A/N: Summaries are so totally not my forte, so if anyone can think of a better one while reading this story at any point, let me know!
Today was my first Doctors appointment of the year. Also... my first pap and breast exam. AWKWARD! She kept trying to reassure me that she wasn't putting anything big or weird in there... but that wasn't my issue. My issue was... she didn't buy me dinner. I just don't like the idea of the first person to ever see me being a woman twice my age feeling my boobs and sticking Q-tips in my vagina. Call me crazy.
I also had my first HPV shot today and will have another one two months from now, and another one four months from that. WooT.
Also! So me of you know I've been trying to loose weight (and save money) by packing healthy lunched for myself everyday.
Next step is to work out. I've lost 8lbs since I began packing lunches and it's time to kick it up a notch.
Most people who have known me or read my journal for the last few years know that my weight is a constant issue and has been a life long struggle for me. I've pretty much tried every diet out there and I've been active, but for some reason I can't seem to manage my weight. Over the past year I've become a lot less active, and it shows. I'm going to begin working out a MINIMUM of a half hour a day, five days a week. My goal is to loose 95lbs by this time next year. I know that sounds like a lot of weight, it seems like a lot to me too... but according to the chart my doctor gave me... losing 95lbs will put me smack in the middle of the healthy weight zone according to my height. In the interest of not turning into some weight obsessed crazy, I have also decided that if I become happy with my size before I reach my target weight, I will stop there. Weight isn't everything.
So! I stole this nifty little ticker from a friends journal and am planning on employing it to track my weight loss. I'm also hoping that posting this in my public journal will keep me interested in doing this. So that everyone can see my progress. I will now post a few pictures so you get an idea of my size. Along with my stats, which I will be updating once a month. For a year. So... 12 posts with my weight and pictures once a month to catalog my progress. Here we are. Number One:

A lady that I work with just came to my office and said:
"Hey, I was thinking about you. You are an awesome and unique person. Don't ever change your ways, no matter what anyone else says. There aren't many people like you around, so stick with it!"
Then she just... kind of left. I said thanks and she just shouted that she loved me back and then the guy down the hall told her to keep her private feelings private.
Weird, but also pretty great, and kind of brightened my day.
Title: To Get Where We Are - Chapter 3 Author:bemygoodday Word Count: 2,200 (this part) Rating: R (this part for violence and language) Summary: Harry is going through Auror training and trying to figure out where he wants to be in ten years. Warning(s): DH spoilers, EWE Note: This story is loosely inspired by another story I wrote titled 'All You Want'. Someone had left me a comment to it saying they would like to see the results of Harry finally deciding what he wanted to do with his life, and doing it, instead of just doing the things expected of him. This is my take on that.

Mel and I went out for some Mexican today before we went to go see Prince Caspian again.
I've always had a habit of drawing pictures on my take away boxes, this one was a good time and I thought I would share!
Between lunch and the movie we went to the mall and we were only inside for a few minutes and when we entered it was clear and blue skies. On our way out, the lights were flashing and when we finally got to the doors we saw we were having a freaking MONSOON outside. No kidding. The tornado sirens were going off and peoples car alarms were freaking out. We got soaked in a flash and I spent the whole movie with soggy socks (-_-)

Title: Boy Who Cried Potter - Prologue Author:bemygoodday Word Count: 2,100 (this part) Rating: PG-13 (this part) Summary: After Draco fails the Dark Lord he hides from his past in the last place anyone would think to look-- the muggle world. Warning(s): Mention of violence (this part) Note: This story is based off of the requesttmkline made about a month ago asking for a fic that takes place immediately after HBP, with a handful of other plot points. I took it on because it sounded like a challenge and my muse was on vacation. Oi vey- yes, a challenge. This is what I came up with, hopefully it works for tmkline at the least! I probably should have two WIP's out there at once, but this one is about finished and fairly short (for a chaptered fic), so I think it's safe to begin posting!

JK Rowling did a commencement speech for Harvard Graduates this year and I found it to be inspirational in it's own right and not just for those graduating from Harvard or anywhere else this season. If you have the time, I would suggest reading it. In a strange way it meant something to me, the same way 'Letters to a Young Poet' did when I first read it. There is something about advice given that always makes me feel good.
Anyhow, I've included the speech under this cut. You can see a video of it @ Harvard dot com.
