So I was doing my assigned reading for my Ethics class. Snooze.....
Naw....Here's what this guy says about people who want to take a quick view and generalize the whole human race to get it over with:
"Why, then, should anyone ever have thought it a true view? (He's talking about psychological egoism here....that we all do things motivated by self-interest)...Perhaps because of a desire for theoretical simplicity: in thinking about human conduct, it would be nice if there were some simple formula that would unite the diverse phenomena of human behavior under a single explanatory principle, just as simple formulae in physics bring together a great many apparently different phenomena."
BOOM. He slammed those lazies didn't he? It would be NICE wouldn't it? To unite us under a single explanatory principle like he says we try to do so often. Yeah, buddy James Rachels. I smiled at my reading like a big nerd. So then I wrote it here because I didn't want to forget it.
Sometimes girls, skewl is kewl. Don't forget it.

The weight is over
The weight is over....Get it? Weight? Who doesn't love a good play on words? Mwahahaha?
People who aren't nerds?
Right.
Well, I made it. I lost *32* lbs in my 30th year and my big goal was 30 lbs in my 30th year so WAM BA DA BAM DA BAM!!! We did it! Now it's time for new goal.....I don't know what. 10? I think I'll do that because I feel tired right now and slightly unmotivated as I drink this vanilla latte....
Many people just now are noticing that I lost weight. I think it's mostly because I lost it really slowly errrr maybe because I was super fat to begin with. I dunno. Probably. But, they ask me HOW I did it. So, here is the lowdown:
I asked my cousin Brandy in AZ how she did it and she said:
1. Track your food intake on livestrong.com
So I did. There. That was it.
Once I did that, it was clear that I was eating too much even though I always thought I was eating appropriately.
NOT so.
So, once I got that mastered, I could enter in my activity and track my weight loss and many other cool features and it was all FREE. (My favorite word).
I only used it for the first few months and now I just know how much to eat. But it was a great boost into healthy land.
In the last 8 weeks or so, I began on the wonderful journey of 5K training. There may or may not have been some sarcasm attached to that statement. My friend Jess asked me to train with her because I had just run the Grand Blue Mile (not well) and she thought we could do the PC 5K coming up in July. Sure, why not? So here we are! And I think both of us have surprised ourselves. We are better than we knew we could be. And we have had a lot of fun training. We run and talk and chat about everything under the sun and most of the time the sun is going down or down already as this is the only time we can escape to run soo.....anyway......So, with that coming up in July here along with some big birthdays too (Eli turns 3 and Mel turns 31 and my parents and 49 other people I know have birthdays in July too), we're pretty pumped for the month.
What about you? What's on your sched for July?

Blue House/New House
Here it is! It's our Blue House/New House 2013 4 Life.
We are so happy. We frolic in the field. We play football and soccer. We mow ALL the time. Olivia has already earned $5. (I know). I wake up in the morning and look out my window and smile at my garden. Sigh......we love it. It is good. Enjoy our phots.
A million thanks to everyone who helped us pack, move, mow, load, unload, and various other moving related projects. We are so thankful for YOU!
Thanks for sharing in our new adventure!
