News, Last of my Asheville report FINALLY

[mayqueen517]

Sorry this has taken so long you guys!



So we talked for a while (Kelpie, myself, Joolz, and Ev...while Hank was at the picnic table I believe) before everyone showed up wherein we piled into cars and drove to the downtown area!

WE came to the place..uh...I seriously wanna say it was like Wild Wings or something. rockfic will probably have to correct me LMAO

Walked in and sat down, joining those who were already there. I ended up sitting between B and Hank and across from Rick, who I shared a slight inside joke that we were just in the middle so we didn't know which conversation to follow. Admittedly I asked a few questions and all and while we were talking I found out that Rick is 27! I seriously thought she was a little older than me and no more. She seemed to get a kick out of that, but if you didn't sweetie...I'm sorry if I offended you! *blush*



Okay, so that's Reesa all turned around (right? if I get this wrong feel free to correct me.) on one side it's Mark's leg (sorry Mark!), Heather, Rick, Kelpie, Joolz then Slay. Then coming up it's Andy, Ev, Hank--who is sorta behind me (we were cramped lol), then me in the hat, B and finally Kasia. If I screwed that up I'm soo sorry! LOL

So after eating (in which Hank picked up the bill much to our suprise and then chastisments ;D) we all started walking. Which is kind of awful when you're full LOL.

So while we were making our trek into downtown Asheville we came across....THIS



Social Aid & Pleasure Club...*snicker* Me and Ev both had to get pictures of it. I mean...come on! LOL

I think after that we all hit the bookstore...in which I snapped this picture, which I love. It's kraftpistole in a bookstore. There's something about it that i LOVE::



We then made the trek up to finally browse a while in a Head Shop. Which was great as Ev decided to buy some jewelry..but...she took a while. We decided that she had just finally gotten herself a job.



heh....Going back outside after I had gotten the picture I saw everyone just looking up at a fire escape and pointing out dangers. *snorts*



Mind you though...That was the first fire escape that I actually stopped to look at. so...yeah LOL

We made a couple of other stops, where I found a shirt for stonefinder That I'm gonna try and get her when I go back in the Spring. But I didn't have the cash at that moment so I took a picture of it. B orginally was holding it but I cropped it until it was just the shirt incase Rhi wanted to shave it down to an LJ icon.



^^Cropped



^^B holding it. :-D

I conned Rick into a picture with me, which it's a good picture of her....I hate the way I look in it LOL



I WAS hunched over though...maybe that's some of it?

Lastly we all walked and walked down until we were at the ice-cream shop...mmm..



^^Kelpie took this I believe (so sorry I yanked it doll! *smooch*)

After all that we went back to the hotel, still thinking we were gonna go out and eat mexican. I was looking forward to it cause then I coulda said bye to everyone but...*sighs* I think I forgot to call Kelpie or whatever, either that or...something got crossed LOL. And then Ev called my room to let me know they didn't know what they were gonna do or if they were gonna go find a bar to drink (her, Joolz, and Hank) so they'd call me back.

So I got called back and all (oddly enough Ev and Joolz were right beside of my room!) and told that they weren't gonna go eat etc and then I told THEM that I was leaving Sunday but I didn't know what time. I would have gone over there to hug them, hang out for a while and say bye but I was a chicken shit and didn't want to bother them. Meaning I stayed in my room. *big blush*

We ended up leaving sometime before 11 maybe. I don't know. I DID get to hug Kelpie and say bye to her. And so we left to drive around the parkway area. I took a whole camera's worth but those haven't been developed yet. Here's some though that my mom took. And there are a few I think that I stole her camera for (if not I have the exact same shots LOL)





^^That's me and my mom by the way. ;D











These last two are my absolute favorites!





So after all that we went home. Where...I was kind of lonely LOL. I miss you guys man!

*sighs* So there it is. The rest of my report. LOL

And now...for my news. I've set a goal for myself---I wanna lose AT LEAST 50 pounds. The weight I'm at is NOT healthy and frankly...I don't look that good. My family's got a history of diabetes so I'm trying to cut back on MY risks for it. But what's so sad is that...I went outside with the goal of jogging a bit for maybe an hour or half hour. I was only able to last 10 mintues.

It's sad lol. I hate the way I look, and I need to lose the weight. *sighs*

BUT my personal reward IF I lose at least 50 (my goal's 80) is to get a tattoo. Nothing big...just my astrological runic symbol.



^^I'm a Taurus and that's my symbol and all. I don't know where I'm gonna get it yet but it's not that big or fancy. *grins*

If you do a little bit each day, you'll find that you can do more as you go along. Start slow and work yourself up to it. No need to get overly ambitious right away. Get your body in shape to get in shape, you know what I mean? Ten minutes is very good for the first try. In few days, you might be able to do 15 minutes and later on twenty. It's takes time and patience and the more you do, the more you'll be able to do. Just be sure to have a good pair of running shoes and a good bra. You don't need to injure yourself doing this.

*nods* I know 10 minutes is good for a first try but I used to be JROTC at my school and so I was used to doing the marching and everything. *sighs* And I've got good shoes...but my bra sucks...lol

Oooooooo....boooooooookkkkkksssss.....

Ahem.

Good luck on your weight loss goal, hon. Like Stoney said, start slowly because if you hurt yourself, it'll take longer to heal and get started back up again. Walking is much easier on the joints than running, IMO.

If you're looking for a good sports bra, go to the following:

They have some GREAT workout gear and I highly recommend their sports bras. I have the one that's for 'extreme high impact' sports---when I bought it from another company, it was advertised as the "Iron Maiden." I shit you not!

Beeeyoootiful pics! Thanks for sharing and for sharing your story! Yes, the ice cream one is mine, but that's fine.

And I'm so glad I got to see you before you left! (That's specifically why I got up early.)

Good luck on the weight loss. Slow and steady will get you far!

It wasn't a problem at all to share! LOL I'm glad it's fine :-D

Awww really? *gets warm fuzzies*

Thanks sweetie!
