Taking control...

... and kicking ass while blogging about weight-loss, chocolate, alcohol, my boyfriend and dog and just about every other bane of the woman-20-something's existence.

  1. Prodigal Post.

    It’s been a hell if a ling time since I last posted here. It’s kind of funny and embarrassing that when I first started this blog, I was totally passionate about it. I was all like ‘I’m going to be proud of this!’ bit then I ended up all like ‘awwww crap, I don’t want to share my feelings and b.s.”

    It’s a wild ride. I gained 30 pounds, then lost 50, then gained 20 back. Ugh… Life and me eating its emotions. Lately I’ve been disappointed in myself for gaining that weight but you can’t hold a grudge against yourself for too long.

    The goal is to lose 20 pounds by June 1st. That’s the first day of my summer vacation and I just want to feel better. I want to look better.

    Tomorrow is a new day filled with laundry, sit ups, cleaning and homework. Great.

    For funsies I’ll probably write a Summer 2013 Bucket List to distract myself from what I need to get done. We’ll see!

    Keep kickin’!!

    So, so sorry about all the duplicate posts! Our queue keeps throwing spontaneous tantrums, and there’s not really anything we can do to prevent or even predict it. But I’ll definitely try get better at catching it before things post like 15 times… 

     
     

  5. OH GOD

  6. fuckyeahtattoos: I got this right above my ankle shortly after coming back from a 2 week vacation in Peru. Peru was the first mark I ever made in my passport and I wanted to get something to symbolize the trip. I found this carved in the amazon. My sister has a matching one on her arm. I would like to continue to travel and get a tat for each trip I go on. Jessica, Long Island. Done by: Andres, Tattoo Lou’s in St.James

  7. fuckyeahtattoos: Finally all healed. “Vision over visibility” is a phrase from U2’s song “Moment of Surrender.”  In a Rolling Stone article, “U2 Digs Deep”, Bono said he spent years trying to fit the phrase into poems, titles, and songs but nothing seemed to work. Eventually, he placed it in the song above. From the article, ” ‘It’s an idea I’ve held on to quite tightly over the years,’ he says, ‘It’s like Martin Luther King’s speech - the moment when you see the place, but you can’t see yet how to get there.’ The slogan stands for an insistence on looking past what you can see in favor of what could be.” Basically, this accurately describes how I feel when I really get a hold on an idea when writing. The tattoo itself was done by my good friend and fellow writer, Phil Grech, in St. Augustine, Florida. My Tumblr: http://heylaurenmack.tumblr.com

  9. fuckyeahtattoos: First tattoo. Just got it done at Interrobang Tattoo studio in Providence, RI :)Elephants have been my favorite animal since I was a child.  I love everything about them and knew that this would be a great way to show my love for them.  It’s small and simple but I think still it’s awesome :)

  10. I don&#8217;t even like Harry Potter all that much, but I LOVE the creativity in the placement of a magic wand!  fuckyeahtattoos: As the movies come to an end, this is my small dedication to the series that impacted my life in many beautiful ways. My little wand and stars, on my ring finger because I found the love of my life in these books. My first Harry Potter tattoo, but definitely not my last… . .
