Follow Me Here

I'm starting a Tumblr account for all the random stuff I want to post online that doesn't really fit into my travel/photography/other blogs.

So, if you are so inclined, keep up with me there: Just Allie

I'll still continue to post here, but probably not with much regularity.

Cheers!

Online Life Consolidation

I spent the better part of my morning attempting to consolidate my online presence to one central location and failing. I wonder if it's possible to import posts from my other blogs into this one. That might solve part of my problems.

Sorry A-Train of Thought, you always end up neglected. I don't mean to ignore you, I just end up spilling all my stories to all the other outlets. Maybe it's time to retire you.

Happy Birthday to ME!

Today I am 28.

It's odd. I don't feel my age. But who really does, right?

Today's been a great day. Ange (my friend/current roommate) made me pancakes for breakfast. And she made me dinner. She did more for me that my bf last year (of 3+ years) did. I went for drinks with friends.

I came home and have been reflective and indecisive and much like myself.

I'm in a weird spot lately and not sure what to do with it because I know the consequences of all my possible outcomes and I don't like any of them so I'm not doing anything. Wow, that sounds like everything I always say. Dammit it sucks when you have to be vague and censor yourself on your own blog because you don't want to admit anything to yourself.

Suffice it to say this: I am stuck having feelings for the person that would be perfect for me like, 5 years from now. I'm not ready for that, he's not ready for that. I know that pursuing something would mess it all up. Neither of us are in the right place for it to work and I refuse to lose what we DO have for the sake of something that I know will ultimately fail.

Maybe you know who I'm talking about. It's probably not much of a stretch.

So guess what I'm going going to do: Continue dating/going after the boys I'm not meant to be with. Partly because I know it's easier than giving up my heart. Partly because it's amusing and fun to meet new people. Partly because thats what I always do.

Welcome to 28. It's exactly like all the years before.

Bodily Change?

  I've been on this kick to attempt to lose weight etc. I've made progress, having lost inches overall.

I kinda wish I'd taken pictures from the get go, but instead I'll just use the ones that I took over a year ago when I started the 30 Day Shred.

Jan 9th I measured myself (curiously this is exactly a year later from the last time I posted).


A Year Ago: 
Calves 15.25
Thighs
  lower 19
  upper 25.25
Hips   42.5
waist
  where I wear my pants  34
  "true" waist  29
bust    32.5/36.5
arms  11.5


Jan 9 2011
Thighs 27
Hips   43
waist
  where I wear my pants  36
  "true" waist  30
arms  12


Feb 26 2011
Thighs 23.75 (this is pretty amazing, actually)
Hips   41 (whoot! 2 inches gone!)
waist
  where I wear my pants  32 (4 inches gone!)
  "true" waist  27.4 (2.4 inches!)
arms  12


Now, granted, I had gone up from last year - but the fact that I am lower now then I was then even is pretty exciting. 


Photos (a year ago)

And now 

Sadly my awesome pants don't accurately depict my leg situation... maybe I'll have to take some more photos.

I've got the world at my fingertips... well, kinda.

I went and got my tattoo done today:

I think it's pretty awesome. Dana at True Love Tattoo did a great job with it!
