Photo Dump...(Aka: not creative enough to make these items work together)

Hey guys! How's it going today? I'd be better if I hadn't slept this whole day away. Whoops!  Today's post is basically a bit of a photo dump. I have a whole bunch of pictures and no idea how to create a nice little copacetic post about them so. Here is goes! 

On the way home from work yesterday, I spotted this ridiculous column of smoke. Holy fire on the mountain (again!), Batman...This one is at Camp Williams.  I haven't been listening to the radio to know if it's contained or what is going on, but the whole valley is filled with smoke and the smell of fire. Way too scary. 

Did I ever tell you I got my ears pierced a second time? Well I did and on Tuesday I got to change the earrings in the second hole. I got all excited a took a picture. So here it is!

You can ignore my less-than-stylish hair-do. Or make fun, whatever. 

The next few photos are to announce that I am now on Instagram! I got an account when I first got an iPhone but I majorly neglected it, so I just quit that account and created a whole new one. You can follow me @camocolored. I decided to keep all my names the same. I am a bear of small brain and I forget everything so I try to keep things simple. 

So there's my profile picture! It looks like my ring is on my right hand because I used my front camera...dumb. It's on the left.

Last night, I made sloppy joes for dinner and I couldn't resit taking a photo of them. Isn't that what Instagram is for? Taking picture of your food? Might as well be, because that is most of my photofeed.

Last night I hit the gym with a big goal in mind. I need to be able to run 2 miles in under 20 minutes to pass the Army Fitness Test and I want to freaking destroy it, not just pass it...well I didn't achieve that goal, but I did force myself to run until I hit two miles, which I never do. I always quit after one or sometimes 1.5 when I feel ambitious.

And here is your proof. And yes, those are both instagramed. So go and follow me! I like to have people to share with! 

Also, don't forget to go and follow me on Twitter (Katie Nay @ camocolored) I'm still getting used to it, but I'm really liking it and figuring out how to use it. It's a lot more fun than I expected it to me. (I always thought the only point of it was to tell people when you were taking a poop. I'm being proven wrong.)

And that's all I've got for you today! Yay for actually blogging on my day off. 

Happy Thursday!

Raising The Bar

In prepartion for "basic", as all the cool kids call it, I've started this little fitness log in a journal I found while tearing my room apart. I wrote in dates thinking it would force me to actually do the PT tests... Hopefully it works. I want to blow those minimum requirements out of the water by the time I leave for basic in January.

This little fitness log is also going to include one of these "What I Ate Today" type things. I'm kinda scared to start it. I don't know what the heck I eat and I have a feeling it isn't good...I'm starting it on Monday (because of course, you can't possibly start anything new on any other day of the week...). I've also started a really mean work out at the gym and I have begun using...the eliptical. I hate that stupid thing, but it makes me hurt and that has to be a good thing. I'm about to become a major gym-rat...

Also, I'm giving up one of my new favorite things...It's sad because I just barely found out that I love it.  It's...Pepsi Throwback. I am a Pepsi-hater and a strictly Coke-Drinker. But I decided to give this stuff a try and I love it. Sadly, it has to go. I don't care if it is made from real sugar, it's bad for me and will make me run slower. I'm sure of it.  Along with the soda, I'm changing my eating habits completely. I've been planning on doing it forever, and now I've got some major motivation. Hopefully I actually stick to it.

In other news, check out my cute little garden! It's kinda hard to see in the picture, But it's really flourishing and I'm so excited to harvest! Because I got it in the ground a little bit late, I won't be able to harvest until the end of August maybe early September. But I'm really proud of that thing and how it turned out. It was very theraputic to do it and it may have saved my relationship...They really mean it when they say that gardening is cheaper than therapy!

And that's that. See you next time!
