Scary-skinny

I was bored this morning, so I looked up (on Google Images) 'healthy skinny'. What I found was far from healthy-skinny. It was horrible. Most of the pictures were of girls suffering from Anorexia. It made me think about my weight and how I look compared to their weight and how they look. To tell you the truth, I am happy being slightly overweight like I am now and not scary-skinny like them. If I am gonna lose weight, well, I am gonna do it the right way. Eating healthy and exercising. Not starving myself. I suggest to anyone else out there wanting to lose weight, do it the right way. Being a skeleton isn't cool. Here is what I am doing:


8:00 AM - Eat a small breakfast (oatmeal, pop tarts, two pieces of toast, etc.)
10:00 AM - Eat a small snack (Nutri-Grain bar, granola bar, 8 crackers, etc.)
12:00 Noon - Eat lunch (sandwich, 1 piece of pizza, etc.)
3:00 PM - Eat a small snack (bag of pretzels, crackers and cheese, etc.)
5:00 PM - Eat dinner (something with meat AND veggies, but small)
6:30 PM - exercise for 1 hour *until 7:30* (Sit-ups, push-ups, jogging, walking, etc.)
DON'T FORGET TO STRETCH!! :D


I do that everyday. My dad said that I would speed up my metabolism and lose weight, but stay fit at the same time. He said not to think of it as a 'DIET' because people think of diets as cutting back, but this is eating more. My dad also said that 'DIET' is 'DIE' with a 't' on the end to disguise what it really does. Think about this. Being a skeleton isn't pretty. Being lean, fit, healthy, and in shape is. And remember to have fun doing this. Do it with your family or a friend. I once heard that if you laugh at least 15 minutes a day life is just a bit happier. So have fun and be fit, not skinny.

Wild Horses Piano Sheet Music

Hey peeps! Wassup?

Well, a couple of days ago I decided to take up my piano again. I am bored with all the little easy songs in the lesson books. I am trying to find piano sheet music to different songs that I know on the internet. They say that the internet has everything but I can't seem to find free piano sheet music to Natasha Bedingfield's Wild Horses. I found it once, but now I can't find it again. I am about to give up hope on finding it. So if you know, can you please give me a link to it? :D

Luvs you guys and gals! BUH BAIZ!!!!

Egwene Background

This is the Egwene Background I have on my computer. I drew her from scratch on MSPaint. Then I saved her and opened her in GIMP where I did the BG (background) in the picture.

Hope you all like it.

Wassup?

Hi peoples! First blog! Hooray! Okay...Let's see.... What should I talk about? Now that I have a blog, I don't know what I should do. Ummm...

I am Steffi Nicole. I am in the 8th grade and I am very short. Around 4'11'. I love to draw and read and sing. Although, I can't say I am 100% good at singing...I am very good at drawing and reading.

I have a weird personality. Well maybe not weird; I don't really know what it is. I am a happy-go-lucky-just-wanna-have-fun-girl around my friends. But when I am around people that are really you know, JUST friends, I don't really know them that well, then I am suddenly as shy as shy can get. That's why I am kinda dreading 8th grade. I am not gonna be in any classes with my friends because I have mostly advanced classes and they don't. The only time I know for sure that I have friends in my class is Band class. I might have friends in my classes, I don't know the schedule yet, but I probably won't.

Drawing. I don't know how many artists out there have a blog; you probably have a Deviant art account, but I love to draw and I don't yet have a Deviant Art account, so this is as close as I am getting. I love to draw so much. For the past week I have been on non-stop drawing mode. I have even made a background for my computer on MSPaint. I am moderately good at drawing in Paint. Better than anyone in my family actually. They use better quality art programs for their art. But all I have is Paint and GIMP. And GIMP irritates the heck out of me.

I usually draw stuff that I read about. Like the Fantasy books I read. The background for my computer is supposed to be Egwene from the Wheel of Time series. I can't wait for the last book in that series to come out next year. I just can't. Anways, I have drawn other characters from those books to but so far Egwene has been the best. I have also drawn Fan art for Legend of Zelda. Mainly Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. But those aren't on my computer.

I guess I have talked enough. Well, BUH BAIZ for now!!
