Hello, My Lovely Readers,
I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately. School is almost over, which means that summer is approaching! My goal is to be super active this summer. My mom and I are planning on running in the Orange Park Acres 5K Run on the 4th of July! I'm really excited about that. I also really want to get back into sports, like soccer, tennis, golf, and volleyball. Just casually, of course, but they are such a fun way to get exercise. I'll try to let y'all know when I'm going to be doing things so that you can join me if you'd like! Another one of my summer goals is to learn how to paddlesurf.
I really want to get into healthy cooking. I'm always so worried that healthy things are going to taste really bad, but deep down, I know that's not so. I have a really good feeling about this summer. I'll be taking a few classes, but that is over at the end of June, so I have two months to make the most of it!
I have to sign up for the Disney Princess Half Marathon soon (June 11). I'm wondering if there is anybody who wants to run it with me! It's at DisneyWorld, not Disneyland, so I understand that this limits some people. We can dress up in some crazy tutus or princess dresses or something and run our hearts out! It would mean a lot to me if my friends and family would join me; that support means so much to me. It would be so great to accomplish my goal with you all right beside me (or probably in front of me, dragging me to the finish line). Please let me know if you are serious about joining me by June 6th. I'm so excited!
I love you all so much. Thank you for visiting my website so often and continuing to encourage me every day. It is so uplifting to know that so many people are rooting for me.
Love Always,
Nicki

Right Where I'm Supposed to Be
Hello everybody!
I am proud to announce that I have officially hit my 15 pound goal!! I am now just under 280 pounds, and I am going to try my hardest to get into the 260s before the end of the semester, which gives me 5 weeks! I really think I can do it.
It's amazing. You don't really understand how big of a deal 15 pounds is until you hold a few bags of sugar or a 15 pound weight and realize you had this hanging off of your body not too long ago. Imagine when I hit my 40 pound goal! Thats an entire bag of dog food! Crazy.
So, in the next five weeks, I am going to be bogged down with papers and projects and presentations and studying for finals, but I promised myself that I would find time to keep going on runs. I've found that not only are they physically good for me, but I find them to be very therapeutic. If I'm stressed and I go on a run, I'm giving myself time to either really think it over or forget about it and come back with a clean slate of emotions. So I'm going to keep running, and I also want to do something fun and active once a week, like bowling or hiking. I just want to do something new and different!
As I've said before, don't hesitate to let me know if you want to something fun and active with me! I'll more than likely be up for the challenge! And thank you all so much for the inspiration you give me every day! It was funny, the other day my mom said, "maybe you should hang a picture of (a guy that I've had a not-so-secret crush on for a while that I'm not going to name here because that would be mortifying) in your room for inspiration." I looked at her and said, "as nice as that sounds, I feel like I have all the inspiration I need right in front of me. My inspiration is my friends, my family, and my ultimate goal." I feel like I'm right where I'm supposed to be, and that is the best feeling in the world!

Moving Forward
Hello everyone!
The past few weeks have been very tough for me. On Saturday, I broke up with my boyfriend of 3 1/2 years, because we were just in a spot where we needed to focus on our own issues, and that was easier to do apart, I guess. So now, I am going to focus on my own issues. I want to spend the next few months really focusing on me and what I need. So, I am going to power out on being healthy. By the time the semester ends, I want to have hit my 30 pound mark. I really think that I can do it, now that I can focus all my energy on me. But I need your help!! I would love to start doing some new adventurous things, so if you'd like to join me on any excursions, don't hesitate to let me know!!! Some things that I really want to do are hike, ride my bike, and maybe even learn how to paddlesurf!!
Thank you all once more for all the support you have given me. It means the world to me. Thanks to you, I am always feeling motivated and inspired to move forward. I have a really good feeling about the next few months; I am going to get healthy and have fun doing it!!
