WORDPRESS FAILURE!!!
Can anyone PLEASE help me with this switch to Wordpress? I have my new blog set up, but the only problem that I am having is figuring out how to follow non-wordpress blogs. Is it even possible?? How do you all do it? I am trying to get this set up by the weekend. I leave for Argentina on Thursday and would love to update you all on my new blog with pictures from these past couple of months. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! I would even be willing to let someone just "take over" my blog and and do the dirty work themselves if they were so inclined to do so. I am DESPERATE!
Thanks a bunch - love you bloggies!

Let it out.
Hey guys.
This post is not really positive, so read if you want to.
I am feeling really down about my body right now. I've been on vacation for one week in North Carolina with my boyfriend and his family. I've been eating out a lot, eating tons of cereal, and ice cream practically every night. FULL FAT ice cream.
On top of all of that I haven't been doing daily exercise. We've been walking almost every day. Two nights in a row Brad and I did do a run on the beach. And, most nights I've been doing some abdominal exercises, but I have gained weight and it's really pulling me down, emotionally.
I know that I am not fat, but I feel ugly and I FEEL fat. It's like I have lost all that I have been working for. I was going to the gym 6 days a week. I did yoga 3 times a week. Cardio every day. Strength training about 3 times a week. And, now I feel LAZY.
I honestly can't wait to get home tonight and then tomorrow morning head to the gym. I also need to cut the bad eating habits that I have become accustomed to here.
I only have 1.5 weeks to get back to the way I was before I go to Argentina. I CAN'T do what I did last time I was there (2 years ago). I gained 6 lbs. I was the biggest I had ever been. 6 lbs doesn't sound like much, but I was puffy. And, it caused me to spiral into my eating disorder. I know that I still have a disorder, but it's not nearly as fierce as it was then. I gained that weight because I would eat wayyy tooooo many sweets each and every day. I was eating red meat, fried foods, very cheesy stuff. I wasn't exercising at all either.
I think this summer will be different. I hope. I will be staying with my host sister, Mili, who is very health conscious, like me. She eats a healthy clean diet: lots of yogurt, fish, fresh vegetables and fruit. Her mom grows a garden with avocados and she even makes homemade almond milk and yogurts! I am very thankful for that. And, Mili told me that we could run/walk every day. Plus, I think I am going to bring some fitness DVDs and there is always Hulu to find exercise t.v. and other videos on. Plus, I will be taking yoga classes every week (maybe every day, if I have the time). It's only $40 for a full month of yoga classes. Mili is also a dancer, so I will be participating in some dance classes.
My 5 weeks in Argentina will be healthy, I think. I hope. Fingers crossed.
I know that I can do this. I know that I can get back to my fitness routine of going to the gym every day this next week and a half. I know that I can get back to eating healthy. I have a buttload of yogurt at home waiting to be eaten. I need to eat all of my perishables. So, meals will pretty much be overnight oats (with yog), yogurt messes, yogurt and fruit, chicken salad (made with greek yog), spinach salads with grilled chicken, salmon, fresh veggies. I also have some breads to eat like wraps, pita, sandwich thins. I want to try to avoid cereal as much as I can, but I do have some boxes that I need to eat up that are open. Cereal is a food that causes much strife with my eating disorder. I will eat a bowl of it for a snack (not a very filling and healthy snack). Then, I will go back for more...and more...and more. After I finish my stock of cereal, I think I am only going to keep two healthy boxes of it on me at once.
I also haven't been drinking enough water this past week. I feel sluggish and dehydrated. Too much sugar, fat, and other bad stuff from ice cream. I want to flush my toxins. So, onto healthy eating and fitness it is!
Sorry, I know this was a very negative post. But, I needed to vent. I keep complaining to Brad, but he just tells me I am fine...beautiful the way I am. I know that I am beautiful to him. But, I want to be beautiful to MYSELF too. I felt amazing before this week. I had nice abs, firm thighs, butt, and arms. Now I feel like blubber. I am making a promise to myself that by the time my plane jets off to Argentina in a week and a half, I will be back to the way I was before. I can do this! How is that for positivity?

Help me before I go?
Hello everyone...it's been a while..too long to be honest. :(
What's been up with me?
I've finished high school.
I had my very last dance recital - senior solo and all.
I'm vacationing in North Carolina with my boyfriend.
I'm about to head to Argentina for 5 weeks in just 1 and a half weeks.
My summer is about to get CRAZY. Heck, it already it crazy!
On top of all of these shenanigans, I have been trying to set up my new blog over at Wordpress. I've been having some bad luck with trying to convert all of the blogs that I follow on blogspot over to WP. :( It will only let me add the WP blogs. Is there anyone out there that could help me with this? I will take any/all the help that I can get! Please and thank you :)
Also, before I venture off to South America, I would like to post about my graduation, recital, and vacation. Oh, I also have to recap my birthday from about a month ago. ANDDDD, I need to do another buttload of reviews. It seems that the next few days will be pretty blog heavy for me. No worries though, I love the bloggin' :)
Another thing: I know I haven't been commenting at all, but I HAVE been reading. I am keeping up as much as possible right now. I really hope to be able to comment more once things start to slow down. But, I do know that I don't want to spend my entire summer glued to the computer screen and potentially sacrifice my last summer before college, a summer in Argentina, and a summer with my amazing boyfriend. So, I apologize. But, this little blogger girl has to do what she has to do. I truly miss posting and commenting. :( Hopefully, things will work out and I can stay relatively updated!
Well, if anyone could give me some tips on the wordpress thing, it would be greatly appreciated! I am off to figure out what to do with the rest of the evening with my boyfriend here in beautiful North Carolina. We are literally a 2 minute walk from the beach. Ah, c'est la vie! :)

Here's what's going down:
Hey my fellow followers (if you are still out there) *cricket noises in the background*
As you know, I graduate in just 2 weeks. That means these next two weeks are going to be crazy busy. So, here's how it's doing down on Don't Worry, Be Happy, Be Vegan:
I will be posting one more post on this blog. It's one full of reviews, so be ready. I already have it written, but I need to upload the photos (if it will let me this time). After I post it, I will probably not post again on this blog domain...
I am getting a new blog! I figured that since I no longer follow an all-vegan diet, I should change my title. And, I have heard that Wordpress is 100x better. Your thoughts? I am going to try and make my new blog one that includes my daily doings and not just food. We'll see how that goes...
Therefore, you won't be seeing my birthday recap for a couple of weeks. I hope you stay tuned, though! I am still reading all of your lovely blogs, so don't worry! :) I have been so anxious to post, but time has not allowed me to. 2 weeks, 2 weeks!
I hope that everyone is enjoying this month of May - it sure is flying by!
See you in a couple of weeks, blogging buddies. :)

18 years...
18 years old. That's how old I will be tomorrow around 7:00 ish pm (I believe).
Wow, I can't believe I am going to officially be an adult. This is crazy!
It won't feel that different, but some things will change. No curfew. WHOO!
This year, my birthday is something special:
C'est la vie...happy birthday day to me! :)

This year, my birthday is something special:
- May 6th (my actual day of birth) - Oxford, OH to spend the day with my boy. Eating at a lovely organic/local restaurant, Kona Bistro. Spending some time outdoors and enjoying life.
- May 7th - Lunch with my pappy (dad) at some cool restaurant on Broad Ripple in Indianapolis. Quite possibly Zest.
- May 8th - Day out with madre, step father, and Brad. Columbus, OH - German Village, Polaris Mall, and PATTYCAKE BAKERY where I will be consuming/buying lots of vegan baked goods, including my carrot cake birthday cake and my graduation cake (I will surprise you with that one later!)
- May 9th - Mother's Day! Celebrating my birthday in conjunction with el dia de las mamas con mi familia. Eating the carrot cake, receiving gifts, and appreciating my mother all at once.
C'est la vie...happy birthday day to me! :)
