have you ever

Did you ever think you were fat in high school? Only to see yourself now and think, Why did I think I was fat? It happened to me. I even thought I was fat when I was in the Army and prolly in the best shape of my life. I sort of regret feeling that way, and when I think about it, it makes me angry- Yeah, I wasn't the skinniest girl in my class, but I could still shop in the juniors department, and dresses looked ok on me. I started working out again, and working on my cholesterol- and it is helping my work be a little less painful. There is a lot of bending, stooping and lifting in my job. I have been saving money on not eating out,and learning new delicious recipes and earning extra $$ working on my parents yard projects with Joshua. That was my arm and back workout yesterday. I ripped up tree roots, dug holes and planted bamboo starts. I have to workout to keep up my energy for my new schedule up.
I work now Fri, sat and sun, 4p-10p fri, 6a-10p sat & sun. Sat and sun are pretty rough, I don't get to go to my new awesome ward- if I new this building was so cute I would of had our wedding there instead of in monmouth. But working 2 16 hour shifts is very draining, and monday feels like a recovery day. During the week I cook, clean, paint (feels so good to be doing that again), and now force myself to go to the gym. Next term (winter) I might look at going back to school, and take some psych classes. This term doesn't seem feasable. I need my body to be more used to this shift. I also might seek a different shift/house when one is available so I can actually go to church. That would be nice

Sounds like things are going pretty good. Glad your working out, and trying to eat better. It's so hard to keep the eating thing under control for me, I just love the food. Working out is super easy since I've found the perfect work out friend. She's out of town all this week though, so it's going to definitly be a struggle. Knowing your working on it help though, so keep it up and I'll be rooting for you! Also, I think school is an excellent idea. You've already put in so much time, it would be such a smart move to finish it up. Take care, and drop me an email. Love you!

I second what April said- I LOVE FOOD way too much and am having a hard time controlling myself. I want to start taking the baby on walks at night to get a little excercise in but there always seems to ba an excuse- Good Luck and hope to see you at christmas!
