Today

Woke up when Matt left for work, I wanna say 7:30ish, spent an hour emptying my clothes out of laundry baskets & hanging them & arranging them on the shelf. . . Then went running. It had been a whole week since I had gone, which is the first time I have gone a week without working out at least twice since September. No shit. Buuuuut, in my defense, it was Christmas, & I did lift heavy stuff while moving lol. Regardless, it was a bit of a challenge to make myself run today. Did not post very impressive numbers... 4.55 miles in 45 minutes. Meh. Oh well, at least I was still under 10min/mi, even if it was barely. Then went home & finished unpacking/washing the dishes. Wiped down all the appliances & arranged them, cleaned out the microwave, unpacked my new pots & pans, soaked them to remove the copper protectant stuff, took a nice hot bath, & got ready for work. Ate good today, actually. First day I haven't gorged on crap in quite awhile. Felt good. =) Still sitting right @ 175... considering how I've been eating, I can't complain 1 little bit. Gonna try & go back to not eating past 7 again...we'll see how it goes. Anywho, just bored @ work, thought I'd do a quick life/fitness type update. Love and hugs,

Holiday Hangover

Day after Christmas 2010. Reflecting over all the things that have happened since my last post. Met my soulmate (wtf you say?) Matthew Mark Paulsen. All the stars in the sky aligned just right one day & now I have this amazing man in my life whom I love with all my heart, & I plan on doing so until the day I die, & then for awhile longer. =) Have been working out semi-regularly since I met him, but the holiday eating got a little out of control. That's ok though, that's what new years resolutions are for, right? Right! Lol. Had a fantastic holiday season so far, soon to be culminated with the new years party @ the Shilo =) Went & saw the forgotten carols, saw santa, made a gingerbread house, made goodie plates, spent lots of time with my amazing boyfriend, & my adorable little son, had a great time @ the family christmas parties. Was a great way to finish off a year that started off completely, horribly, terribly wrong. 

Still stressing about next semester. Renting an apartment in Shelley with Matt, just gonna commute down to Poky 5 days a week. It's gonna be rough, but what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger. Taking 17 credits. A mass comm class, english class, math, spanish, web design, and a weightlifting class. Pretty diverse schedule, so hopefully I can make it through the entire semester in one piece.

I'm looking to the future with a more positive attitude. I'm almost done with school, I'm in love, I have a wonderful family....

ain't nothing stopping this girl now. =)
