Lent and stuff...

So, Lent is going pretty well. Except for today. I procrastinated getting out of bed this morning and completely slept through my classes. I still need a little more work on the whole soda thing...what can I say? I'm a work in progress.

I went to see Dr. Springer yesterday for my semi-annual diabetes check. I've always known that I'm a good weight maintainer and my appointment only confirmed that. So I need to get back on the exercise bandwagon and lose some more. I'd like to lose at least 80 lbs by the end of the summer. I think that'd be the ideal. I've sort of started my new "diet" today. I had cashews and yogurt this morning for breakfast. I just need to catch up on my water consumption and take my prenatal vitamin. Oh yeah...I'm taking prenatal vitamins. Mostly to make my hair grow a bit thicker. When I asked Dr. Springer if it was okay that I was taking them she said that the other medication I'm taking for my diabetes kind of depletes my B12 levels so it's a good thing that I'm taking them.

I also got my H1N1 vaccine yesterday at my appointment. When I woke up this morning, it felt like someone punched me nice and hard in the arm. It hurts. I also got 2 vials of blood drawn to check my A1c levels as well as bunch of things to see if the medication I'm taking is helping me fight the diabetes. I have a nice bruise forming where they stuck me. It still hurts. I also had to pee in a cup to check my liver and kidney functions. That part always makes me gag for some reason. I just think it's gross.

Oh! I do have some exciting news (not that peeing in a cup isn't exciting enough). One of my best friends moved back home on Wednesday from Pennsylvania! I'm excited to have her home and so much closer.

Other than that, I've been flying under the radar. Not a lot has been happening. Although, I am so excited for Spring to arrive. I am so done with the cold and wet. It's infinitely depressing to be cold and wet all the time.

Anyhow, I'm gonna go outside and enjoy the sun while it's still out.

Late...As Usual

So, turns out that I'm not so great at posting on here as I once was. I was even late to post my once yearly Dear Mom post. I really have no excuses other than I've been out of school for almost 3 weeks now since I started going full-time in January. I'm pretty sure the last time I posted anything was in October of last year. Anyway, let's play catch up! I started school full-time in January at BYU-Idaho's online program. I completed 28 credits this year. I'm ready for a break. The accreditation for the public health degree program changed but the changes only apply for the on-campus students and not the online students - aka me. So I'm going to have to transfer schools...again. I've been looking at grad programs in Portland, Oregon. Portland calls my name at least once a year, and I always research reasons to move back. The first time I moved there I was under prepared. I moved with the wrong person. When I move back, I'll be done with school...

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

New Things

So, I haven't made a public announcement, but I got a job T H R E E weeks ago. I've been gainfully employed for just over 3 weeks ago. I love working. I love having a job. I love being able to buy the stupid things like toothpaste and shampoo, because really? Since I can buy the stupid silly things that people need to function, means that I can start saving, pay tithing, go grocery shopping. Also, since I work for a certain Church funded company, I also get to go to school. For free. Then, after I'm done doing the program that I've been interested in, since forever, I get to go to Weber and finish my bachelor's degree the debt free way. Awesome, right? It is. It's also a lot of work because since the Church is all about self-reliance and what not, I have to do the work all myself which means that I have to find the motivation to go to 2 night classes a week to get to the point where I can finish my bachelor's without going into more debt. But you know what? ...
