Not sure why I chose that title. Maybe because I flirt with disaster. For instance, because I work two jobs, I am lacking sleep. Which means my immune system is low. Which also means I'm not up to par when I'm driving to work in the morning. Which means I easily get irritated throughout the day. All those things lead to disaster.
Or maybe it's because life is potentially one big disaster waiting to happen. I mean that's possible right? One major wrong move, and we are in disaster mode. That also makes life feel little more thrilling too! Instead of a mundane "this is my life" attitude, I feel like it's always an adventure, a Choose-Your-Own-Ending kind of thing. Free will or not (depending on your view of the bible and God) it's fun to choose your destiny in a sense.
Anyway, I apologize for my ranting, it's been a looong couple of days and I'm in Zombieland right now. I swear, I'll never feel better if I don't get the sleep I need. It's a okay to have a cold forever... right? lol.
Not too much has happened since Wednesday. But I'm trying to write more often and not such long posts because, frankly, I think people get exhausted. Or maybe you don't. Maybe you all love the random tangents I go on.
As of Wednesday, I have officially been a long-term gym goer. When I moved into the Beckman's house last summer, I signed up with LA Fitness just so I could start working out again. I was on a pay-per-week subscription because I wasn't sure how long I would be staying with them and I wasn't sure if I really could afford to go without having health insurance cover some of it.
That was August 1st, 2011. Now I can say that I have gone to the gym for several months at 12 times or more per month, that I've really learned how to work out, and how to work out certain areas of my body, and that I've really found a love in it. Working out isn't just "working out" anymore. It's a way to unwind, relax, and feel good about myself and my body. Sure, I'm not quite where I want to be weight and muscle wise, but I'm a heck of a lot closer than I was a year ago. In that time I also lost 12 pounds and kept it off. I may have lost more, but I also think I've gained muscle which has maybe added a few pounds back on.
At my lowest, before I started a day job that required 8 hours of sitting, I had lost almost 20 pounds! So trying to adjust to this new sedentary lifestyle (besides the few nights a week I serve and run around for hours on end) has been difficult. I hope by August 1st, 2013 I'll have reached my goal weight (an extra 14 pounds) Fingers crossed!
Besides that, this week has been pretty mellow. I don't have any crazy plans for the weekend, no dramas has happened... i've pretty much just been working. Oh the joys of adulthood. OH! I will say Jenna Marbles (on Youtube) made a new video about her boyfriend putting her makeup on for her... it's 9 minutes of hilariousness! Seriously. Watch it. You'll love it.
Cheers to the weekend my friends!
Always, A
