A Healthier Me!

The new job is still going really well. I like the people & the job is very basic. It's a place to start! So I have started a diet. I've been feeling the water for the past few weeks. I feel like it is going well. I don't want to hit it hard core at first, I'm easing into. Which is the right way to go about it, or so I have read, for a life long change. Not just a quick fix. I haven't lost any weight yet. I'm just working on getting my eating under control, which is going well! I'm very pleased with myself, but I still have work to do! I'm drinking water when I feel like I need a snack. I avoid buying sweet things that way they are not around when I'm craving them. My next step is buying better foods. While doing that I'm going to start exercising. We have a bike which I plan on doing after work for 20-30 minutes. When it warms up I will start taking Scribbles for walks and going to the track. I'm excited for this! I'm going slow & hopefully making life long changes! I'm scared of the heart problems & diabetes that runs in my family. Being healthier will help me fend off those threats! I don't think I have any other exciting things going on.

Things that Shine!

So I found the perfect ring!! It was so super nice! I'm in love with it & I want to buy it for myself. Maybe I should back up a little. Stephen & I went to Pocky on Wed. While we were waiting for the Verizon guy to get done with another customer we roamed the mall. Ended up in a jewelery store & I got to try on rings!! It was great! I found on that I just had to keep going back to after trying on several others! It was pretty, kind of simple, and just over all amazing! I really really want it & I hope that is the one Stephen picks out. I don't think I can settle for any other one!! Stephen tried on some too so now I know what he wants. I wish we would have been sized, but oh well. It's such an amazing feeling to find that one person that you should be with. I feel like I have a purpose now, and that's to make him happy. Even though I probably cause him more stress with my grouchiness and my having to have things my way and my need to have things done a certain way, but he loves me all the same! He is staying at Pine Creek for a few days & I hate it! I want him to be home all the time! Him being gone for 2 years is going to kill me! I really don't know what to expect except a lot of missing him & loneliness. I did it for 4 years while in college & missing my family so I'm sure I can handle the 2 years. I don't know why I stayed with Gary as long as I did. He never made me feel this way. He always made me angry & just over all unhappy. I would go through that 50 more times if I had to in order to find Stephen. He is just about as great as that ring! lol.

I started my new job on Monday. It was so freaking hot the first day I almost passed out a few time! Bonnie keeps the temp around 80*! I'm not even joking! I've been wearing skirts & it feels a lot better. I perdy much just file papers all day. It's basic, but keeps me busy. The grandparents are moved into their new house. It is a nice house. It's not the old one, but it will be ok. Well I better get back to work. I'm at Super 8 still for weekends.
