Week whatever...

Sorry, I have no idea what week it was and I don't want to look right now... Haha, oh my laziness! Speaking of lazy, I went back to WW this week... and gained 1.2 lbs. I really need to quit taking the weekends off! I am definitely getting my work outs in with all the walking I'm doing on campus though.

Speaking of which, school started again this week. It has been worse than I thought... I drove home crying on Tuesday (school started on Monday) and by Wednesday I was wondering if I could change my mind and get my money back. Going back to school is a lot like moving out of state, in that it won't solve all of your problems. But I have one class I'm kind of excited about: my human development class. It involves a lot of health promotion! SCORE! For those of you that don't remember (or were never aware), my degree is in Health Promotion and Education. I'm already behind in my reading though... :( This could be a long semester...

Week Forty-five

I'm a day later posting because I drove home from Colorado yesterday and ended up having a fever last night... I NEVER get fevers but I could definitely tell that I had one, even before the thermometer confirmed it. When I woke up this morning, I no longer had a fever but still didn't feel great. I went to work anyway due to the fact that I had the last two days off from work and am going part time next week... I need the money! 

Anyway, week forty-five I lost 0.6 pounds. Not quite to my goal yet, but oh so close!!! Hopefully really soon... I would like to be able to stop paying for it.  And reaching my goal will be awesome... 

Visiting Colorado was AWESOME but a bit odd... I kept thinking "I can just go home" and then had to remind myself that I didn't live there anymore. And truth be told, I'm glad. I have moments from time to time when I wonder if I would have done things differently or made better choices, maybe things would have worked out and I could still be living there... But after visiting again, I'm glad I don't live there anymore. I learned a lot while living there and I don't think I'd change it but I'm grateful to no longer be living there. Visiting is awesome though and I still have several things on my list I still need to complete. 

Here are some pics:

I was able to do a session in the Denver temple on Friday and it is BEAUTIFUL! One of the prettiest temples I've seen!

With Mike, Amanda, and one of Amanda's friends in Fort Collins on Friday night. They somehow talked me into doing a "V is for VISTA" pose...

With Amanda and Sophie at a barbecue in Denver on Saturday night.

We decided the above self-taken photo was not good enough so had someone take this one: (although I think the one above is pretty cute)

Amanda and I went on a brief (we figured it was maybe 6 miles round trip) hike in Northern Colorado. I believe this was called Horsetooth Reservoir. If you look at the top of the mountains, you can see some High Park fire devastation...

Weeks Forty-three and Forty-four

I have been seriously slacking on posting lately and I don't have a photo this time either. Sorry. But there is good news! Week forty-three my weight stayed the same and this past week I lost two pounds! That puts me four pounds away from my goal! YAY! Also, this weekend I am heading to Colorado for a brief vacation. I am in definite need of a reprieve! WAY too much drama going on around here at the moment... (I haven't found a sub for the temple yet though, so cross your fingers that I can find one)

I also decided to stay working at my job even after school starts, but extremely part time. I will still go in at 6:30 but have to be off by 9:00. I'm going to continue to look for a job on campus though, and hope to be able to leave at some point in the near future. I'm actually really excited to go back to school! I'm sure once all the homework hits I'll change my tune but I'm ready to move forward in my life. I had a dream the other night that somebody sent me a text message that said "your life is about to get a lot better" and I believe that's true. So it's bound to be right if I believe it. Today I'm choosing optimism. And that's always helpful!
