So...about a week and a half ago, Angela and I started working out. That Saturday we decided that we were gonna workout everyday of the week, Monday thru Friday. Well, we worked out Saturday and Monday and then we both got busy. So, yesterday marked our first day of a gruesome workout schedule. Holy cow, am I sore! Anyways, I didn't get on blogger today to complain about how sore I am from working out. I got on here to address the fact that I know I am thin. I have always been thin and I think being active in sports really kept me as thin as I am. So here I am now, 21 and married. My job consists of me sitting on my butt for about 4 hours, going to lunch to eat a fatty meal with a coke, and sitting on my butt for about 4 more hours. 10 more years of this will definitely start showing on my physique...it already has. So when people come to me and tell me I don't need to workout, I could sit and argue with them for hours about how I am not happy with my body and how even the thinnest of people need to stay fit to stay healthy. So, I beg that people just leave me alone so that I don't have to feel guilty for being happy with the way I look.
On to another note. This last weekend, Justin and I took the 5 hour drive to Wichita, Kansas. I lived in Wichita several years ago and was devastated when mom told us we were moving. I have now lived in NWA for 10 years...and love it! It's probably the best thing that has ever happened to my family and I. Well last weekend, I decided it's probably time to go back and visit a whole different side of the family--my biological dad and his family. Well, we stayed with my Aunt and Uncle who we have been in touch with since last summer and they are so great! They were so welcoming and my aunt even cooked us breakfast which apparently she never does. :) Anyway--I have not seen my father in 5 years. Wow. It was time that Justin met the other half of my creation. Obviously, since I hadn't seen him in 5 years, visiting him was not at the top of my priority list...needless to say, I was a little nervous about this encounter. In the end, all was well and everyone got along...one big, happy family! It made me so happy because now I am comfortable enough to visit more often. Even though my dad and I had a spurt where we weren't talking, and with reason, it's never good to not communicate because you never nkow what could happen, right? And I can't give my Aunt and Uncle and cousins enough credit for their hospitality and open arms and I can't wait to see them again! So--here's to a new and happy beginning!

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I read your blog all the time, I just can't think of comments sometimes. It has nothing to do with you, it's just my brain. It's old. Forgive me! :0)
Okay...so I was about to write a blog about this the other day. Where do people get off on the idea that people smaller than them aren't allowed to get healthy and work out? It's the most aggravating thing to me! Heaven forbid if we talk to someone 10-20 lbs heavier than us about working out. You would think you were talking to someone in prison about being free. Anyways, this drives me crazy. It's like we have to keep it a secret that we are getting in shape and developing healthy habits. OOHH NOOO haha.
Aneisa! Haha you are so sweet! Thanks for reading! I mostly just write to get my thoughts off my chest because I vent everything to Justin and Angela and I feel like my frustrations are getting out to the people they should be getting out to.
Angela--fricken tell me about it! Haha
