I'm in Wautoma Wisconsin living with the family again. Its been 2 years since I've lived at home for more than a few weeks at a time. So I'm really happy to be home. But this summer will not be a walk in the park. I'm working 3 different jobs.
1. I'm working at a grocery store called Stone Ridge as a cashier. It's quite entertaining. Tuesday's are seniors day. Which means I get to make old people really happy all day long.
2. I'm cleaning lake houses for Detjen's Deluxe Rentals on the weekends.
3. Finally I'm working for my cousin Misty on my time off of the other two jobs. I'm just running around and doing whatever it is that she needs to get done.
In this first week that I've been home, I've done about 12 hours of gardening. I haven't ever really done a lot of gardening, but I really enjoyed it. I cant wait to have a house of my own where I can put a bunch of flower beds in.
Oh being home makes me not want to eat healthy. I'm home I just want to eat all the good food my mom is making. But I really do need to buckle down and resist the temptation.
I've also got to get back onthe ball in terms of my exercising. I've been leisurely bike riding, kayaking, walking. I've gotta get my cardio going.
I'm happy to be home and very appreciative of all the work I've got.
:) Hurray for SUMMER!!!! :)

Finally at the end of this long semester...
"If you're going down in inches then we know we're on the right track no matter what that scale says." some guy on the MTV show called "I used to be fat". Yes, I watch all the weight loss shows out there just to keep myself motivated. It makes me feel like I can do it if I see people who are even more off then me do it. so what this guy said makes some sense because I'm gaining muscle when i work out and muscle weighs more than fat so when I see the numbers not go down like I want them to I should be turning to the measurements. I haven't actually measured in that way, so I'm going to be doing so for the summer.
It's coming to the end of the semester and there is of course a lot to get done.

- 1 paper
- 20 journals OM2
- 2 make up quizzes
- 1 presentation
- 3 finals
- packing
- cleaning
- signing out
- still working
Thankfully, I had a great Easter break and was able to get a bunch of stuff done. I actually had one of the most productive 24 hours of my life over this break. I packed everything I own except the clothes that I need for this week and next week. I cleaned the kitchen, my room, the bathroom and the living room. I also did the missing journals for microeconomics. It was just lots done and then I got to relax a bit.
So as this semester comes to an end I'm really looking forward to this summer. I'm going to be living in Wautoma, WI with my parents. I'll be working at Stone Ridge (grocery store) as well as cleaning cabins for Detjen's Delux Rentals and then whatever else comes up. I'm excited to be spending the summer with family. Even though I've been out of the house for about 2 years now, I still miss being with my family very much. I think I will always be a home body. I'm also really excited about continuing my weight loss over the summer. I think it will be helpful to have my family there as a strong support system. So i bid you all adieu as i work on my last homework...

19/24 Hours
Monday, April 11, 2011
5:30am wake up and get dressed for work
6:00-9:00 Work
10:00 Chapel
11:00-1:00 Work again
1:00-3:00 Homework
3:00-7:15 Work one more time
7:30-8:40 Workout at the gym
9:00-12:00 Dishes, cleaned bathroom, homework, watched Big Bang Theory
12:30 climbed into bed...sleepy time...
Let's just say that my Monday was very busy and productive. It was one of my most productive days in a while. I got homework done....i cleaned at my apartment..I made some extra money by picking up other shifts. The hardest thing was choosing to go the gym even though I had been on my feet for like 10hours already that day. But once I actually got in there and started working out, I actually felt relaxed. I was glad to be doing something other than work and thinking hard about homework. It was a nice release of stress. I'd rather not do another 19hr day any time soon, but I loved having so much success in one day. :)

Evidently I have a look that makes people (Julia) want to smack me...
That's not what this post is going to be about..but Julia keeps telling me that I'm giving her a look that makes her want to smack me.
This last few days have been very exciting. I went roller skating with all the people from food service that I work with...It was a pretty good work out. Just skating in circles..it's fun...Then I went again last night for Kalie's Birthday. I didn't fall at all, but somehow I still got a bruise on my leg...Julia tried to hit me in the leg when I showed her. :(
This is Julia, Kalie, Megan, and Melody's birthday week...very full...everyone will now be beating teen pregnancy, and I'm really proud of each and every one of them. :) i just had a twitch in my eye..
I've lost 27lbs in all now..I'm happy with my weight loss..I want to do it slow enough that it really is a life style change and not just one time drop all this weight and then gain it all back. I'm also afraid of having all that loose skin like on biggest loser...haha...is that a legit fear? I hope so...cause I do really think about it all the time.
This coming week I have a bunch papers and tests and what not to get done..so its going to be busy...:)

Real Girls Aren't Perfect. Perfect Girls Aren't Real.
Now more and more I'm realizing how unimportant it is that I'm perfect. I don't have to be thin or healthy. I don't have to be wonderful at everything I do. I don't have to be perfect. Everyone's vision of what "perfect" looks like is different. I want to be striving to be the best version of me. Christ is perfect. Christ is perfect in me. It doesn't matter what the world thinks perfect should be, because they'll see Christs perfection through me. What does that look like? I don't know...but I think that it's a truth that I need to live by.
As for my weight loss journey...
I've been watching some Biggest Loser and there's this guy who said that his struggle was night time. It was when he would go astray with his food habits. He wouldn't get enough sleep and that added to the stresses in life. So he was suddenly sinking into a whole and downward cycle. So then during the day when he would work out and eat healthy, it was worth nothing because he was ruining it every night. I struggle with this. I have healthy food, but if I just keep eating it then its no longer healthy for me. I also don't exactly sleep a lot when I should. So these are things that I need to change.
Its so hard to be making all these changes and keep up with everything else that's around me. I don't in any way want to stop striving to lose weight, but because this is the last month of the semester, it isn't going to be a little bit lower on my priority list. God gives me my every breath and my every day. I'm going to be focusing on my studies and work. I need to up my GPA, so this is really where my priorities need to lie. So I'm still going to be working out, but I wont be making as much of my own food. It really does consume a lot of my time. The library and I are goign to be working on our relationship. We'll be spending a lot of time together for the next few weeks. So if you can find me...thats where I'll probably be.
