New Me

For a while now...I've kinda let some things go. I've just gotten lazy. And I've started to notice a difference.

I first started with my room. Since its the place I "live" in it was the first thing I noticed and took care of. Now, it may not be perfect...and I may not make my bed everyday...but it's getting better. At least I don't have piles everywhere making it impossible to do anything in my room.

Next...scripture reading and prayers. I'm really bad at it. Even on the mission. It put me to sleep so fast!! Now its not like I NEVER read or pray...its just sporadic. But now that I'm working in the temple it's become really apparent. I'm working on it. Studying is the harder of the two...praying is getting better.

Third...ME. Anyone that works at a place where all you wear is scrubs knows that you unintentionally let yourself go...I call it scrub fat. And I've been unwilling to accept it or act upon it. Until now. It's starting to REALLY show! Up until now it was just this "I'm not worried about it" kind of deal. Yet, I still ate whatever I wanted...not a good thing.

Yes, I know these pics are the classic bathroom mirror pics...I didn't have any other way to do them since I was home alone. But it's gotten bad!

So along with being a work-a-holic, I've decided to become a workout-a-holic as well..might as well erase what little of a social life I already have anyway.

Plus, I firmly believe that by the end of the summer I can look like this girl...it'll just take some effort :) I'll keep you updated on the full plan!

For the record...you look better than I do, and that is the truth! But good for you!! I totally hear you on the letting yourself go part. It can be so easy!! Glad to hear that your job, temple work, and everything else is going well :)
