I Just Want To Be Healthy

I have noticed that lately my days seem to totally run together. I used to always have something exciting or at least entertaining to talk about... but when you do pretty much the same thing every single day it all kinda blends together. The only thing really of note I even can think of to tell ya'll about is this: The other day I was writing a little journal entry/note to myself. I have had health problems in the past dealing with my insulin. I was diagnosed with insulin resistance which is pretty much the step before insulin dependent diabetes. I was able to lose some weight and get mine into regression so I didn't have to be on medication for it any more. Well, the last year or so has just been one crazy thing after another and needless to say I have gained back all the weight that I lost plus a few pounds (of course). I have just been feeling really crappy lately, having problems with my body hurting all the time, feeling so tired yet not being able to sleep... pretty much the same things that were huge signs the first time around. That with the weight gain that has happened much to rapidly for it to be just inactivity. Anyway, I decided to go have some tests run and see what, if anything was going on. I got my results back the other day and it would seem that I am back in that red zone for insulin resistance. I have to go back on medication and try and get things under control once more. Anyway, this little note to myself basically consisted of me yelling at myself for being so careless with my health and letting myself go, once more... even though honestly some of it was nothing that I could control... its still easier to blame myself. Anyway, I decided that I am going to completely change my outlook and my habits where my health is concerned. I AM going to lose weight... and this time it will be for good. So if over the course of the next few months I mention my success or challenges where my weight is concerned, at least consider this my warning to you all... Wish me Luck!

New Adventures for All!

I know I said I would be better about writing but... life happens. On the plus side, me not writing implies that I have been way to busy to bother with such mundane things.... which in fact is the truth. My job is going well. I have been working a crazy amount of hours... which honestly I don't mind. I am feeling pretty good about where I am at in life. I am no where near where I want to be but at least I'm in a better place than I was. I know for the most part anyone who reads this has no idea what I'm talking about but oh well.
Exciting news! My little brother will be finishing up his LDS Mission in about 3 weeks. I"m super excited to see him. Haven't seen him for two years and was actually out of the country when he left... so my goodbye was over the phone.... (which by the way cost me like 40 US bucks for a 10 min phone call... I'm not bitter though ;)...) It will be good to have him back home... even though his home now is different than when he left since we lived in Richmond UT at the time and are now in St. George UT. New adventures for all. It will be fabulous! Anyway, just needed to drop a line... fulfill my blogging duties. Peace Out Holmes!
