I worked out today! That is two times this week already. I worked out Monday and Wednesday. I am on track to work out 3 times. I think I am scheduled to work out tomorrow but I dont know for sure.
I did an "abs and arms" class today but it was a whole body workout. We did legs also. It was pretty intense but I really liked it. I think I am going to do that class regularly if possible.
I think I am going to need a nap today though. Getting up to work out and then class til 10 is killer without a nap.
well thats all for now.

How am I doing with my resolutions
Well a month of the new year has already passed, crazy. I look back and am not seeing a whole lot of my resolutions done or worked on, but what is important is that I am not giving up.
recap of goals from post: "I want to lose weight. Be more patient. Be more positive. Be more productive."
Well my husband and I did get a membership at a gym and I went for about a week and a half and then have not gone. But on a positive note I have only missed a week. I am starting up again this week. When I was going I think I did lose a couple lbs but I feel like I got them back the week I stopped. I am going to go 3 times this week and every week thereafter.
Hmmm more patient. Not so sure I have had much success on that one. I need to separate myself from the situation more I think. I also think if I pray about it more that will hugely help, so I am also going to start doing that.
More positive. I really think I am doing better at that. The previous post kinda expounded on that and what I want to do.
More productive. It has kinda been on and off this last month. It definitely needs work. Last night I put a weekly schedule together with hourly spots so we can see when exactly we have things to do and when we have time that we need to be doing more. A few things I have scheduled is work out time, school of course, and pumping. Pumping is for breastfeeding. May seem like a weird thing that shouldn't mean much but that will really help out when it come to having milk ready for my daughter, and getting in bed earlier which enables me to sleep better and get up early. Which gives me a good start to my day.
It seems like I also said somethings about scriptures and praying in my resolution but if I didn't I should have. I have not been real good this last month but I am going to be. I am going to consciously remember and do.
Thats all for now.

No One is Perfect
Recently I heard an opinion of me and it got me thinking. I heard that another girl thought I was some kind of saintly perfect woman. I was astonished and wondered how she could ever think that. I am very very far from perfect and never think too highly of myself. But it made me realize how much everyone judges so quickly and how things are not always what they seem to be.
I have had very little interaction with this girl and yet she thinks so highly of me. I find that I think we, or maybe just I, tend to think the best of others and the worst of ourselves. "She" is better in this or that way seems to be what I do or hear. Or the other side is common among girls, putting girls down and putting themselves above others so they can feel better about themselves.
I would like to not put others downs and not put myself down. Just be positive, complement, and be happy. Especially to other girls. It seems that often times being shy is seen as being stuck up, people often think I am stuck up because I dont talk to them, but it is because I am shy. So I want to and am going to start putting myself out their, being positive, full of compliment (not to the point of fake though, real and sincere), and smile.
I would also like to try to get to know girls more. I seem to be content in my own little lonely world most the time and then when I am not content I just complain that I have no friends, I know silly right? So I am going to put myself out their and reach out to others, see how they are doing and be kind.
Yesterday there was a talk about service and how just the littlest things can make a difference in peoples lives. I am glad that this person brought up this very true concept. It made me think of how the littlest things have made me feel good. A girl at school asks me my name and it makes me feel good the rest of the night, she cared to know my name was all but that little bit of caring goes a long ways. I even went home and told my husband that I met someone. May sound weird, dorky, cheesy, whatever, but its true. A girl at church noticed I tried to look good yesterday and she complimented me, and it made all the difference for me. She not only noticed me (much of the time I feel unseen) but she noticed I tried to look like I got ready for church.
Little things make HUGE difference. So I want to be a person to lift people up and make them feel good about themselves. I want to compliment others, be kind and happy. I have a hard time complimenting others, not because I dont see anything to compliment but because I find it awkward. I think this is because I have a hard time complimenting myself. Kinda one of those if you cant love yourself you cant love others type of thing. So in accordance to all these other goals I need to not only think positive about others but also myself.
Ok long post. But to some it up. I am going to be positive, happy, complimentary to myself and other. I am so grateful for people who are such great examples to me of this. I am very far from perfect and everyone is and its ok. Life is good!
