Changing my Life

Lately, I have been feeling a bit down and a bit off. I finally figured out that I am severely unhappy with my current weight. I have always struggled with my weight, but during high school I was also pretty trim, because I played 3 sports a year for six years. Since high school, my activity level has steadily decreased, and it makes it hard to keep weight off.
I have decided to change my life, I have begun doing weight watchers online, eating more fruit and veggies, I have cut soda out completely, and I have started walking as much as possible. I feel great, and I think work is helping me lose weight because I am active almost everyday, not just sitting home and doing nothing.
After two weeks of all this, I have lost six pounds! Now it may not seem like a lot but just seeing the scale and my results makes me feel awesome. I am eating better, exercising, and getting things done. I don't feel as tired, and my feet don't hurt as much after work. I am very proud of myself, and I hope that by writing this down, I can continue to lose weight and get down to my goal weight.
It was time for me to make a change, and I am! If you want to make a change, do it! Join a club, eat better, go for a walk, whatever as long as it's making you happy!
Don't wait ---

Everything Happens For a Reason, I hope!

Just recently, I was turned down for the Teach For America position, that I spent long months applying and preparing for. I can't say that I wasn't disappointed to read the generic "Sorry you did not get it" letter they sent me. It was hard to see my dream of working for Teach For America, and finally being a teacher get dashed, especially with a generic letter. I really had a great feeling about the process, and left the interview feeling like I nailed it. I guess that I didn't impress like I thought I did. I broke down at first from the shock that I didn't get my dream job, and then I cried because I realized how badly I did want it, and how wrong I had been. Later that night I talked to my mom about what had happened, she knew I was upset about missing this opportunity and offered some advice. She said like so many do, "Everything happens for a reason." At first I was annoyed, because I feel that so many people use this logic as a cop-out. But, as...

So Lost...

For so long I have been focused on getting a full time job, and now that I have that I am once again focusing on my future. Questions just keep plaguing me like: "What am I going to be doing in a year?" "Will I go to grad school?" "Will I get a teaching job?" "Will I stay at my current job?" "Will I get another job somewhere?" And now I just can't seem to get these questions out of my head. I feel so lost.  I don't know what to do, where to apply, how to find new opportunities. Ever since I was a little kid, I have been striving for something. Whether it's doing well in sports each season, or getting good grades at the end of the year, getting Top 10 of my class, and then graduating high school, then it was doing well in college, finding a good major, and then graduating. Now that I am done with all that, I am finding that it's hard for me not to feel a little lost, lonely, confused, and without purpose. Once I discove...

Book # 38 Water for Elephants

Thanks to a co-worker who lent me the book, and friends and family that told me how amazing this book was, I finally read, Water for Elephants , by Sara Gruen. I have been hearing rave reviews from friends, family, coworkers, online sites, and other blogs about this book, and I have to say that I agree whole-heartedly. This is a wonderful book about love, life, the circus, and how connected people can become with each other and animals in such a short time. It's a stunning tale of the carnival and circus people of a time long ago, and how their lives revolved around the circus, the performers, the workmen, the animals, and the crowds. I loved all the characters in this book, and it was really interesting going from the past to the present with the main character. The love between Marlena and Jacob is so wonderful, and pure that it's a great part of this book. I also love how involved and invested Jacob becomes with the animals and some people in the circus. It's a tale of...
