and so it begins...

i was talking to my mom a week or so ago about weight. it's really time that i do something about this. i've never been "skinny" but i've never been this big and i've never felt so uncomfotable with myself. i don't feel pretty anymore. i want that again. i'm starting to really watch what i'm eating and i'm going to workout as much as i can. there's no reason to stay like this. it's unhealthy... physically and mentally. so it's time to get busy!
jen and i are going to try out a zumba class on monday nights. i'm excited. it looks like a lot of fun. i know it's going to kick my butt... i need it though.
i've set an actual weight-loss goal and everything! i'm not going to give up on this.

on another note... i'm supposed to be writing an essay at the moment... but it's really difficult to get started. it's supposed to be about why i want to be a school teacher. ugh. the answer for that could be summed up in about 3 easy sentences... but no. i have to write a whole essay about it. that's college for ya. writing writing writing.
