Changes

I'm just realizing that I've been making all sorts of changes lately. Wondering if it has to do with turning 30 last December? I don't feel much different, but maybe there's something underlying that pushing me to move forward. That's a plus of getting a little older, I suppose.

Let's see...what have I changed in the last 6 months? New haircut & color, new cat, new paint in one room, new curtains in 2 rooms, occasionally try to eat better, started a blog, stopped biting my fingernails, and now I've hired a personal trainer. Trying to lose 10 lbs.

I guess that's one pitfall of getting a little older, actually. I used to not have to *try* to do anything regarding my weight. haha! Then suddenly I realized one day that I'd gained 10 lbs. I haven't been particularly *trying* to lose it, either. I'd sorta just given up and didn't really care. But then I realized that I should care. It doesn't make any sense to burn up in the summertime simply because I won't wear shorts for fear someone will see my legs. It also doesn't make sense because I think the older we get, the more apt we are to gain a few as our metabolisms slow. I figured I needed to get back to point A to try to head it all off at the pass. We'll see how that goes... I hate that I actually have to TRY and get in shape. I'm not a big fan of physical exertion. I know, surprise, surprise, right? I also don't like spending my free time doing something I'd rather not do (i.e. the gym). But for now, I'll do it anyway...and maybe after I lose a few pounds, it'll give the motivation I need to continue.

But for now I'll just be here, unable to fully extend my limbs. My trainer hates me I think.
