I'm ooooooold!!!

I'm officially twenty-nine..

The last year of my 20s.. I have the whole year ahead of me..

I'm sooooo old!

Oh well.. watching Bridezillas... and I gotta get some crazy homework done..

Ugh.. time.. time.. time..

The gain..

How does one expect to lose weight when there's food.. food.. food.. around me.. all.. the.. time?!

I'm finishing up week 2 at the new job.. and I'm still adjusting to the whole work/school balance.. it's been hard to find treadmill time..

I had Cursillo weekend this past weekend.. there's more food there..

I feel like I've gained at least.. AT LEAST.. 5 lbs in the last two weeks..

Not good.. not good at all..

I need to flush this out with a lot of water.. and some activity..

I try not to eat too much when I get home either..

I just feel like I'm eating and eating.. especially since the workplace just remembered that my birthday is on Sunday.. and now we have pecan pie!

Yikes!

I'm also starting to eat breakfast because my schedule makes me hungry in the mornings...

Good thing I'm only working 3xs a week..

If time permits.. I can use those other days to work out.. and once life calms down into more of a routine.. I'll be able to find ways to eat less..

I'm already learning to save money.. now.. I gotta learn how to balance out my diet!

I'm on fire!

Yesterday was the end of another Cursillo three-day weekend.. and I'm on fire.. once again..

It's such a beautiful thing.. to watch the ladies come in apprehensive.. and walk out of there completely enthusiastic and so happy they went on the weekend..

It's so inspiring and makes all the hard work and preparation worth it all..

Every year it reminds me of all the things I want to do.. and all the things that I have let slip..

But life is great.. and there are blessings abound..

I'm exhausted.. yet ecstatic.. DE COLORES!

Special songs..

I'm sitting here on the last hour and a half of my second 12hr work day of the week.. and I'm just sitting here and contemplating about music.. songs and lyrics..

There's one song that comes into mind right now.. probably because I just finished blaring it from my iTunes at work..

"For the first time" sung in the musical rendition of Disney's Tarzan.

It's such a beautiful song.. about falling in love for the first time.. it's such a wonderful song..

And although I know that have seemed to have fallen in love several times in my life.. each time always feels like the first time.. I guess its because the people are always so different from each other and I have found so many different reasons to fall in love with a man..

Each relationship has it's ups and downs.. each relationship has it's lessons to be learned..

And with Joe.. it's different once again.. I feel that we really took our time to fall in love.. and the fact that we didn't rush it makes it feel so much more worth it to know how long it took to appreciate it..

Still praying...
