JosalinGoBoom Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Being that I've been posting at least a week at this point. Oops. I'm 24 years old, and putting my life back together. I tended towards letting it pass me by, without a second glance or a how-do-you-do. NOT ANYMORE! I just got my license, and my first car. I have a wonderful boyfriend, who I live with, and a decent job. My job and car will allow me to go back to school for great success! In January I started working in the local hospital's Outpatient Oncology department. I love the patients that I get to work with on a daily basis. It's amazing. However, It's a treatment facility and a doctors office. Doctors offices = Drug Representatives = Free Lunches. Free Lunches = 20lb weight gain in about 6months. I went from about 148, to around 168 at my biggest. I want to be healthy again, I miss taking care of my body, and I promised myself before I'd never let myself gain that much weight again. On a side note, despite what my profile picture may lead you to believe, I am not a fan of snakes. In fact, had you been in the room with me while the picture was being taken, you would have seen the fear in my eyes. HOWEVER, I do live with a snake(the one in the picture!) so after 10 months(at that point) of living with her, I took it upon myself to attempt to make friends. It went well enough, and since then, I haven't picked her up. Wow this was longer then I planned! NO MORE AFTER THIS I SWEAR. Seriously! (Edit: Wow, I thought I rambled on much longer then I actually did) Quote || Google + || Facebook || Challenge 1 || Link to comment

JosalinGoBoom Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I suppose I can go on to say that I've been lifting weights for a few weeks now. I'm trying to get settled on a good work out, because as of now I kind of do a cluster(EH-HEM) of things when I go to the gym. I'm down to 163lbs, and have been here for a few weeks, but I am noticing changes. I have my first arm muscles, which is fantastic. My calves are amazing, my thighs are getting so much better. As a lover of anything with sugar in the name, I've turned into someone who says no to cookies more often then I say yes. My bagel for breakfast every morning has turned into eggs with bacon/ham/sausage(which I should probably skip the last one). I like to put feta cheese and spinach in my eggs when I do omelets. It is more difficult when cooking for two, and the second person still wants their carbs. It's a lot of compromise. And as a drinker of beer, I do find that a bit more difficult to give up, but I can't say I don't indulge that love once(or twice) a week. I'm also a lover of parentheses(and don't ask me why, because I'm not too sure myself.) And thanks Loren Wade Quote || Google + || Facebook || Challenge 1 || Link to comment
Kain Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Well then, welcome (aboard). You will have a great time here. Parentheses are one of the sexier punctuations, so I can see why you like them. Glad to see you have decided to kick the carbs to the street. (Also, we have matching vibrams) Quote Time to climb.
