The Record is Broken

Today was a great day,
work was good, and then afterwards I went and got my hair colored and cut, totally awesome, It feels and looks so good. Im always so shy about my tresses when I go to the hairdresser cuz I usually wait till my hair is pretty cruddy before I go, but she did say my hair was pretty healthy so I was like Thank you! I haven't taken pictures of it to put on here, but its dark! the color was called mocha I think, its super dark brown and when its in the light its all coppery.
After that I went to the gym, and as much as I didn't wanna get all sweaty with my doo, I was like I think its time I give my goal a go. So with my new brown locks, a lil prayer, 2 chocolate eggs for my poor hungry tummy, and no water haha, and cranked music, I ran and ran and ran and ran.. and ran somemore, 5 minutes came and went, then 10.... then 13...then 17...then 20....at this point my body was starting to feel hardcore suckish,..then 22...now my ribs felt like they were cracking...then 25.. my old record.. whoo!...then 29...1 minute left...30! this is when i was like WHOO!!! after that I had the hugest burst of energy. So I ran till 31.5 minutes.. my new bright and shining record, thats all i wanted to get too. 3.2 MILES! I was so flipping proud of myself, it doesn't seem like very far in someways, but when I think that i ran that., no slowing down and walking when it got tough, Im super happy. and thats the story of my reached goal, 3 miles,1/2 an hour, 400 Calories.
In other news, I have 3 days left at daycare, and unlike the last time I quit, Im pretty sad about it this time, I think cuz Im super attached to some of my lil bubs there, and it'll be hard leaving, and knowing that the next time I see them, if that even happens, they probably wont even remember who I am. Sucks. I hope it'll work out that I can come back and work a day here or there if Id ever have a day off with nannying.
5 days till the move, I've now figured that Im not gonna move till Sunday, pretty much Im procrastinating, Im gonna do all my packing and organizing on Saturday and then go Sunday. I think that should work out nicely. Im still a lil mleh about the move, but I think Im gonna be ok.

My Mom and Dad

I know its kinda clique to say that you have the best parents etc, and Im not gonna force it on you this time around either, because I know most people claim to have the best parents, and thats good, its how it should be.
I do however believe that I do have amazing parents, and these are my words for them. I think they have done a stellor job raising me and my sisters, and I want to parent my kids the way I was parented, cuz I figure I turned out pretty good.

I claim to be a daddy's girl, my dads my best man for always. He's my bestest guy friend. I can think of so many times growing up that my dad was there for me when I needed someone to talk to. Im not scared to tell him anything, Im pretty sure he knows about every crush I ever had, he always knows who to bug me about. Dad knows me well, we're alot alike in the way that we think about somethings, and therefore have mutual understandings about stuff. My dad works hard, which is something Im hoping to inherit yet.. when he does something he does it right and good the first time around, none of this half effort stuff, its either done, or not done. Im hoping to inherit that as well. Sitting here in my bed, I look around my room and I see my dresser and bedside table and they are both something that he's built or fixed up, just the way I wanted them. I see my shelves that he put up, and I see my roses that I got for Valentines from him, and my valentines card that he wrote in so specially. Dad sacrafices.. he comes home from work wicked tired, but when we need him to do something for us yet, he often will. Like today my mattress came in from Sears((oo so exciting!!) and so as soon as he walked in I was like Dad we gotta go pick up my mattress, and I dont think he was too excited about it but he did it still. Once again he made sure it was done right, none of this winging it and just hoping it wont fall apart. Oh and did I mention that Dad helped me pick out this grand ol mattress, and also is financially supporting it? Dad always gets the firewood, I notice it all the time, he comes in, and asks if theres firewood, and then he always goes and gets it, its something that any of the rest of us could do, but he does it, everyday. Dad dances with me on Sunday afternoons, he's my financial advisor, and my co-hockey watcherer. He's my car teacher, he's my support, and encourager, he's my comedy, he's my moms husband, he's my venting ears, he's my father, and he's my daddy; and he is a good man.

I came home today from picking up the beloved mattress, and my mom took me to the side and led me to my room, and on my bed was bags full of kitchen stuff. Pots and pans, a mixer, glasses,measuring spoons and cup, spatualas, and flipper things, a knife, a recipie book, tea towels and dish cloths, containers etc. Pretty much it was like Christmas all over again. Happy Showers! my mom is amazing, I know this was part of her whole tradition of when we move out she'll buy us the first groceries type thing, but I didn't expect this much, she just goes all out. My mom is the most generous person, I hope to inherit this from her yet, She gives so much to us girls, so much support, so much encouragment, in everything ive ever done Mom backs me up on it 100%. She's my biggest fan, and I can always spill my heart out to her. I dont remember her having ever lost her temper at me, she is a wonderful woman of God, and always does her best for her family.Even when she's not feeling well, she'll still try to make the home nice for us. Mom is a peacemaker, she doesn't like conflict-this IS something I have inherited from her. She doesn't fight people. She's not rude. She's super patient. She loves. She does what she can always to help. She works hard. She's my friend. She's my mom.

I love you both so incredibly much, I'll miss coming home to you everyday after work, but the weekends will always come already.

A very detailed report of me getting stuck for the first time this winter

Yesterday morning I woke up about 5 minutes before I needed to BE at work; so going into panic mode I called work and said, I slept in, I'll be late. Then I tried to get to work, I didn't make it very far before I realized that I was probably not gonna make it all the way down my road even, and I knew I wouldn't be able to turn around either..and then I was done realizing and just got real good and stuck in the middle of the road. So I called my boss and said "Im stuck in the middle of my road right now, I dont think Im gonna make it unless the snow plow comes through, and once I shovel my way back home.." So I shovelled, and for once I was very glad I had left a bunch of stuff in my car cuz there was a wicked wind and it was down right freezing out there, and sure enough I pulled out some skipants and a toque. After much shovelling, I decided I needed a plan, cuz I wasn't gonna shovel the whole mile back to my house. I had a very smart realization. The wind was blowing really hard making the snow on the one side of the road alot shallower.. so I figured if I could get over to the other side of the road I could back my way home. God said"this idea is good" and therefore I made it to the other side of the road and began backing down the very edge of the road, one wrong move meant I was in the ditch, This worked for quite a ways, but then the grass line that i was using as a "do not cross or your in the ditch" disappeared and it didn't take long and I was dipping into the ditch stuck once again, At this point my sister and my aunt came walking down the road and helped me shovel and push myself out. Then I backed the rest of the way home. The End. As much as I hoped not to get stuck this winter, seeing it was March and I still had a clean record, it was kinda inevitable. The snow plow never came, so I had the whole day off from work. To make up for it I went back to Hecla today, helped my mom in the laundry department, I wore better shoes this time and I was fine, I also just wanted to redeem myself for my painful Valentines day. Afterwards Mom Christy and me went swimming in all 5 pools, the mineral one was our personal favorite, my skin feels amazing now. the waterslide is pretty wicked. It was a good way how to cap off the working day. Oh and if you haven't seen the rooms at Hecla.. wow never seen rooms like that before, totally different then your standard hotel room. I really wanna sleep there. well bless your heart if you actually read through this fully detailed report of nothing super interesting. dont forget your daylight savings tonight.

my HUGE update

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile, between just not taking the time, and not having the time, and it not letting me sign in so I just give up, its definetly been awhile since I blogged, and much has happened in the week and a half. So Im just gonna put it in point form and spare some of the details of it all.

Monday, Feb.23rd.
I got a voicemail from one of the moms, confirming that yes I got the job for sure! Its mine if I still want it. I was at work when I got the message, so a couple hours later when I worked up the courage I went into my bosses office and quit my job. {Point of interest: this is the 2nd time I have completly quit my job here, last time it was February 26, 2007. Feb of 2008 I was also on the verge of getting a new job at Hecla. I think my boss should have always been scared when February came around lol, its just funny hows its worked this way.}
None the less my boss took it super well like she always does, I really wouldn't have had to worry about it as much as I did.
I didnt tell my co-workers till this week Monday. I think I surprised them, but most of them are super encouraging about it. So that made it nicer.

I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the city,
Thursday was a mix of shopping, doctors appt, and getting together with friends, Friday and Saturday I went and did 'trial days' at one of the nanny houses, just to get to know their routines and stufff well mom was still around, I think my job there will be just fine. The kids are super cute, and soo good compared to what I deal with at daycare sometimes. I also figured out my route from Alyssa and Stacey's to work, and the drive took me less time then I thought it would so that was really good too.
On Friday, I went and bought a laptop, I think I got a pretty good deal on it, I twisted the guys arm abit, told him I wanted a cheap laptop but not a cruddy one. So far I really like it, its bad for my facebook addiction now cuz now I bring it into bed with me.lol. This is my first blog entry typed on my laptop, tis fun.

Well I think thats all for now. I move to the city in 17 days. which is gonna come so fast, Im already in panic mode, thinking about ALL the things I need/should do before I move. Im thinking Im gonna keep alot of stuff here at home, just so that when I come home on weekends that it still feels like home. Well tata for now. Thanks to whoevers been thinking/prayin for me, I really appreciate it and it definetly helped me make my decision.

Soulmate

I have this song on my mp3 player... and I like it cuz it reflects some of my thoughts. So I thought I'd put the lyrics on here...in case u felt like reading them. I think the song kinda speaks for itself, its by Natasha Bedingfield. enough said.

Incompatible, it don't matter though

'cos someone's bound to hear my cry

Speak out if you do

You're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable

Is already in my life?

Right in front of me

Or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again,

circles never end

How do I find the perfect fit

There's enough for everyone

But I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory

They're all good but not the permanent one

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

My newest gym record..- 2.5 miles, in 25 minutes, the beginnings always hard, and i always do my utmost best to think of anything else then running, and I try not to look at the timer cuz it just drags by. The last couple minutes are always easier then the first 15-20. Im not gonna lie though, Im pretty proud of my body, and how much more in shape it is, not in the sense of being shapely but just in shape. Its good to know that Im not incapable of getting in shape and being able to run more then 10 meters.

So do you reckon a nanny update would be nice?

I said yes, and could potentially be a city girl in just a few weeks. Thats a very loaded sentence; But I wont go into detail today; just pray for me.

I spent Valentines day helping out at Hecla Radisson, with the buffet,serving etc. Long Long story short, Dresscode is all black to shoes.. I had one pair of black shoes, they have heels. I wore them. and worked on my feet for 12 hours, with barely a break. Never have I had pain like that,Even the hot italian chefs couldn't made me feel better. The last hours were excruciating. AGONY. at about 12:30 am, I broke down in the kitchen and started crying cuz I was in so much pain. I dont cry easily. I cried then, and all the way home after I snuck out the back of the kitchen. I drove home in my socks, but it didn't matter even after the shoes were off, it still hurt bad, My feet were totally swelled up, even the next day. I was supposed to go back on Sunday, but I couldn't even walk around my house never mind go do another 12 hour shift. So I didnt.. MY LESSON IS LEARNT.. next time I'll wear runners.. even if it is a 5 star resort. Don't get me wrong though, if it wouldn't have been for my feet. It woulda been a pretty good day!

Tonight I went to visit Sara and her new baby sister Miley, I LOVE newborns... nothing is more precious. Speaking of newborns...

Congratulations to Alex and Nanda of Cooma Australia on the birth of their Valentine baby girl (at least Valentine in Canada)

Olivia Mary

You guys will make awesome parents.

I hope I'll be able to meet her before she's all grown up.

If you want to hear a great labor story, you should hear this gal's I didn't know it was possible to have it that easy and quick on a first baby. Im happy for you Nanda :)

In other news.. I never mentioned it yet on here. But 2 of my best friends have big special days coming up this summer, and Im so happy for them.

Congratulations Sophia, your gonna make a wonderful wife for Nolan. I hope you'll have a very wonderful life together. Im super honored to be your bridesmaid, and super excited about the dresses, cuz they are beautiful.

Congratulations Krista!, I know you waited for that ring for a long time, and Im so happy it happened for you finally. Your gonna be a hot bride! Sams a lucky lucky man. I love ya!

I ain't gonna lie, I got some super amazing friends, My life had been blessed by them so many times over.

The highlight of my week? Getting a huge inflatable life like kangaroo in the mail from Australia. Makes me smile everytime I look at it, and I drag it around the house with me, Im thinking I should cruise around with it in my passenter seat, that'd be funny.Thanks again Chicken.

who knew it could be so hard to utter one word?

so maybe I'll say yes

My cat ate my Moms Budgie

Today it rained in my favor, I know it sucked for the 1000's of Manitobans that hit the ditch and each other and the ground because of the ice, but for me, for today, I needed it. I called into work and said I didnt' want to try driving on this, and that was ok with the boss, so I promtly put myself back to bed and slept soundly till noon, and had a dream about all my Australian friends coming to visit me here.

This weekend was my big family gathering weekend, which was sweet. I really love my extended family, on both sides. This was my Barkman side. I did lots of chatting with my uncles and aunts about "my decision-making" which made me look at a few new angles of it all; but all in all made my decision that much heavier, so just when I thought I knew what I was gonna do, Im back to square 2. I still have a few days left to think about it, but how much thinking about something can you do? I want the job, no question there, I'd love the job. I know that. I'd also already convinced myself that being a city girl would be alright. I love the idea of being closer to more of my friends. So what is my problem you ask?

A. Taxes.

B. My future dreams.

These were the 2 things that were brought up this weekend. My uncles and aunts know me well. and the first thing that my uncle asked me when I mentioned that I was thinking about coming to the city was.

"What about Australia?"

I think everyone who knows me really well.. knows how badly I want to go back. Theres a small possibility that somehow it could still happen if I were a nanny... but it just seems quite unlikely, and that scares me, cuz its important to me. did I ever mention that I've thought about just up and moving there..being an aupair..

Moving across the world seems less scary to me then moving to Winnipeg.. funny how that works. Ignorance is pure bliss thats all I can say.

Then we were talking about going back to school.

What do I want to do when I grow up?

I wanna be a flight attendant, preferbly on West Jet. Then I can fly all the time, and work in the place I love the most. Which is the sky.

or a Photographer.

Moving to the city to be a nanny, although Im sure I would actually love it, is a big commitment, and commitments are not a bad thing, but it would make me a "settled down" person, cuz I wouldn't be able to up and do things like I could right now.Cuz after making all my payments I probably wouldn't have much left, and then where are you getting to? Buying a car made me partly a settled down person, cuz it limited how much of my paycheck i could actually save. But it doesn't stop me completly, it slows me down but doesnt stop me. People always tell me.."Do things while you can, while your young, while your single" the last one I hear alot.. "its ok to be single, you can do so much." and I want to do things, I want to make the most of these first years outta highschool, cuz its where Im gonna some of my biggest lifelong memories. So sometimes having a job that I dont love all that much.. seems to be an ok sacrafice cuz my boss is good about letting me go to camp and travel.

But like I was telling my mom earlier today.."I really want this nanny job"

ahh Im in such a pickle I just dont even know what to do. I could talk it in circles for ages. So i'll talk about something else now. Like this weekend.. heres some pictures:

Bloody Knuckles, is what I call this game now. See how small this air hockey table is? Do you think I can stay on my side of the red line. AH NO, I jam and hack until I score.. the result?

a very sore bruised and bleeding and hurting so much I can't even straighten it out hand. that sore may look small but it bled like a sucker

It even made playing Dutch Blitz a lil hard. My auntie Bonnie is Queen of this game.

Theres a rule of NO DIVING..which sucked.. so instead we "Jumped Creativly" On the left is Christy, my syncronized jumping partner, and Im on the right. we don't look very syncronized in this picture, but she did do the splits too, and then we came together for a pencil dive. 2012 Olympics here we come!

We played lots of Rock Band too.

Cross Country Skiing down onto the lake was one of the biggest hits of the weekend. The mojority of the family had never gone CCskiing before and out of the 15 or so of us that went at least 13 of us had wicked wipeouts. Good times though, and how cool is it that the same lake that we can ski on in summer, we can also ski on in winter. I wasn't able to get over this frozen wave so I said that I was just gonna lay there until spring when the water melts and swim in.

2010 Olympics here I come!

HY Yi Yi YI YI Ya!

Gym Update- Its been a month since I signed up, I've gone 20ish times, averaging abouts an hour each time. I'm up to 16 minutes running on the tready,(meaning running without walking) but that number changes every couple days cuz last week my record was 8. Its kinda exciting. I haven't lost much.. just a bit. So we'll see how much that changes over the next couple months.

Nanny in Winnipeg Update- this weekend I was in the city, I met "the mothers" as I call them (being the mothers that want a nanny-theres 2 and they are sister-in-laws) They were super nice-no problem there. The next day I got a supper invite to "Meet the Kids" loved them, all 6. they all got personalities, and are super cute. Verdict?!- I'm hired and want the job. Problemo!?!- I dont do amazing with change.. at first I thought Im scared but now I realize Im not really scared, cuz I love trying new things, Change is one problem, cuz this is a big one, and long term, its not just going someplace for awhile and then coming home, its moving, and making a new home. Its moving to a place thats never appealed to me before to move to, as much as I love spending weekends there and stuff, Im a country girl so thru and thru. I like my wide open spaces, and hwys that I can speed on without getting in trouble and black skies with bright stars, and no stop lights and traffic, and fresh air.. and so much of it. and cheaper car insurance and my precious lake that I can see from my house, and beach thats 10 minutes away. A front lawn that I can run half naked around cuz hey we got a thing called "not everybody can see you in your own yard" a huge flower garden that I can pick big massive bouquets from to put in my room. A road I can bike down for ages with the chance of even 1 vehicle going past me quite slim. Ditches I can hit, Mud I can get stuck in, Beaches I can get stuck on, a bank where everyone knows everyone, and half the people there are the mothers to the kids I take care of, and therefore they get to to see how much I get payed to look after their kids.. a lil weird. A hairdresser that I've gone to since I was 10, and knows your whole families history of hair, cuz hey everybody knows everybody and so on and so forth. People know how often you wash your car, and remind you everytime theres a speck of dust on it. Grandparents that live on the farm down the road. All you hear at night in summer is cows mooing in the distance, and frogs croaking, and crickets chirping and foxes barking, and coyotes howling (this is when I shut my window)

This is my country life. and I have 12 days to decide whether or not to give it up. Could it be that I could enjoy living in a city? Could it be that I could get used to it? Could it be that I would appreciate home so much more when I've left it? Could I be ok with rarely seeing my family that Im so tight with? Could I be ok with falling asleep to sirens? Could I be ok with the chances of being able to travel minimized? Could I be ok with this? Could I be ok with any of it? Could I be Okay? Yes I could. cuz if this is what God has in store for me, then its whats gonna happen. Awesome job opportunites don't grow on trees. Having Christian bosses-.. doesn't grow on trees, being able to talk about Jesus with kids without having to watch your back or "feel like your swearing" as Debbie puts it, doesn't grow on trees anymore. So after much much much thinking of this... and many minutes of staying up late at night thinking more, Im coming to my decision, key word is coming. Theres alot to leave behind, right down to my cat Max, and 6 fish.. well maybe they'll be able to come too, if they promise not to die in the city water. hahaha. Final decision yet to come. If your the praying kind, and you read this... plz pray 4 me? and if you want to help me make a decision.. tell me 100 awesome things about living in the city lol. (i've come up with 3...a great job,bunches of my bestest friends live there, apartment with a swimming pool in summer. (that is of course if my Stacey still reckons I can stay under their roof) oh and tell me how much gas you use if you drive across the city twice a day.

p.s i took the pic up top where Bishop is coming onto Pembina..

pps. dont take pics and drive at the same time.

My Ice Trail! ... near completion!!!!!!!!

So tonight was lace up night- figured I'd try skating on this over worked on skating trail, Christy was my inspiration as she managed to get around the whole loop first without falling down. Its a kinda bumpy all over still, but after figuring out how to skate again, it was a good time. feels abit like skiing at times cuz it has a couple hills where u go down and then turn sharp, pretty thrilling!! and so beautiful with the Christmas lights along it. Now I just want everybody to come skating!
I ran just over a mile today without walking.. like literally ran the whole thing,it may not sound all that great, but I've never been able to do that before in my life! not even gym class.. plus I also ran more minutes then i've ever run before today too. 2 records. SAVEEET!!!!! twas a good day today, I feel like an achiever; at least after work. We won't talk about how work went today :S Later blokes and sheilas!!

Sheila... living in Winnipeg?!!?!?! something new

Gym- 3 weeks down.. I haven't lost weight, and I dont look any different. BUT I can sure run longer then I've ever run before in probably my whole life, which is AWESOME! In shape? getting close :D

Today my sweet Jemma from England called me, it was so awesome talking to her, I hadn't talked to her since we were in Australia; so it was super cool catching up. And hey if I feel like going to England, I know I can stay with her. Whoo! my fave line from her in her cute english accent was "We just get rubbish rain here" it was funny how she said it. I dyed Stacey's hair, it turned out good.
Last night I went to see my co-worker Shianna and her brand new baby girl Benna, twas nice, and then I went to the theatre to go see "Australia" all by my lonesome, I took my blanket with me and curled up for the 3 HOUR LONG movie, it was good though, I liked it more then I thought I would, and i didn't go alone cuz I have no friends, I just wanted to go alone, cuz once in awhile I just feel like being a loner lol.
A few days ago, my awesome cousin Jackie said she was thinking about me.. she said she and her friend are having a hard time finding childcare, and was wondering if I ever thought about nannying.. to which I was like well yes I've definetly thought about it. Long story short, she's offering me a job.. IN WINNIPEG, and Im not gonna lie.. Im seriously contemplating it. Its a door, and maybe its one Im supposed to walk through. So i'll keep thinking and praying about it a lil longer, talk to her more about it etc. SO we shall see... It could change alot of things in this year; if I do move out.. it might mean no big trip maybe no camp... which would be :( so pple reading this.. its something u can pray for me about..WHAt shall I DO?!!? its a biggie. well I got an 6:45am shift tomrrow so Im off!

So far so good

So this gym thing is going good, I've gone everyday for 2 weeks, and sometimes I go on my break and then again after work, I ususally spend at least an hour there. For the most part I really enjoy it. Its just nice to know Im finally doing something good for my body, and I find if I have a super frusterating day at work, by the time Im done at the gym I feel alot better mentally as well. Nothing like pounding your day out on a treadmill or punchin it out boxing. Hopefully my motivation will last the 6 monthes. Im definetly heaps more in shape already then I was.. but thats the only thing I've noticed so far. I think I still weigh the same.
Yesterday I went to The Wonderful Wedding Show with Sophia and a bunch of other ladies. It was a good time, definetly a great place to go to get ideas, or if you have nothing planned yet. I shake my head at myself, cuz everything that I saw that I loved costs a million.. I should probably start saving now already.. If its poofy, it sparkles, it shines, its big, its fancy then I love it. Now I have to find the rich lawyer husband.
After the wedding show I went straight to our bcbc staff followup thing at the Brandts, they got a sweet hill, and we went on a hayride, and played killer bunnies.. it was good.

Viewer Discretion is ADVISED!

I didn't make a New Years Resolution this year.. but heres what I did do...

I joined the gym.. PACE in Riverton to be exact.... Im planning on getting whipped into shape and lookin like Barbie by summer, I plan to be a very faithful member-seeing I put all my Christmas money and then some into the membership fee. (Which is gonna be the sole motivater for me to go EVERYDAY) yup yup yup.. Seriously though.. I'm serious about it, mostly Im just wanting to be in shape, cuz I've gotton so super outta shape after highschool. (Plus on my "things I want to do, places I want to go in my life" List, I have GET INTO SHAPE as one. Plus.. it just really wouldn't hurt for me to lose some megga inches.. SO for 6 months, after work EVERDAY (meaning the days I work, so we're talking 5 days a week here) Im gonna be in that place.. working out... Now Im gonna advertise for Pace a lil here and say that they got super cool hydrolic machine things.. heres what happens.. all around the room theres these special 'pace' machines..and you go on each one for 30 seconds.. then you hear this voice say 'next station' so you move to the next thing for another 30 seconds, and for every 30 seconds you just giver as much as ur lil heart can handle. You make 3 loops around the room, which makes it a half hour work out. then you go stretch it out. theres also a treadmill and weights and other stuff that optional on the side of doing the 'pace circuit' Anyway so cuz its only 30 seconds on each thing, it makes it kinda more bearable ya know. So today I went for my first time...im still feeling a lil bit like jello... I think I definetly burnt off every last calorie that i ate today lol.... Im more excited about how it will be in about 3 weeks from now when Im a lil more in shape, I think it'll be more fun then. So ladies and gens... now you've met my 'motivated by spending heaps to do something good for my body' side.

Oh and here are my BEFORE(totally outta shape)and AFTER(being 'in shape') Pictures this is where the 'some scenes are not suitable for all viewers.. VEIWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.'comes in.

before

>

after






perhaps not so extreme.. but I really am planning on getting results by the end of the 6 months.

So whats your New Years Resolution...?
