10 on Tuesday

I haven't done one of these in a minute!

1.  I am currently obsessed with/distracted by the moon.

2.  I'm seriously considering a marathon this year.  More specifically...the St George marathon.  It's a lottery, so I may not even get picked, and if I did I'd have to train through the summer here, which is completely insane/grotesque.  Would it be worth it?  Hmmmm....

3.  I have completed 5 weeks of the Jillian Michaels "experiment" of sorts I started and have noticed huge differences in my body.  I feel way stronger and way more energetic.  I'm eating healthier foods and absolutely loving how I feel!  I've lost 4 lbs so far, 3 inches off my waist, and 1.5 inches off my hips.  I still have more to go, but I'm off to a good start!  I love/hate Jillian Michaels, but the "B" works!

4.  I've decided I'm intrigued by/drawn to the nerdy types lately.  Don't ask me why

5.  I absolutely love my brothers and had a super fun time with the family in Midway this past weekend for Michael and Laci's graduations.  Seriously, how did I get so lucky to get 4??

6.  My uncle gave a really great talk in church a week ago and it's impacted me in a really thought-provoking way.  Just a little self-eval going on!  nbd.  He basically asked if you were being put on trial as being a Mormon, would there be enough evidence, outside of your 3 hour Sunday block, to convict you as such?  Really great talk!

7.  I have no idea what I'm doing with my life, where I'm going, or why I am where I am right now.  BUT...I know that there's always a reason for it and even if I can't see it now, I will someday and I'll understand why everything goes down the way it does.  All the waiting will be worth it, and at least I always get to be happy!  I've decided to not stress about making plans, and just to make good choices as they come.  I know I can do whatever I set my mind to.

8.  Joni had her beautiful little Lyla Adele this weekend, and I finally got to see her tonight.  She is a dream!  I'm so happy for Joni and her little family!

9.  Kids are a lot more insightful than I give them credit for.  They remember a lot too!

10.  How does one become a morning worker-outer?  There was once a time when I saw the inside of a gym at 5:30am, but that was eons ago!  I have such a hard time getting out of bed and being a morning person, but it really is so much better time-wise to work out in the mornings.

ps right after we finished insanity last year we did jillian for a few days and quit because it was too easy, so you know what you need to do next!
