Update on Health.
So for those that know, I was recently diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. There is too much in the explanation of what diabetes is, so I won't go into that....but for me I am sure part of it is being overweight (obese, actually) and genetics.
So, Friday I went to see my nutritionist who explained what the disease is and how to, of course, eat better. I am hoping that I can help stablize my blood sugar by losing a significant amount of weight. For now, my final goal is to be 100 pounds. I could go down to around 90 for my height but I don't want to be underweight.
So that is where I am heading next. As much as a lifestyle change as I can make. I hate vegetables and fruits (besides apples and potatoes....and salad when I can stomach it), so I am going to just eat those and whole grains, and try to cut back on sodium and carbs and sugar.
Walking 30 minutes a day which is around 2 miles, uping it as much as I can everyday. Eventually I want to be able to run those miles so I can eventually run a 5k or even a marathon.
After I get back from the camping trip (starts Tuesday) I will add kickboxing, dancing, and various workouts. Hopefully when finances allow, I will also get a wii to add some variety with that.
Once I get comfortable with this, then I will start working on the mental stuff.
I will update here maybe once a week, or so and let everyone know how things are going.

Novel Idea [Three]
Here is the next idea that I have come up with for a novel. I want to be original, and creative but there are so many stories out there, so it is hard sometimes to come up with something that hasn't been done yet. Anyway...I digress...
My story is about a college girl whose life takes a turn down a bad road. In the beginning she was a smart straight A student, and a bright girl who grew up with Christian values. After some time in college, she meets some new people who lead her down the wrong path and end up leaving her stranded.
Can she pick up the broken pieces and fix her life, or is it too late? Tune in for more.
I came up with this story line from past experience, and from stories I have heard from friends and other people.
Thoughts?

Tragic Flaws --
I was listening to a scene from one of my favorite shows; Everwood, and this specific scene got me thinking. Ephram, in this scene is talking about his tragic flaw, and that being the inability to change.
I used to think that my tragic flaw was my shyness, but after much deliberation in my head, I can see it's not my only flaw. I too, have the inability to change. I've tried to change, to make a plan and stick to it, but I still can't change. I always thought it was my surroundings that defined how I was; but that's not it at all.
It's my inability to change. Sure most people may have this flaw to a certain extent, some would never even notice, but inside us we all fear change at least a little bit.
Part of me just wants to go back in time, before anything HAD to change, and then never change again. I just don't feel that I am ready to make all these big changes. I still need time. I still need to grow up.
Honestly, I don't even see where my life is going to go. I don't know what, or who I want to be. I still need to figure it all out.
