many happenings.

I feel like a lot has happened in the past week. Nothing extraordinary really.

I signed up for a Polyvore account. It's this website where you can put together outfits based on real clothes. And you can shop on it and all kinds of cool things. I've been inspired!

I also signed up for MyPlate on the LiveStrong website. MyPlate is a free program that helps you count calories as well as watching your fat, protein, carbs, etc. You can keep track of how much water you've drank, as well as take "dares" which are just challenges that you have accountability for. I signed up for the Take a Multivitamin Everyday dare. So far, so good, although I'm almost out and it seems One a Day doesn't do well on my stomach. But I've connected with a group of 20 somethings which is cool to chat with people going through similar situations at the same point in life. In fact, there's a girl in the group who has abotu the same amount to weight to lose as me, who is also an unemployed college graduate. That's about it for similarities but still. And I'm not doing this to get super model skinny or because I hate the way I look. I am looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I need this because of my high risk for diabetes, heart conditions, etc through my genetics. So far, it's been hard. I'm an emotional eater and I eat when I'm bored. And I'm really bad at portion control. All of which is a TERRIBLE combination. But with support and resources from LiveStrong I hope to change that. We'll see what happens when I go home and I don't have constant internet access and will be better able to decide what I eat.


I think my biggest worry right now is my job search. Have I become so obsessed with gaining this healthy lifestyle that I've neglected to do something about my job search? What am I supposed to be doing  now? I feel just as lost as I was at the beginning of the summer.

And God feels just as far.


Lord, forgive my fleeting heart and mind. Direct my paths. Guide me into righteousness.
