It's been awhile...

Wow, has it really been since mid Aug that I last updated this journal?  My bad. 

I just got back from a run.  The weather here has finally cooled off some and i can run outside again without eating a million mosquitoes.  Life is good.  Admittedly, I slacked off for a while on the workouts. I was maybe running once a week.  I get fat really quickly when I am not exercising every single day.  Of course, when one is only 4' 9" tall, the fat really has no place to go and the whole world can tell when you gain 5 pounds.   To make matters worse, I just went to get fitted for my bridesmaid dress for my friend, Cindi's wedding, which is coming up in December, and my dress is a size 10.  A freaking TEN!  I was mortified. The woman at the dress place said that you can't use that as a guide because wedding and bridesmaid dresses are sized differently than other clothes.  Whatever.  All my other clothes are either a 4 or a 6. Even a six is unacceptable for someone of my size, i realize, but I am realistic. A loose 4 would make me happy.  So, far be it for me to bitch and not do anything about it, I will bitch and work out.   Life is good again.  The good news is that I loose weight as quickly as I gain it as long as i am working out every day.

I started my new rotation at work this past Monday.  It was hard to leave the flight I had grown to know and love, but it's part of my career.  I have to rotate as a career requirement.  Over the next 2 years, i will rotate two more times at least.  I am the Group Practice Manager now and I think I am going to enjoy it once I learn the in's and out's of the job.  I am looking forward to the change and, at worst, I am only there for another year before I am scheduled to move to another base. 

I love the idea of moving to a new place.  It's not that I don't love my home, and this town, although painfully tiny, has grown on me a bit.  But I love going to new places!  A year will be over before I know it.  Life is good.
