In the end I wasted it.

"I will tell you what a tradegy is. I will show you how to waste your life.

Consider this story from February 1998 Reader's Digest: A couple 'took early retirement from their jobs in the Northeast five years ago when he was 59 and she was 51. Now they live in Punta Gorda, Florida, where they cruise on their 30-foot trawler, play softball, & collect shells...'

Picture them before Christ at the great day of judgement: 'Look, Lord. See my shells.'

That is a tragedy."

Don't Waste Your Life
John Piper

the above always refreshes me & my mindset.

So...

I've freakin gained 10lbs since high school. Many of you are thinking "10lbs, come on Anna whats the big deal!" ... & I'm thinking my dang favorite jeans are TOO tight. & bikini shopping was a pain...but thats the same every year cause, of all things, I lack boobs.

So I went "healthy" food shopping... low calorie, low fat, low sugar... HIGH fiber. & worked out 3 times (so far) this week. my abs are very sore. when I laugh I cry... ha... ouch. haha... ouch ouch. And I do believe I have a nice case of shin splints.

other than this I am over & abundently blessed & was fearfully & wonderfully made.
