Alright... so as the subject says, I'm talking about doing exercise. No one (that I know of) truly enjoys it but I have just begun to do some pilates and I LOVE it! I only have an at-home video, but I feel great after I do it and never realize how long that I've been exercising until much later. I just began on Sunday but I really can feel the muscles working so I know that as long as I continue it and also add in some more cardio that I can expect to see a reduction in my belly. xD
Besides wanting to be healthy, the main reason that I'm trying to lose the weight and be healthy is in hopes of having a child. We found out nearly a year ago (last Oct) that I have poly-cystic ovarian syndrome (disease) and that it causes early miscarriages - something we have unfortunately experienced twice since we discovered the disease. I have been on some medicine to get it to be under control more but I guess it takes about 6 months for it to go into effect so it is probably FINALLY beginning to work (in late March). So now I will be hoping that the next time my husband and I get pregnant that my better health (with exercise) and diet will increase my chances of carrying a baby for the full term. We just found out from tests that the only thing that I have against me (as a typical cause for early miscarriage) is the PCOS. Which is nice since then I can really focus on the proper diet and exercise.
Oh well... as for fun things. Nothing is going on except that I agreed to be the Membership Director at a local association that I am a part of. I'm excited to have the opportunity to go out into the workforce and try to network and get more people to join our organization and help to keep our current members. Very excited.
I suppose the only good thing is that I've been reading some fun books (I love Julie Garwood! No matter how many times I read them, they always make me feel good) and manga (of course!)
And the song I'm listening to - thank the 80's station on XM. It was on and has been in my head ever since! The video is HILARIOUS (on youtube) I don't remember shoulder pads being that huge... haha

I suppose one of the other main things that I do besides work is that I also assist in a scanlation group that I love - its called manga abyss. We just recently had some changes around there but things still seem to be moving along well. I know many were concerned when the person that started the group decided to leave. The new admin of the site has made a couple changes and cleaned up the forum for the most part, it seems - I really dislike chatting much on forums so I don't spend too much time looking around. xD Oh well.
I'm trying to help both sides happy (shoujo and shounen) and so I have been scanning manga for both groups. Yep, that's right, I do scan for the group that I'm helping out. I rarely, if ever, do what I applied to be when I first began my relationship with manga abyss around a year ago (in October). I was a proofreader when I began but the last admin, caggy, somehow roped me into scanning. xD I don't mind because I do love scanning. Very time consuming. But, I get to see all of the lovely manga prior to many others. I will probably be assisting another group with their PR if they want me to help. I'm waiting on more info on MS.
Alright, that is one exciting conversation, I know, but hey - at least I'm trying! You gotta see I'm trying! LOL...
