endorphins and marriage

so for the past few days or weeks i've been thinking a decent amount. shocking, i know.

but mostly only about two things: exercise and marriage.

i know the two seem random, but they are actually semi-related if you really think about.

i mean hello? the lgn diet? you can't get more related than that.

lgn: look good naked. for those uneducated souls out there

so here are some blabberings about these two subjects.

numba one. 

so i've been giving the whole working-out thing another shot.

i tend to go through phases, and this one is lasting longer than most.

because the other day at the beach i had a bit of an epiphany.

i was looking at a couple of my friends and i thought to myself

"they look good in their suits, and they have to work for it.

why don't i work for it so that i can look good in my suit?"

i know that seems like duh but it was a bit of an a-ha moment for me.

so i've been doing jillian michaels 30-day shred and running when i can.

and you know what? it's true what they say: exercise really does release endorphins!

who would have though that the experts have been right all this time.

since living in hawaii i really have felt the best i have in a long time.

i am so active because i bike and walk everywhere. 

plus swimming, hiking, and the occasional dance party on top of that.

i love this feeling of being active. it makes me happy.

and another reason to work out as vain as it may be:

 i want my friends and family to notice a difference when i go home for christmas.

plus there are going to be all sorts of weddings and homecomings... so why not work it? :)

and for my last thought on this matter.

if i want a guy with a hottie bod shouldn't i have a hottie bod too?

thank you pinterest for this little inspiration

this is for reals my last thought. and what's wrong with being on the lgn before i get engaged? 

it will make it that much easier when the time does come, right? 

which won't be for quite a while, mind you.

and this leads us to our next topic.... marriage.

numba two.

"mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday."

this topic is a favorite of byu-hawaii. 

it is all-consuming to the point of ridiculousness.

it seriously comes up in every church meeting, fireside, random conversation, and even most of my classes.

so it's only natural that i think about it.

and then the other day i had a moment where i was frustrated witt the world of men.

cause they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

 so my roommate and her kind friend thanks tati and donnie sat me down until we figured out what i want in life.

and we figured out that i don't just want to kiss somebody to kiss somebody.

i want to have it mean something.

because i am sick of having random flings.

i want to have somebody who wants to spend their time with me.

somebody to go on adventures with.

you know. just somebody like that.

but another friend pointed out to me in a similar discussion that we're kind of at that stage where dating is more serious.

and that we shouldn't really be messing around.

and then we talked about how this is a slightly terryfing thought.

because i sometimes think we are still just kids.

and kids don't/can't get married.

but that's obviously not true, because everyone i know is getting married these days.

anyways. this is getting to be a really long post with way too many words.

so i should head out.

BUT. as a final note i would just like to say:

i am not in any hurry/desperate to get married.

i actually have the next ten years of my life planned out as a single lady.

and it's a pretty dang good one.

but, if a man does come along sometime within those ten years, things can be rearranged.

and that will be pretty dang good too.

i have just come to terms with the fact that i would be fine with a legitimate relationship,

because i am so over random flings.

and on that note, here's a good thought for you.

that is all. 

thank you and good night.

and if you actually read this far, then kudos to you!

holla.
