New Lifestyle

While I was on vacation I started thinking about how unhealthy I have been the last three years of my life.  There is a feeling of defeat in my heart because three years ago I made the commitment to loose the freshman 15 (which was more like 40) and I did accomplish my goal.  I was at the top of my healthy zone and then I fell into the same category many women fall under after they get married....the comfort category.   After I got married I gain ALL the weight back and maybe even more.  Thanks to my bad memory I can't remember the exact weight I started out the last time; but for the first time I am making it public...as of right now I know my body is made out of 35.5% fat.  My BMI is super high, I am on the boarder line of probably being obese.  I weight 159lbs and I am only 5'1''! That is very very embarrassing.  But enough with the pity and excuses. I am 25 yrs old if I do not change my lifestyle right now that I don't have kids, I have the time and a supporting spouse then I never will.  I pledge to be at 115lbs before my 26 birthday.  Which I have PLENTY of time to do so.   Therefore I want to formally declare war on my fat! Wish me luck! The hardest part is the mental training you have to do.  Please pray for my thoughts to stay positive while I embark on this journey :)

Submissive Women?

Do you think a woman should be submissive to her husband?  The bible says for women to be submissive to their husbands.  Do you agree with this? Or do you think that women that are submissive are weak and a failure?

I used to think that being submissive meant giving up your opinion and authority but now I realize you gain more when you show submission to your husband, well if you have a good husband.  A good husband knows that a woman that submits to him, she is not doing it so that he can do whatever he pleases; but instead she is showing him that she trusts him to do the right thing for their family.  In effect, men tend to become more considerate to their wives' opinions and feelings and really do make the right decisions.  Or at least this is what has happen in my marriage since I stop trying to take my husbands role as the head of the house, and instead took the role as the heart of the house. Things have been so great since we both realize that at the end of the day, God made him a man and he made me a woman and their are certain roles God wants us to follow so that we can all live in peace and harmony with our love ones......the bible really does transform people.  That is why I rather put my faith in a holy book than in societies stigmas.  The bible is a how to book that shows you how to find understanding, love, peace, harmony, and hope in a world that makes you think that power is everything. In a world that makes you thing that when you submit to something, is  a sign of weakness and failure....I really think that that is why there is so many divorce people.  People put their faith in the wrong ideals and in return they destroy the things that they love the most.....family.

Am I still a catholic?

Recently I have really started to doubt whether I still considered myself Catholic.  I have been reading the bible with the help of a tutor and I realize that a lot of the traditions that Catholics keep, are not reinforced by the bible.  I also don't like the idea that when I go to church everything is such a routine.  I love reading the bible and actually learning how to apply it in my life and understand its content.  The sad thing is that nobody at the church has ever invited me to study it, I had to seek help outside of the church.  For now I will keep reading and learning about how great God and Jesus are! :)

What is the next step...

While I was up all night not being able sleep, (Reason: the movie The Rite with Anthony Hopkins! F-ing scary!) I started thinking about my future. Don't get me wrong, I've thought of it many other times but I haven't felt the urgency to take the next step until yesterday at 3am. I have a few ideas in mind but I don't know which one is the right one for me. Should I:

1. Get my Masters in Health Administration
2. Get my Masters in Business Administration/Marketing
3. Get my Alternative Teaching Certification and then get my Masters in Education Administration.

Theres one thing in common with all of these: Administration. :) So at least I have an idea of what I would like to do, the problem is what industry. What to do, what to do...

Work life after college....

Up until last September the only job I knew about was house cleaning. Now thanks to God, I can have a "real" job and now I find myself wanting the freedom that came with my house cleaning. Freedom to schedule my own work week, freedom to work with whoever I chose to. I am now working for a company called EL Saber where I am learning many new things about my field, but most importantly how to adapt and put up with people. I used to not understand my husband when he came home frustrated about how his coworkers but now I find myself venting with him about the same things. lol Oh how life works... as humans beings we are never TRULY satisfied with what we have. We always waste our time wishing for something new. I now believe that in order to find true happiness, we need to practice balance and contentment with the smallest and simplest of things.
