I'm learning to like vegetables

I haven't blogged in a while and thought I would give a quick update as to my life. I have registered for both Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2. I will be taking these classes this summer which pretty much means my summer is gonna suck. Oh well, I'm hoping I'll get in to nursing school starting January 2011. If I don't I will try again for the next year.
For the next 6-12 weeks I'm only eating whole foods. I'm trying not to eat anything with perservatives or additives. It's been about a week and a half and so far so good. Dad decided to do it with me. I'm glad he's doing it too. Being healthy is fun and hard.
I am a realitively healthy person. For the past few years I've been pretty health consciences. A few Mondays ago I went on a date with this really nice guy. His name is Sean. He was in town visiting from SLC and after talking at the branch he asked me out. I went and I had a pretty good time. There were things about him that I didn't like. 1st, he was very overweight, 2nd, he didn't have a college degree (he's a real estate agent), and 3rd, he was late picking me up. He had an excuse to be late, he got lost and he's not from the area so that is forgivable.
I never thought I cared too much about physical appearance and thought those who did are pretty shallow. But this time it did bother me. And I decided if I don't want to date certain types of people then I can't be that person.
So I like people with college degrees and I have one so I can check that off my list. I like chubby boys but not overly fat. So I need to get in better shape. I decided all this before I decided I actually never want to get married.
That is actually the main reason I am going back to nursing school. I'll post more on my anti-marriage stance later.
So then I wondered if I never want to marry then why am I trying to be healthier. I don't care who I attract any more. The answer is I am doing it for me and me alone. Since I've decided to stay single I'll be taking a lot of vacations. And I want to look food and feel good during all these. So that's my life currently. Forcing myself to eat things I don't like. In the process learning that most aren't all that bad.

I admire your commitment when you are set on doing something....as for physical appearance, there are always going to be things that you do not like about people, we just have to do what Mrs. Hulgan tell Aubree "see the good, know the good, and love the good"
