Sadness...

Today on MSN.com there was a story about the unhealthiest cities versus the healthiest cities in the US.

The sadest part of that is that while I live in one of the unhealthiest, an hour and a half to two hours away, my fiance lives in one of the healthiest. :(.

I'm always worrying about my health, although I'm too lazy to do anything about it. I used to be in American karate, for about a year. Before some evil meanie that I used to work with ruined it for me and joined. I was doing just fine, losing a lot of weight too. I was sort of fit for once in my life.

Then this jock, not that I normally have anything against jocks (ok, sometimes I do) but this one in particular had so many other sports she could have done. She was already in indoor soccer and basketball and some other sports. She practically lives in the university rec. center. But NOOOOOOOOO... she had to try to take my sport too.

Well, it totally sucks that I had to give it up. Now I could take it back up again, she graduated and is now GONE from my life - forever (I'm doing a little happy dance on the inside). But it would take up a considerable amount of time from my schedule and I'll be doing research next semester and taking an independent study course in topology.

So I should, hypothetically, be really concentrating on those courses. I just realized yesterday, that I have 2 months left before the fall term starts. That's not a lot of time to get FAFSA stuff ready and what not. Especially considering that I have to validate like ASAP because the deadline for validation is coming up soon.

But health is definately on my mind a lot. Especially considering that diabetes sort of runs in the family and I am medically overweight.
