Mamma Mia

I went to Mamma Mia with a group of friends last night. It was SO much fun!!! Evidently we weren't supposed to take photos (which someone told me later), but I took this one of the cast.
Starting from the back of our group is Austin (in the white shirt), Nick, Lynne, Dave, and Lexi Tenny, Mike Mobley, and me. It was a really humid day so I went with light colors, but we were all very sticky.
I had seen Mamma Mia a few years ago (the broadway) and loved it. I convinced the Tennys and Mike that we had to see it because it was so much fun and soooo much better than the movie. It is so lively, energetic and fun. We were cheering, clapping before the scenes were over, and laughing. It is just such a great show! I woke up singing the songs this morning.

Things have been good since the breakup. I miss Dave, but really I'm doing better than I expected. I'm super busy so that helps. Dave was so into me right from the start. It's going to be hard to go back to the LDS crowd where they don't seem to know how to show that they like you. Work is hectic and I have to go to Oklahoma for a few weeks for work, so again, keeping busy. I have great friends who have invited me to things and helped me keep my mind off of it.

I think I am going to try and start running. I went and was fitted for running shoes yesterday. I ran awhile ago and really enjoyed it. My knees didn't hurt and I was able to run for a half hour without any problems. I've never been a runner because I do have knee problems and honestly I didn't think I could do it. However, I guess I can because of all the exercise I do. I have gained weight and feel like I'm just gaining and gaining--because I am. I have got to change some things up so running is something new I can try. I may also join a gym so I can go do classes every morning. They help motivate me so much. Despite all of this, it's really the motivation to do it because it's really not about the exercise. It's about the food intake. I'm just not motivated to stop eating all the chocolate I eat. Part of it's stress, part of it's boredom, and part of it's just psychological. I wish there was a pill I could take that would just make me not want to eat. I would love that!
