    I'm 27, I work in a hospital as a nursing assistant, I don't really have a ton of hobbies currently, too busy. I used to enjoy geo-caching, brewing beer, reading and gardening. And other **** too, but well stop there. I live with my family at my mil's house. Hubby is almost done with school. It's challenging to not be in charge of your household, be glad when we are finally ready to move. We will a quiet life. I prefer a dvred show over a night out with friends. I am not very materialistic. I'd rather my kids be happy than have a nice new dress.

I go for a hour (all I can get right now) and hit it hard so I can get a good sweat in, life always looks better after a good workout!

    Are you on a specific diet: Nope. I do try to eat a lot of protein and less fat but in the end I'm looking more at calories (and right now eating enough) as my weight gets down and I get back in shape I will need to watch my macro's more.

    Your biggest fear (not related to your children): Losing my husband...but as for a physical thing: snakes!
  • Welcome Becky! AND EEWW snakes is mine too! My grandfather had a 24 foot one and he had made a tank for it in his spare bathroom it was where the bathtub was it was huge much like the snake the dang thing was right across from the toilet I remember as a kid hating to pee at his house!! Needless to say Grandpa passed away this past year and no one wanted the snake because it was so big we contacted the zoo and they would only take him if he was 25 feet.... I wanted to stretch that dang thing!! Thankfully we found someone who loved snakes had 2 and we knew he would take good care of it ! YUCK!!
