tales from the sauna...

Yesterday evening I made a conscious decision to take a seat in the sauna at LA Fitness. Yes, I have been in there before maybe once or twice within the last 5 years haha, but I thought to myself, a nice good sweat would feel great. So after my late night workout, I enter that steamy dark wooden smelling room. There is one lady already in there and I take a seat a couple feet away. From the spot that I am sitting in, I have a view of part of the girls bathroom and the hall leading to the pool. The door of the sauna is very reflective and sort of similar to a one way mirror.

So as I am sitting here, drenched in sweat stinging my eyes, I see a girl walk straight up to the door. You would almost think that she was about to enter, but nope. She was probably early 20s, very tight fitted pants and jacket, hair and make up all done up. In my head I thought, wow, way to cake it on, it is all about to melt off in here! To my surprise, or actually I shouldn't have been surprised at all, the girl took a good look at herself in the sauna door, aka mirror. A good loooooong look. Checking out her butt, readjusting her breasts, taking another look at her butt. This lasted a good couple minutes. I understand checking yourself out, I am guilty of making sure I am somewhat presentable to the world, but for that long? And specifically those areas? This girl was not about working out, this girl was about distracting the you know who's. Oh and I weighed a solid 125.6 this morning.

When I go to the gym, I refuse to wear shorts. I do not like to constantly worry about my butt hanging out, or views of things that shouldn't be viewed while exercising. Another thing, I absolutely despise hair being in my face while running, so it gets pushed back with an elastic headband or bobby pins. Also, I do not like to wear tight tops to the gym. I am not a fun of my stomach showing, since while your running it tends to ride up, or of the outline of my stomach bouncing up and down noticeably. You will almost always see me in a big t-shirt. You know, all those old ones you get from teams you were on and volunteer places. And more than half of those time, they are wrinkly. ITS THE GYM. You get sweaty and gross anyway.

Besides the girl who was a fan of her backside, I also overheard a couple girls talking about how, "trashed" they got the night before. I can't be a hypocrite because I have made lots of mistakes when it comes to drinking. But now that I know, how can that be healthy or attractive in any way? And even flaunting the fact that you got wasted off your butt, throwing up drunk. It's cute, real cute.

Annnnd moving on to something a little bit more uplifting, God our Heavenly Father and our savior Jesus Christ! Hello, talk about amazing and wonderful and uplifting! Met with the missionaries today, as I normally do on thursdays. They share some lessons, I share some things I have learned and it goes back and forth. I really enjoy my time spent with them. At institute on tuesday night, someone shared a saying that they had heard from a member of our ward. It was something to the tune of... Yes, repentance is great and we should always repent, but we should first and foremost be obedient. That way there is nothing for us to repent of. Talk about inspirational! Follow Jesus Christ and your paths and decisions will always be straight. You will feel the spirit and be able to make wise decisions and lead you back to him. He has blessed my life more than I can even imagine, and I have been lucky enough to realize those blessings especially this year since I have taken him into my life.

About 30 minutes ago, I found out that I was accepted into LDSBC. From what I have heard, it is not that hard to get into haha, but I am still happy. It is just one place that I know I will have the opportunity to attend. I am so grateful that that school has allowed me to join, now I am just hoping and praying for BYU Provo! They are high hopes, which I do not expect to be accepted into, but I still will be diligently praying.

Farewell and goodnight!
More than blessed... Brittney

And since this blog had no pictures, not very exciting, I know. Just my pitiful thoughts sprawled into words. Here is a picture my friend sent me, he is in Hawaii trying to make me jealous I suppose. God's beautiful gift to us!
