Job! Job! Job!

I realized I hadn't updated in a bit. I feel bad kinda leaving that last post on a sour note. HOWEVER, I'm happy to announce I got a job!!!! I had an interview with Qwest on Tuesday morning, and that afternoon they offered me the job and I start TODAY!!!


I'm very excited! I think it could be a neat. It's a new venture for me because my title is Administrative Assistant, and although i know I'll be good at it, I've never officially had this job or job title before. It's at Qwest Communications, the phone/Internet/cable company. i did have a shoe-in there. My Mom works at Qwest in Phoenix, my uncle does in Flagstaff, and my brother does in Oklahoma. There has been this type of pressure for years that I should join the telecommunications industry with them and I just never wanted to do something "easy" plus I already know all the downfalls of the industry b/c it's affected ME my whole life. Gotta really be a work-a-holic to make it at Qwest. But the job seems cool and so I took it, plus I need a job. Because the Manager knows a lot of my personal story (awkward!!!) she said I could work this job as long as I need, she'd give me time off to interview for other jobs while I continue the search for what "I want" and that's just awesome!


I'm maintaining my weight! that's good! Will be excited to lose the next few pounds BUT I've officially had a (.) again and that's refreshing....maybe not a good word! But I went 9 mths without one (on Depo) and it screwed me up, so I'm thankful to be on the track of normal. THANKS TO MY NEW IUD, I'M WORRY-FREE! lol! Cheesyyyyy!


I've officially began paying down debt. I'm super stoked about that. Paid one thing off the other day and it felt sooooo amazing! Called others to negotiate and things went well, so I was happy. Debt is one thing I've always hated, but always had. I haven't gotten NEW debt since I was 19. I accumulated plenty from the time of 18 and 19 years old....way too much. So now I'm beginning the process of getting rid of it while I'm still leaving with mom. My "rent" money (if I were living on my own) is all going towards savings and debt. I'm finally on this great track and I feel really good about it!!!


Gotta rush to go pain my nails before work! I love, love the Sally Hensen Complete Manicure in a bottle line!!!!


xoxo,

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
