Day Twenty-Four and Twenty-Five

It has been a great weekend. I spent most of Saturday morning sleeping in until noon. Then was able to get a 20 minute Zumba workout in before heading to work. I was so happy that I was able to at least get a workout in. I weighed myself and was very happy to see a 154 on the scale. That makes it 4 pounds down.

Work Saturday went really well and very fast because it was such a huge event but I didn't mind. I got to work with Lori who had been on vacation so that was really nice. I was also given a compliment from one of the older steak house guys who told me I was just too cute. I enjoy making people happy and I think I have a great knack at it.

Today I once again slept in till ten thirty because of my late night at work. Then I got up and got ready to head to town. I wanted to stop by and see my Grandma but she was gone to church so I just went on into Bellingham. I was going to see Nicole who I had not seen in such a long time and it was like we had never been apart. I did spend a little too much money but I had such a fun time. I took her to the Cliff House for an early Birthday dinner and I loved having the soup. I am thinking I will most likely go back and return one or two things to make myself feel a little better.

After my time with Nicole I stopped my by ex's Grandma's to say hi and was shocked when he supplied me with $60 to help pay me for the necklace I bought from Nicole. It was a very touching thing to do and I had a nice time visiting with him for about a half hour. Its nice to know that we can indeed still be friends.

On my way home I stopped by my Grandma's one more time and yet again she was not home so I am hoping to try and see her sometime tomorrow. I came home and sorted through a whole bunch of things from my trailer that I have all the things from my apartment in it. I think I have four more boxes to do and then I shall be done and able to make moving a breeze when the time comes.

After that I was able to walk the treadmill for a half hour just to make sure I got a little bit of exercise in. Then a small dinner of cereal and a nice hot bath that then has lead me to my room where I am writing this and listening to the Kitchen House (audiobook I am listening to right now)

Day Twenty-Three

I was able to do a very fun morning of Zumba live. I of course could not do the whole part but I was able to get through more then the day before. Then off to work I went with a pretty simple day considering it was a Friday. I got to go to the sixth floor of the hotel because there was a simple event going on and it was cool to see what it was like.

I was driving home and realized I needed to get fuel so off to the pole road gas station I went. Once I had filled my tank I got a text from Joe and he asked me to come to Neil's which for Joe was a huge step for him. I had a very nice time and knew it was going to be a very fun night. I woke up on Saturday morning a very happy women!

Day Twenty-Two

Did another zumba workout; today it was an ab sculpting workout and its one of those workouts where you actually feel what you are doing. For some reason I have completely stopped doing yoga both in the morning and night. I'm not sure if its something I am going to try to get back into or not. I am however going to either purchase Insanity or p90x in the upcoming months so that as soon as I move into my new apartment I will have a workout I can do.

The good news however is that I am getting better at not wanting treats at work. I do of course want them but they are the same thing every time and its making it way easier to say no. And when I do take something I am tending to just take a bite of it and then throw it away. This is coming from reading somewhere that said the first bite is you anticipation bite, therefore making it the best bite.

Day Twenty-One

Woke up at five forty five this morning!!!! Maybe not exactly as early as I was planning on waking up this morning but I went with it. Did a little blog surfing till about six thirty and then decided to get my Zumba on! I was able to do one more routine today so made it 34 mins. My back is sore from doing something at work to tweak it but I made it through just fine. I once again was sweaty so I know its a good workout.

I work at ten today so after working out I just decided to take a bath and read a little more of Blink. I am really enjoying this book along with 12x12! After that spent a little time buying some Itunes songs and just waiting to head to work!

Work was INSANE today though. We had overlapping events and it kept us all on our feet to say the least. I was off by six and drove home to eat some dinner then was a good girl and walked for a half hour while watching Biggest Loser!

For the rest of the night I just took a bath and chilled online because work just took so much out of me.

Day Twenty

So far today has been well. I woke up at eight thirty which is a first for this week! Then I got online and was able to catch up on my blogging and happiness project toolbox resolutions. I was also able to read the blogs I enjoy so. Then I went upstairs and walked for twenty minutes thinking that would be my walking for the day then took a bath and read more of Blink. But afterwards I went upstairs to eat dinner and started watching the info commercials for Insanity and Jillian Micheal's new 90 day program. This was just what I needed to put in the zumba toning and sculpting DVD.

I wasn't able to do the whole thing but I did get a good sweat on. It felt good to be active again! I will be buying one of the 90 day programs so that once I move I will be able to start it. It has also given me an idea to do another sort of happiness project idea called my year with Jillian. The goal would be to do nothing but Jillian Micheal's workouts for the whole year.

I also have been keeping a food log today and I hope to continue doing this. I don't wanna be this unhealthy thing anymore and I know the small steps will all add up.

Day nineteen

Today is my day off before I get to work for five days in a row!!! This is going to be the first full week of work I will be doing in weeks now. I am hoping that this is a sign that things are picking up which will help the paycheck which will help me to be able to move out. I didn't do a whole lot today other then walk a little and watch NASCAR which I missed Sunday because of work. Then I had to drive my mom to my grandma's because they are leaving to start their season.

There I talked to my lil cousin to find out what she knew about her mom and that poor little girl thinks her mom will be home this week or next week. She doesn't understand what is going on at all.

When I got home I ate some dinner then walked again where I ran at 10% incline at 6mph for 30 seconds. Then walked at my normal 3mph. It felt good and I think I will try and improve that to a longer and longer time. I also am starting to sort through all my belongings in the trailer so that I can get rid of the clutter and also start my inventory list. Tonight I did Christmas stuff, though I think I am missing some things which are most likely in the trailer somewhere! So the end of the night was way more productive then the start of my day. I went to bed listening to my audio-book!

Day Seventeen and Eighteen

Things have been interesting this weekend. I woke up on Saturday to find out that my Aunt is in jail for Embezzlement. She had gone up to Alaska for the week to deal with a DUI thing and I guess when she went to get her ankle bracelet taken off they then arrested her for that. The worst part of it all is that no one in my family minus my Grandma are shocked about this. We all knew something was going on just not sure what. At this moment all we know is that her ex husband may be trying to bail her out but the charges could land her in jail anywhere from one to twenty five years. And the person I feel the worst for is her seventeen year old daughter who just thought her mom was going up for a week and would be home Sunday. It could be a few months to a year before she ever sees her mom.

So Saturday morning involved me going over to my Grandma's and just sitting there trying to get all the facts. I was there right up until I had to go to work and then worked a four to midnight shift. It was for a surprise party and was very boring. I am getting flustered with my work place as well but I think the best remedy for that is to just not talk to much.

Sunday I was at work at eleven and worked till five thirty. Another very slow day but at least it was hours. I came home had some dinner then took a bath and went to bed early. This of course made it to that I was up at like ten watching Bones until like three thirty in the morning.

Pretty much there have been no resolutions following going on this weekend but the goal is to get back on track Monday/Tuesday. I only have two more weeks left of this month!
