Woke up this morning at 5 to a storm, thought to myself, alright, I'll wait half an hour, maybe it'll calm down. 2.5 hours later I'm on my way to work, without being free of the rain. When I got home, I immediately changed and went on a walk, so I managed to at least get that in. But, I also did some sit-ups and a plank, albeit, both rather short due to me being in such poor shape.

Ate fairly well, today I suppose, but I'm worried about the next week, before I can get my first paycheck. I imagine I will be either scrounging unhealthily, or convince the hubby to splurge before we both get paid. I mean, we have plenty of food, it's just not that healthy.

Hopefully tomorrow it won't be raining in the morning so I go for my morning walk. Pulled out my yoga mat, too, so if anything, I can start that.




The husband and I made a bet to see who can use the most weight (percentage-wise) by my brother-in-laws wedding, which is in October. The last time we did this, things sorta fizzled. We're not quite sure what the winner will get. Personally, I think he'll give up, just due to his inability to commit to it. Either way, it's my intention to lose as much healthy weight by then as possible, anyway. Especially since I'm the wife of the best man.

Fudgin' pictures...

Started my new job today as a member service rep at a local health insurance company. I can see myself being very happy here. So far, mostly everyone has been really great about answering questions and explaining things. Having a job like this makes me feel like a real grown up, lol. I mean, at 26 I should really be settled in somewhere, but I've always just have gotten factory work or waitress and cashiering jobs. Not to say that those aren't perfected respectable jobs, despite the amount of people who disrespect the people working. I just am never happy in those positions, and I know I accomplish more. It's silly, I know, but I feel more responsible in this kind of position.

I also got up at 5 this morning and went for a 30 min walk. I intended for it to be an hour, but I got a late start, unfortunately. Tomorrow I will go out again, and over time, I'll extend the walking time/distance by going after work, as well. I need to build up energy before that though. I'm going to start beginner yoga, and one of my new co-workers was telling me about her roller derby team having tryouts soon. That peaked my interest.

I'm thinking that the few extra pounds is mostly water weight, but I'm have serious plans for healthy eating. After my first paycheck, the plan is to make a lot of crock pot recipes, since my husband and I now work the same hours. Or, at the very least, preparing meals beforehand, then just shoving them into the oven. I also am planning healthy snacks for work, to keep me from overeating as well as feeling that early afternoon lag. Cutting down on soda, though I did have one today, because I needed a kick, but I have been drinking a lot of water today, so that's great!

I feel absolutely happy, now. I got my motivation thanks to this job. It gives me a real sense of accomplishment. Wish me luck!

MY husband and I have made an agreement: No soda until Halloween. We had one cheat day two weeks ago, and since then, I've been doing really well. Trying to slowly transition to water, since I am really not a water drinker. He doesn't get my I don't like water, and I don't really have an explanation. We started with Gatorade... which is about as much calories as a soda, but to be fair, it was on sale, so I got a weeks worth. Now, I'm drinking tea (which he hates) and he's on milk and water. I'm going to have tea everyday, just because I really love it, but instead of Arizona Sweet Tea, I'm going to start brewing my own, and sweetening it slightly. Though, I'll have more water than tea, just because it's better for me.

Now enough of that drivel...

I'm trying to find the motivation to work out, and instead I've been far to interested in Elder Scrolls Online. I'm currently addicted (so if any of you play, feel free to contact me, because I love grouping up). Since I quit my job a couple weeks ago, I haven't really devoted my time to searching for another job, either. The first week was spent cleaning up the house, trying to get it looking nice. This week I haven't done anything but the dishes. I feel bad.

Unfortunately, my lack of motivation is also affecting my general care. I still only eat once a day, and I don't have the excuse of my job, now. So, I need to break that habit.

What's most disappointing is that now that I have the time to write, I still am not. And despite all the online video games, I'm being very anti-social. I get mini panic attacks just thinking about calling or emailing my friends, or even going outside. I don't think it's depression, because I don't really feel unhappy, so I'm not sure how to go about to change that.

Suggestions?
