Tuesday nights are my favorite night!

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Tuesday night at my gym they have a aqua class that I attend. Matthew usually comes with me, but I am not sure if he just goes to support me or he really likes it. We haven’t attended for almost a month with all the stuff going on with my Mom, I just didn’t have the time or I was busy or tired. So tonight we went and the instructor was gone but someone else filled in for her. I was a little sad, because I really LOVE that class.

Before heading out in the pool, I hopped onto the scale to get a VERY nice surprise! I am down to 354.5. I was going back and fourth between 358 and 356 for the longest time. So it finally dropped and hopefully still dropping! I am so happy and proud that I am loosing. It is a great feeling when you see the scale say your loosing. I remember going on the scale at the doctors office back in January at 377. I was a very unhappy and depressed person. I am now better and dealing with it and I have a great support system and tools to help me.

I haven’t been to the gym in awhile with everything going on with my Mom. I am really nervous about leaving her alone. I fear that I will come home and see her dead on the floor. I know that is bad to be thinking, but it makes me very nervous. Maybe it will be a little bit better once she goes back to work. At least someone will be near her and I won’t have to worry. Of course I worry, but I know that shes not alone. I think once she goes back to work, I am going to set myself on a schedule and start following it. Along with the schedule, I also need to track everything involved with my weight loss such as what I am eating, what I am drinking and what work outs I am doing. I plan on bringing this with me when I see my trainer and my doctor so they can see what a fantastic job I am doing.

When I came home from the gym tonight, there was a message on the answering machine. I am SO glad I listened to it because I got a call back from one of the places I applied for last Sunday. It is actually a job that I want very badly. The position is a makeup artist. I feel I am very qualified for the position. I have over 6 years of experience, plus my personal experience of doing my own makeup and family and friends. So I am going to call the lady back tomorrow morning and hopefully schedule an interview. The awesome thing about it is that I get to wear a suit and heels to work everyday. Something I always dreamed about doing. I enjoyed working for home, but it tends to get lonely and boring at home. Plus paid blogging is not steady, unless your very lucky to find a website that is secure and doesn’t cut hours or hold on work. This is why I stopped doing paid blogging. I need steady work and income. Plain and simple.

The time is flying by

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Wow, I can not believe its July 13, 2010. In five months, it will be December 2010! The time is just flying by so fast! I hate it when it flys by so fast because I have so much to do and no time! Its crazy to think in just 5 months, the holidays will be here.  Buying presents, trying to find a parking spot ugh I am not looking forward to that!

I am still working on my flickr project. I deleted all the photos on flickr and re uploaded all of them one size. I also watermarked certain sets as well. I learned my lesson from someone stealing my picture. I still need to watermark our photography and then upload it. I just can’t find the time to upload and do other things. I am always out doing something. Whether its with my Mom, Matthew or I am at the gym I can’t find time to do anything for me.

I am really glad that I re uploaded the pictures because it gave me time to organize my nephew’s pictures into years. I just had them all over in folders. Now there under each year the picture was taken. I also made copies of them and stuck them away should something happen and my computer dies. You never know when your computer will stop working, so take it from me backup everything!!

I know that I mention that Matthew and I are wanted to get iphones, but I am really thinking about just staying with Verizon and trying out a Android phones. We are both allowed to get new phones as of January 2011, so hopefully they will come out with something new. Preferably one with a keyboard. I am starting to dislike phones that are touch screen. I hate cleaning it 50 times a day!
