I totally recommend it.....even just playing volley ball you have to jump and hit the ball .....and game like BL are great they cardio and at 1st u use your body are resistence no need for pricey equipment, or trainer it is very acurate at judging your movements! I love the dancing...not very good at it yiet but loving it!

As for the Tattoo I have one already a red rose on the back of my left shoulder...It was like my 3rd date with my now husband and I was 21 or 22 and I still love it! As far as drawing I used to be good but I haven't practiced in a while so I might do like a basic sketch of what I want and then see what the tattoo artist can do with it (on paper before of course)

Hey there!

You're doing so good! Sometimes we break off, and don't eat well, or don't exercise...but you've done so good so far- it's going to be so easy for you to get back on the wagon and back to your routine!

Don't feel bad about it either! We all do it! :) We're human!!! And we all need a treat and break some times!

You're doing great!! Have a fantastic week!

Good Day forum friends


I didn't get a chance to log on friday sorry! I am still working but I have a feeling my days here are numbered....but I have a plan B ....if I do loose my job I will try to apply for 2nd career. Going back to school wile on ei will help find a better job after something more interesting more me. More and more I realise that this not only is not the work place for me but also not the right job....I hate being on the phone,,,, and can't stand back stabing immature people so really if they choose to cut my job then I am going to take it and run!

Breakfast
english muffin (whole wheat) egg white with some cheese!

Lunch
home made kong pao chicken
chicken breast, frozen veggie, and a package of kong pao chicken seasoning spices.

Diner
at my mother in laws ( no idee)
 
Well it happened yesterday......I am now officially with out a job....for the first time in like 10years I am unemployed. I was expecting it....not on a monday but still I knew it would happen....did not make it any better. The bosses where not asses,,,,they gave me a great recomendation letter, and an extra 2 week pay. I still am feeling very depressed and craving ice cream...but I won't cave in....gaining what I lost so far will not help me in any way.
 
Aww sorry to hear that Veronique. I'm sure it's for the best in the long run. Beat those cravings or else you'll just make yourself feel worse. Try and look on the bright side - you should have an extra 30 min for a workout now! That will releave some stress too! Take care friend.
 
Hey Lisa Thanks


I am not really sad about the job itself I won't really miss the people there, some of the people I tought where friends but in the end where not. it's over I am turning the page but I am worried about the money I am worried about. I want to go back to school, but don't know if I even qualify for 2nd career we will see, I am taking it one day at a time. They are paying an extra 2 weeks and that is good. My mother in law could possibly help me find some houses to clean, money is good and it could give me the break I need from phones and people in general. The craving haven't won yiet....mostly cause I don't want to go the store and see the cheese I used to sell or have my former customers ask me why I am not calling them anymore. It's just a job it's not my life!
 
Hey Verobc, really sorry to hear about the job loss. I've been there and whilst it sucks, but like you say, it does allow you to take a long hard look at what you were doing and whether its time to make change. The unknown is the potential, but being pushed out there isn't! I look back to when I was made redundant and whilst it was pretty traumatic at the time, where I've ended up because of it is great - a completely new direction and I wouldn't change it for the world. I guess I'm saying, its tough but see it as an opportunity if you can. Hope the money worries even out - sounds like the cleaning could fill a useful gap in the meantime.
 
Good News I met with my very first customer this morning and I have wednesday morning booked. I also have another women to meat on the 15 of the month so I will do this for a while take a break from customer service....a much needed break so that I can be myself at 100% when I go for another job....I might do the cleaning till both kids are in school and my son as done teething!
 
That is such great news Veronique! I'm happy to hear things are looking good so quickly. As you said it is just a job not your life, I lost a job that I really used to love doing and it still bothers me to this day, so I really appreciate you saying that...it puts things into perspective for me. ALSO EXCELLENT job on not caving with the cravings :hurray:
 
hey there girlie! Sorry to hear about the job, but then again CONGRATS on the the great news! It's nice that you've found something so soon!

It's nice to hear that you're thinking about going back to school! School can be such a life changing experience!!

Also, SUPER congrats on not letting the cravings win! That's hard! I know when i'm worried or stressed out, all i want to do is eat the food that i know will comfort me!! so you have super powers to resist! :)

I hope you have a fabulous weekend :)
 
Hey Girls.....Thank you for your support....reading diaries on here and spending my days with my mother in law really helped me put things into perspective......at first I loved that job and people I worked with but over the last couple of months I got tired of being on the phone all the time and also I got tired of not being supported by my company and co workers.....I am not saying that I am perfect and never do mistakes but since most orders are done on the phone it's really easy for the customer to put the blame on the person entering the order.....I repeated all orders to the customer but still some would says that is not what I ordered......I would think that the company would try to find a way to protect it's employees with out ofending the customer....sending a fax comfirmation of the order to the customer to be signed and refax or correction written on and refax so that way when they receive the order they are responsible for it? Aparently that was too complicated for them.....The girls in the office that a whole different story, at first I tought cool people my age mabe I can make new friends that live in the area that would be nice...... they where all two faced people, I am the type of person if I have an issue with some I will pull them aside tell them about it and then find a solution, then it's over I won't drag it out I won't tell everyone in the office. The people I worked with on the other hand..... they where all about being nice to your face and then when you have you back turned then....the claws came out! I need a break from offices! Loosing a job was hurtful but also a good thing in the end that wasn't the kind of environment I want to work in....I think I fit in better with older people or mabe it's just strait talking people.....It's been almost a week now time to move on right, I have to work out a little each day, get myself out of the emotional rut I am in....food won't get me there ( plus if I want to eat healthy I can't afford junk).....
