If You Fail Try Again...

So how many times has this happened to you... I'm lying here in bed, catching up on my YouTube subscriptions, and I get the idea in my head that I should go to the gym. I keep watching my videos and in my head going "oh i dont want to go" "but you NEED to go" and I look down at the time and realize that during all this time I was contemplating and arguing with myself about the gym.... I could of went to the gym and been back and showered by now. Grrr. Damn YouTube and how it sucks me in! :)

Worked out for 2 hours tonight. I'm exhausted now. My legs are like jello! I felt like I could barely walk up the stairs to my apartment when I got home. Did make a rookie mistake though. I took a nap before going to the gym tonight, so I hadn't ate anything for about 6 hours before going. My body sure knew that it had no fuel. Every exercise seemed to last longer than ever.

On another note, my gym got a new step machine. Man was I sweatin my butt off within 5 minutes of being on that thing! Wish I had other machines to choose from though. Thinking of switching to a different 24 hour gym here in town. It costs a little more, but has way more machines and every machine has its own tv attached to it. May have to go take a tour. The only down side is a girl who is always competing with me goes there. I dont think she goes as often as she says though. But maybe it would be a good thing, if she was there I think that would make me stay longer and push harder.. we shall see what my budget looks like and how the tour is.

Emailing BodyBugg now to see if someone can figure out what is wrong with my bugg! Have a good night all!
 
Yay! Got my BodyBugg back up and running just now! Only took resetting everything on my computer and doing a full arm band restart but now it works!

Had an overall good day. Vegged in the morning, went to work, worked out for 45 minutes after work. Now just lyin here basking in the fact that I can fix things haha.

Mind you I did NOT want to go to the gym tonight. I tried and tried to talk myself out of it. And then next thing I know i'm on my way home and I'm turning left instead of going straight and then I'm sittin in the parking lot. Well hell, might as well go in.. we're already here right?! Thank goodness my body took over and drove me there lol. I'll thank it in the long run. :)

Oh yea, did I mention got my car back? $230.00 later. :) Not bad, at least its not a claim on my insurance then cuz it didn't go over my deductable. Any whoooo im gonna go roam around. Talk to you guys tomorrow!

Flumes! Thanks so much.. yeah that car I tell ya.. I owe so much $$ on it, I should really trade it in. But I love how it just screams I DONT HAVE BABIES!! :) lol

Today was a just down right horrible day personally. Everything with court coming up on Tuesday and talking to the DA and Detectives is getting old. I'm ready to be done with all this jazz! I tell ya I talk to the authorities so often I'm surprised im not the criminal in this case lol. Need to call the DA in the morning though, so we aren't finished yet!

Food wise though, today was great!(besides the couple of cocktails I had cuz of my bad day) Got in pleanty of protein, lowering my carbs alittle more each day. I really think thats my big problem, the amount of pasta, potatoes, bread ect I can eat. 1 piece or serving is never enough when it comes to my carbs. I'd rather eat JUST the carb of the meal instead of any other part of the meal. And how i'm slowly but surely losing more and more each day I think I've finally figured out the connection. :)

"But I love how it just screams I DONT HAVE BABIES!! lol"

Too funny!

Good luck with your court stuff.

I love carbs....I come from an Italian family....you could be sure one of the daily meals would be a pasta of sorts. And 100 gram portions is unheard of in an Italian family. Gawd, I think my mom used the pasta pot to bath us as babies! lol (ya we were poor !) lol

Now I switched to whole wheat pasta. Its a bit healthier and i only have it as a side dish.

Take care....(still chuckilin over the car scream!)
 
Haha thanks Flumes. But I'll be honest, thats what I tell everyone when they ask about my car! :)

So court is going to get pushed back.. apparently shes not ready to go back to jail so her lawyer is going to ask for more time to "investigate" the case. So I'm still going to show up on Tues, but expecting nothing. After I was mad all day about it(after realizing that the system actually protects the criminals more than the victims), im ok with it now. I came to realize that she will have to pay for her actions one day, and it may not happen as soon as I would like, but I think someone, somewhere has my back and will give me the justice I deserve.

Food today was awesome and only had one cocktail after work. Flumes, I have switched out all my pastas and stuff to whole grain, and I no longer eat white potatoes, I only eat sweet potatoes now... but they even have like 200 cal per serving. Oh well, they give me my sweet and my carb fix so I'm gonna keep em. Especially since I just recently tried them and enjoyed them. My mom always made them for Thanksgiving and I hated them.

Anywho, this is gettin kinda long. So I guess I shall be going. OH! Did any of you watch the Grey's finale?! I just watched it and OMG! I think that was the best episode since the show began and I have been watching since the very beginning. Can't wait for next season now. Ok ok ok ... I'm really going now. Love you all!!!

Well I know ive been bitching alot about my life lately... with my stepdad having leukima, my sister stealing my identity and my car being vandalized. You think that my life would be pretty ok by now right? NOPE!
Today I got called into the office of the restaurant where I have worked as the kitchen manager for the last 4 1/2 years. And I was told that in 2 weeks, on June 6th I will no longer be employed there because the owner has hired his cousin to do my job for less money. OMG! I have never in my life been let go or fired from a job before. I have no clue what to do, how Im going to pay my bills.. and I have to TRAIN this guy cuz he's never cooked before! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I have a DEGREE!!!!

My quote for today comes from myself...
"All of the shit in my life has hit the fan, guess I better go buy some overalls."

I dont know. Im just so upset right now that I should just let this be for right now and come back and talk more tomorrow. I love you all and thanks for giving me some where to vent.

I'm so sorry for being such doom and gloom lately guys. It just seems like I'm at a point in my life where everything is just crashing down. After lots of thought I've come to the realization that this is probably the kick in the ass I need. I think I would have stayed at my job out of being comfortable and secure for years yet had this not happened. I had no reason to look else where for different opportunities that actually strike my fancy. I was too worried with how the job market is that I would get a job and then since I'm on the bottom I would be the first to go. Well as this situtation has taught me.. I was on the top, longest time employee(even longer than the owner), and yet I was still let go.

I have been telling a friend at work lately(even though this was towards her relationship, it works in my current work situtation) that at the time we think that something is so completely horrible, but in the end its the best thing for us. Im glad I'm not waiting around 5 years to realize that.

I already see this as being for the best. I have turned down so many jobs, in fear that I would be betraying my boss or that I had loyalty to them, even though I was never fully taken care of as an employee, let alone a manager. They had no loyalty to me. I have missed out on so much of my life as a result of working there. Working 6 days a week, most days 9:30am-10pm. Having that kind of schedule rarely gives you a life out side of work. Now I have the opportunity to go visit or call my family with out the burden of "well i have to work late are you going to be up yet?"

I see big and wonderful changes in my future and for that I am thankful.

Have a good day all, I'll be back later with my numbers update. :)
 
Awwww. Sorry to hear about the bad news bud.

I hope you land a great job....something better than what you had. Maybe this happened for a reason. Fate? Who knows...but I hope you hang on and get thru it ok.

I'm sure you earned your employment where you were and then some....and you can take that experience and dedication elsewhere where it will be appreciated.

Just take things one day at a time...I'm sure theres others here along with myself that will be wishing you well thru this too.

Take care <<<<<Hugs>>>>>>
 
Thanks so much Flumes!!

So I totally love my mother. Just got this email from her.. She truly is my best friend.

This was a quote my cousin Bobby posted...I was thinking of u when I read it...Good luck in court..I am with u 100%!!!!!! I love you baby girl! Just hang in there..it will all work out 4 the best...coz u are the BEST!!!!
XOXOXO :eek:)
Momma"

Ahh that is just what I needed tonight before court tomorrow. I cant find my display for my BodyBugg so will have to update that tomorrow when I do find it. Gotta get to bed now, have to be up and ready in about 7 1/2 hours. Talk to you all later and thank you for your support!!!
 
What a day, what a day! Court kinda sucked, she showed up late and was granted more time so now we don't go back until June 30th. But all is well because she will be sentenced for her other open case(which is also a felony) on June 7th, which my mom and I are going to go to as well. So she may get put away earlier than she anticipated.

We then went to a lake front restaurant and had a yummy lunch out on the boardwalk where I literally was in the sun for a max of 15 minutes and I got FRIED! Owie..it hurts. I should know better to carry my sunblock with me 24/7. I can burn just walking out to my car. lol

On another positive note, I put in my resume yesterday at a local hospital for a cooking posistion and I was called back first thing this morning! I have an interview tomorrow at 10:30! Whoop Whoop! More money, "normal job" hours, every other weekend, paid time off, benifits. I may get to have a life if I get this job! :)

Gotta go to bed now. I want to be well rested for this interview! Gotta make a great impression and trust me...first thing in the morning is not the time that i shine :).

Love you all! Goodnight! Send a prayer out into the universe that I get the job please! :)

So I just realized the post I wrote this morning was not put onto my wall. Grr. Anywayyyss....

Today was my birthday! I am 24 years old. :) I got what I asked for this year. My mom bought me a bicycle which I am sooo excited to take out on the trails tomorrow! Just need to go buy some sunscreen, a padded seat and a milage counter. And.... I GOT THE JOB I APPLIED FOR!!! WHOO HOO! I'm not unemployed anymore! :)

Didn't do good on food today, but today was my pass for the week. Ended up having biscuits and gravy for "brunch" (2:30pm, 1st meal of day) and then buzzed 3 cheese pizza just now for "dinner"(12:30am) with my friend at the bar. Even if it didn't come to my daily total, I know that I was above and beyond the fat grams for the day. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day and I have a new bike to take out on the trails! I am sooo excited about this bicycle! And the fact that people keep doubting me about giving up on biking before I even begin makes me want to prove them wrong even more. :) Gotta get some sleep, been up since 5am.
Love you all! Will talk to you in the morning! Have a great night!
 
Happy Birthday to you!!!!
Happy Birthday to you!!!!
