Hey gang. The holidays are here. I've been busy as usual but I'm still going to the gym and eating much healthier. I know some of you are wondering what happened to the Holiday Challenge. Unforutnately, one night as I was updating the page, something happened to my computer and I lost the chart. I was upset to say the least because I put so much work into it. Well, I will be doing another challenge starting January 1st. It's going to be the New Year Challenge. I'm excited about it because I am going to be following Bill Philip's Body for Life Program. I'm excited about this program because it seems to be very reasonable and the results are incredible. As you can see, I've updated my home page. I like this look - those butterflies were beginning to make me vomit!!!
The job has been going great. I'm really finding my niche and I'm beginning to like the ppl. It's a cool department and we have lots of fun. I knew that getting adjusted to people and their personalities would be the most difficult part. I'm excited about traveling in January to work a few of the conferences. I'm looking forward to the challenge.
Other than that, life is good. I'm realizing that though there will be down times in life, you have to enjoy the good times even more to make up for the bad times. I am happy that although it's the holiday season, I'm not getting out of hand with eating or with stressing myself out. I'm even going to have a "get together" at my place and I'm looking forward to seeing old friends. I will be finishing up my X-mas shopping this week and will take the rest of the time to enjoy the holidays for once.
I hope you are all doing well. Please enjoy this season - it's not about receiving presents it's about celebrating our Lord Jesus Christ and giving of yourselves. With that in mind, I will probably be talking to you all after the holidays! I will probably be too swamped to updated this page any sooner. God bless and Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
November 26
I can't believe it's been over a month since I've written. I've been so busy with all the changes going on in my life. I can hardly believe it's been this long. I really miss updating my page and just venting to you guys. I hope I still have some readers out there but if I don't -that's o.k. This is for me - I have to remember that because keeping this journal is another tool that I'm using to help me with my weightloss and not to just entertain you folks. I hope that my page does offer some encouragement to others however.
Well, what have I been up to? Well besides for starting a new career - nothing much :) For those who don't know, I started my new job on October 23rd. I'm a Corporate Events Coordinator. This job is STRESSFUL!!! There's a lot to do and not a lot of time in the day to do it. I'm managing though. The hardest part I find, about starting a new gig is getting used to the people. I am adjusting but I really dislike the first 3 months because you're still new and people are looking at you through a magnifying glass. A bit intimidating, I know. I work with a good bunch of people and I am learning a great deal from them - which is good. Eventually, I would like to start planning my own meetings but I'm in no rush to start doing that yet. This is a good opportunity for me and I am busting my butt to get the most out of it.
Other than that, my exercise and diet have both suffered due to these changes. I haven't gained weight, however, I haven't lost any either. I'm NOT giving up. Starting tomorrow, I am trying Bill Phillip's Body for Life Plan. I don't officially start til January 2001 but I'm getting a head start. The transformations that I've seen have been truly increadible. I know I can do it - I have to just be willing to commit myself to this plan. I'm soooo TIRED of getting on a diet - I just want to change my life -no looking back. I have to do this for myself - I don't think I will be truly happy until I become physically and mentally healthy.
How have you all been doing? I hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving - mine was alright - nothing to brag about. I hardly ate anything - I just wasn't that hungry. I hope Christmas is the same because I'm on a mission to get into shape. I know I've said this a million and one times - but I'm just going to do it. That's that.
Well, I hope you all keep in touch. E-mail me anytime to say hi and to let me know that you're sitll reading!! Take care and God Bless!
