Well the weekend is here and I have to say it has been interesting so far. Jerry's sister wants a "new" car and is expecting her mother to buy it for her...so there is much drama. She is totally spoiled for an 18 year old...ugh...Jerry is trying to talk his mom into standing tough...she offered her old car to his sister but that wasn't "GOOD ENOUGH" for her....what a brat!!! Jerry's mom deserves a new car herself...I hope she has some balls and stands her ground on this one...I really do. I will buy her old car if it comes down to that...I would be greatful to even have something to get me from here to there...my car is doing ok...I don't know how much more life it has in it....it is a 1999 has 175,000 miles on it but hasn't had an problems in about a year....
I probably just doomed myself my mentioning that...and it will probably explode now...lol...haha...
Not funny...now that I think about it...

YAY! Finally! This was a BUSY week. Today I did daycare for a bit but it was pretty low key because all the kids left early. I just traced and cut letters for a few hours and then I was off to teach in South Elgin. I subbed for a teacher who is on vacation. The first class went well...the second class was so so....the two older girls didn't seem t0o enthusiastic about the class or me...but I tried my best to grasp their attention and trust..I think by the end of class they were warming up a bit. I know that having a different teacher can be totally weird. I have to sub there again next week and then I'm done. I really do love the kids at my park district...they are so friendly and well behaved....the park district workers are very nice and helpful as well.
I still haven't heard back from that job regarding a phone interview. I will probably call on Monday and see if the position is even still available.....I hope they aren't stringing me along.
*YAWN*
I'm tired...Jerry is closing tonight...I will probably read a book and then call it a night.
Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! :)

| Thursday Already |
| 04.28.05 (6:25 am) [edit] |
I can't believe it is Thursday already, this week has just flown by. Well I'm still waiting to hear back from the other job about the phone interview...hmmm...what the hell is taking them so long??? I think the interview will be with a different store manager so some coordination probably needs to take place.
Things have been going better with my boss...she was quite pleasant on Tuesday. I did a couple library workshops with another teacher yesterday. We had fun...the parents and children were all very nice and responsive to the program. It was a good time. I just assisted more than anything since it was my first "workshop" but the workshops are really just abbreviated classes...I could have taught it! The workshop was at a library in the town the other teacher teaches at so I'm sure she will get some new enrollments which is great for her and the program as well.
Hmmmm, what else. Not to much is happening. I need to go through my supplies before I go to work today. I needed to see if I need anything for tomorrow, I will be subbing for a teacher who's going on vacation. It shall be interesting to see how children who've had a different teacher respond to me. Wish me luck!
Ok, well I had better run...I've got lots to do this morning.

| Forgive and forget |
| 04.26.05 (5:42 am) [edit] |
Today is my first day back at the daycare since the misunderstanding...things have felt a bit awkward since then but I don't want them to be. I'm going to forgive and forget concerning last week and move on. Hopefully this will be a better week.
I called again about the other job yesterday to insure she got the message I left and she did. She is trying to set up the phone interview and then should be getting back to me very soon...so we will see what happens!!!
I've been so grumpy lately...and I need to snap out of it. I think the whole ordreal last week has allowed me to better realize how "unstable" jobs and people can be. You think you know a person/employer and then bam...the real self comes out and it's like whoa...I thought this person was a certain way but in actuality they have different motives. I knew this already...so I guess this is just a reconfirming of what I already knew...however some people/bosses are tolerable and others not.
UGH...
ok I'm :)
Postive thoughts for today...

| Another Lazy Day |
| 04.24.05 (5:15 pm) [edit] |

Man have I been lazy lately! I was feeling kinda icky this weekend so I had figured I would take it easy. Hopefully this week will be better than the last. Tonight I'm going to pray my little heart out that I hear back from the lady I interviewed with tomorrow. I hope, I hope, I HOPE!!!!! If I don't hear from her tomorrow morning I will give her another call and see if the position is still available. I think I'm going to buy Espresso a new cage on ebay because she is outgrowing her other and it is too noisy! She's been driving us nuts with her digging and a wire cage will put an end to that! However, I will have to get a mat so she doesn't get hocks on her feet. The things I do for me pets...I tell ya...they are treated like royalty! :D I played with my sister's puppy Chewy....he is super cute but full of trouble! Man, I'm broke....I need this job...totally need it.

I did the SamBody workout and worked on abs as well. Ok, I'm still bored...that hasn't changed but my tblog is going to. I want to add some things and spiff it up a bit. I'm changing the whole idea of my blog...at first it was strictly going to be related to fitness stuff...but then I decided it will be a bit more universal. I'm also looking for new tblog friends because well one that I had left and the other never ever posted so consider this an open invite to be my fried. :P
I've been thinking I REALLY want this other job and it's driving me nuts!!! I'm hoping I didn't pass on something that I should have pounced on. Even after I had been pressured into daycare full-time...I still hesitated on calling this other place back with an answer because I had a feeling that I didn't want to tell them no and I was right about that because I wanted to pursue the job further. I should listen to myself more, really I should. It would saved me alot of trouble.
::kicks self::
I feel so crappy today and I know why but I'm not gonna go there, lol....
Anywho, I should really do some laundry but I'm so damn lazy today.

I am so bored and so lazy today. Jerry is at work until 11pm and I miss him. I wish he was here with me. What have I accomplished...Well I worked out...took care of my rabbit, and folded some laundry. I watched Vanity Fair which was an interesting movie. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. I guess it was ok...I thought it was more of a "love" story, the end was not what I expected. I can hear Jerry's sister's new puppy yipping away...yes she got a puppy also...I guess it's the trendy thing for irresponsible teens to be doing these days...I guess my sister hasn't been holding up to her end of the puppy deal as well. Well at least according to my mom but those two haven't been getting along so who knows. I barely have time to care for Espresso and myself let alone a puppy. They are soooo! However, I'm more of a cat person. Ugh, I feel like crap today!!! I have no energy or will to do anything. Maybe I will do the SamBody workout tonight....I did work out this morning but since then I have just been sitting so it might help me get some more energy for the night. Who knows???

| New Approach |
| 04.23.05 (4:29 am) [edit] |
I've got this new workout journal which I'm going to use to keep track of my nutrition and workout everyday instead of posting everyday here...however I will still post ever so often to let everyone know how I'm doing with my fitness goals. I'm so consumed with everything else right now. My wedding is just around the corner and I'm trying to figure out this whole job mess. I'm just going to get busier from here on out but I will try not to neglect my T-Blog. I like my T-blog! 8) *yawn*
Jerry has to work today so I'm thinking of what I could do to keep myself busy. I will work out of course...I need to re-evaluate my fitness plan and goals....I will do that..What else..I have to take care of Espresso ( my rabbit), do laundry, read maybe, and browse through jobs just in case this other position is no longer available because I took to0 long to contemplate but I sure hope it is...because I was really interested in it.

So I was going to teachc daycare full-time because I felt obligated to....I was kind of pressured to make a decision on Tuesday at least I feel I was. I said I would do 40 hours come Summer but realized that I REALLY wanted to pursue the other retail position as well but felt backed into a corner. It is really hard to schedule in two part-time jobs because employers get irritated because you are not as flexible. However this is MY life and I want to do two different things because I haven't found anything I can do for 40 hours a week that doesn't become repetetive and boring. I like to switch gears. Technically I will have three part-time jobs but two of them are for the same employer which makes it a little easier. Yesterday I had a bit of confrontation with my current boss...I guess she could tell I was not happy and I wasn't because I felt pressured into committing to more hours with her because she didn't want me to pursue the other job. For me this is about being happy...about what works in my life, and of course money. We want to be able to afford to move so badly! There has been some tension this week between her and I but I tried to clarify it a bit yesterday...although it was hard because of course I don't want to lose my job. *SIGH*
The joys of working. :?

| 04.21.05 (6:28 am) [edit] |
My SamBody video came in the mail yesteday. I skipped the beginner and just ordered the advance since I've taken some dance in the past and know some basic moves. The video is different that I expected. There are 3 routines which, the moves aren't hard to grasp they are just done without any explanation and you move through the choreography pretty quick but I'll have it done with a few days and than I'll be bored again...
Well some things have changed on the job front. I was going to take that job selling bath, body, beauty products...however...my current employer informed me that starting in May we will have 3 new kids full-time at the daycare thus I can have full time hours and my pay will increase by two dollars...so I decided that would be easier and a better route for me although I was kinda of still interestd in the other part-time position but there is no way I could balance that on top of daycare and teaching classes....I will already be working over 40 hours a week as it is. I guess some things just aren't meant to be.
Now we can afford to move into our own apartement! We are going to go look on Monday!!!
and I can probably afford to take a ballet class again if I can work it into my schedule. There is a dance studio litteraly 5 minutes from the daycare so it will work out perfect if I can find a class early in the morning or later in the evening. Yay!

| Interview |
| 04.18.05 (7:40 am) [edit] |
I went on my interview this morning and it went rather well...Only thing is the position pays less than I was hoping but there is opportunity for bonuses. The manager was really nice. down to earth, and willing to work around my current job which I totally love and am not willing to give up. Hmmm....There is some intense product knowledge training that comes with the position however I believe I can work it into my already hectic schedule. I shouldn't have a problem. How come all of the jobs I really want and would feel happy in involve me taking a pay cut??? At least it's an hour rate and not commission. The position is a retail position selling cosmetic products that incorporate essential oil, plant/herbal extract, etc. Think upscale Bath and Body Works. There is a team sales atmosphere which is nice. If the store makes its sales everyone has the opportunity to get a bonus. I'm guessing ones percent of the bonus would still be based on what one sold individually in order to make it fair, but I will have to inquire about that. Location is great....the store is on en route to and from my other position...and only about 10 minutes tops from where I live. I've been crunching numbers and Jerry and I could move out...we will just be on a tight budget...which is ok...we aren't big spenders to begin with. The only obstacle is that I will/ we will need to purchase a new car eventually but once again...there will be more opportunity at both positions if I want and can handle more hours. Ok! Now that I've thought this out...I will discuss it with Jerry but I'm pretty sure I'm going to call back tomorrow and move ahead with this. I will have to set up a phone interview and if that goes well...which I'm sure it will...then it is all go. I really feel this is a good fit for me! I'm excited!

| 04.16.05 (8:37 pm) [edit] |
We were going to go hiking at Missippi Palisades State Park...however when we got near the park it started to rain. We had already driven about 2 hours...or more..so we decided to keep on going and ended up in Dubuque, Iowa. I've never been to Iowa before...We ended up eating at IHOP and then started our four hour venture back home. We were bummed about the weather being so crappy out that way. We did get to climb a lookout tower where supposedly you could see as far as Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin although I couldn't tell which was which. They all look the same from up there. Lots of farms and fields. I bet that state park would have been awesome, I guess we will have to go another time. We missed beautiful weather out our way....too bad...
Tomorrow I'm suppoed to go with my sister to "finance" a puppy since she is under 18 years of age. Yes, PetLand finances dogs now...Interesting.....yes...interesting. Hmmmm....what else...I'm just killing some time before I head to bed. I should head to bed soon, I don't want to throw off my sleeping schedule and get all off balanced. Yes, I'm going to bed now.

I don't know what the game plan is for today. I know Jerry and I would like to do something outdoorsy since it is going to be in the 70's....Maybe hike...but I wanna go somewhere different, just have to find out where a good place to go is. We usually go around Oregon, IL...Dekalb County...Hmmm...Today was a cardio day. I've finished for the day however Jerry is still at the gym and I'm awaiting his return.
Cardio Day
just under an hour of Crunch Cardio Salsa
I really enjoy latin dancing. I want to get the beginner SamBody video if I can find it. I think SamBa would be great...there is a short Samba section in the video I have and it really gets the heart rate up there. I'm beginning to get bored with my current videos so I need to switch it up a bit.

| First Weigh In |
| 04.15.05 (4:49 am) [edit] |
It has been exactly a week since I started this new fitness program. I decided that Fridays will be my weigh in day. Like I said I'm primarily concerned with building muscle and developing a tighter body. I do have some body fat I hope to lose in the process however I'm not aiming for a certain number on the scale because I don't know what that number will be. I'm fine with weighing more because of muscle...it's not an issue. Also I have a wedding dress that fits me perfectly now and my wedding is in 3 months. Despite taking my cardio down and eating bad this week I still managed to lose weight. Hmmm...
Last Weeks Weigh In
147lbs
This week 145.6lbs
Workout for today (Back, Shoulders, Chest)
Double arm rows- 3X15 (10lbs each arm)

| In through the nose... |
| 04.14.05 (5:34 am) [edit] |
Out through the mouth. Breathing correctly has gotten me through the last three days. Fear causes us to hold our breath, thus making us sick. I would get so scared and panick before a speech/presentation. I would unconsciously stop taking in enough air which would lead to me feeling scared, panicky, and sick not allowing me to communicate effectively. I'm still a "quiet" person by nature but am not AS skittish as I used to be. I wish then someone would have told to breath "In through your nose, out through your mouth" because it helps so much.
I used cleansing breaths yesterday. I needed to breathe consciously because I was afraid. The first challenge I overcame was my tots class. This was my first class teaching with parents not only present but actively participating. I usually have older kids 5-7 years of age but in this class I have four two year olds!!!! OI! They are so cute though, so cute but attention spans are still developing so it is quite a challenge to keep them attentive. Yes, quite a challenge. I was a little frazzled myself since the park district let me into my room rather late so I had to rush to set up. Frist day of a new class is always tough, new location, new people, and in this case slightly different material to be taught. I really enjoyed it though! :D
Right after my class finished I went with my mom and family to see my grandma. She had some more tubes removed and could talk quite well. According to everyone she is in much better condition than before however she still has cancer that has spread...and the doctors are giving us the run around. At this point nothing can really be done because she is recovering from the internal bleeding caused by a test she was given. I doubt she will be able to make to my wedding. I don't know what will happen because the doctors are all saying different things. I'm still trusting in the spirit that what will happen will be for the best.
::sigh::
I'm exhausted but I have things that need to be done before work so I had better get going.

Yesterday I felt like I was gonna lose it. I feel better today, I'm coming to terms with it all. I will go visit my grandma after I teach my class. I have a tots class today in which parents are involved in the class as well so it wouldn't be very good if I'm sad during a high energy positive thinking class...I don't know how bad my grandmas condition is. I know they doctors said that there is not much they can do for her. I spoke with my sister and she said grandma can't speak...just mumbles...I'm sure it will be devistating for me. I was pretty close to her and just saw her pretty vibrant on Easter. *sigh* A friend told you just have to trust in the spirit, trust some more, and keep trusting until it feels better.
I'm trusting.
Ok....here's todays info.

| The worst |
| 04.12.05 (7:14 am) [edit] |
My mom just called...My grandma went in for a procedure last night and she is not doing well. Apparently the cancer has spread all over. The doctors say she will never walk again and this is it. According to them there is nothing they can do for her. Radiation/chemo won't help. Basically there prescription is to get a hospice and let her waste away. I guess if there's nothing else they can do...then that's all they can do. I'm just angry. She is the one person who deserved to see me get married. One of the people I would have most hurt if I eloped like I originally planned. The irony in all this is the day I'm getting married is her birthday and she gave me all this jewelry that I wanted her to see me wear. There has to be something I can do. UGh...I feel so sick...It's going to be hard to stay strong at work and learn all this shit for my new class...this is going to be really really hard. I'm going to go see her tomorrow before my class. I will just tell my mentor/boss that I cannot come for those two hours of daycare which should be fine because she was just giving me the hours to entice me to teach the class...not because I actually NEED to be there since she will be home all day.

| 04.12.05 (5:32 am) [edit] |
Here I am, it is a new day. How do I feel today? Well I'm happy it is raining. I love the rain being a fire sign and all I think it helps to put out that fire inside and just lets me mellow for a bit. There is a lot going on from my grandma's health situation, to wedding planning, to my job which is fairly new still. Today I have to be at work at noon, I'm going to train for an hour and a half for my class which starts tomorrow and then I will teach daycare from 1:30-5:30PM like I usually do on Tuesday. Jerry ( my fiance) also works until 5:30 so I figure we can have dinner when we get home and relax together. I love him so! :wink: Yay! Today is a cardio day, I sure do love my cardio!
Nutrition for today
1 serving of ThermodyamX
blueberry bagel
small piece of pizza bed
3 large strawberries...Don't feel so well..after the bad news...forcing myself to eat.
2 small pieces of pepperoni pizza
hot tea with 1 tablespoon honey
3 larger pieces of pizza
1 chocolate chunk cookie
I didn't eat very healthy today......I didn't eat much earlier and then came home to pizza and ate to0 much. Today will be my free day for the week. I usually allow myself one free day but usually don't take it, except if there is something really stressful going on.

Grandma is not doing well. She was realeased from the hospital today and then readmitted. She has been fighting colon cancer and is now having liver problems. We are waiting for the official test results to be read. However the family doctor told my mom Grandma is very sick leading me to believe the cancer has spread.:cry: I was nauseated all day...which would explain me eating so little during the day and then having a huge dinner. I've had disturbed feelings all day....just knew something bad was going to happen. By the time I had gotten home from teaching class I tried to write it off to not feeling well but I just spoke with my mom who gave me all the bad news. I want my grandma to see me get married...She has been so excited and has really supportive. I will pray.

This is my first entry here. My whole purpose in creating this blog is to inspire and motivate myself and maybe others will be inspired to reach and maintain their fitness goals as well. To make a long story short, I've lost about 50lbs since my teen years and am now focusing on building muscle and staying fit. I don't want to look like a female bodybuilder, they have way more muscle than I desire however I'm inspired by the softer toned/muscular bodies of fitness models such as Fawnia Mondey. www.fawnia.com Fawnia inspires me. I don't want to BE her but I strive for a body similar to hers however I'm taller and have different genetic make up so my goal is to continue lowering my bf% while building muscle. I will use this blog to record my nutrition and exercise daily. I will also post my thoughts about ongoings in my personal life since they are intertwined with my fitness/health goals. Please feel free to browse and comment if you'd like. Thanks for visiting!!!
Sincerely,
Fitness Goddess :D
