Woo!
Couple things.....
I had to tighten my belt today! YAAAY!
I refuse to be part of the drama that goes on around me. That's all I will say. People need to come back to earth, and other people need to evaluate themselves. I'm one of those people, and I try to. Today I felt like screaming at the top of my lungs and I was extremely close to doing so. If I was alone I would have, but I may have hurt Scott's ears if I had at that point.
I am offically on my own at work, can't wait for the anxiety attacks.
That's all...

the beat goes on...
So it's been roughly a week and half since I joined the gym and things are going well. I swear I can already see a very slight difference in my legs. I know, I know, "but it's only been a week and a half!"... true if you aren't considering any of the few times I went for walks before I joined, or the fact that I am eating healthier than ever... I still have some of the bad foods now and then but for the most part, I get my protein, my whole grains, my fruits, my lean cuisuines, my slim fasts, etc... soooo in conclusion, I don't think it would be all that crazy of me to notice something slight.
I have been totally dedicated to this gym thing. It's great. Just goes to show that when I put my mind to something I can make it happen. My plan is to workout 5 days, 2 days off. And I do no less than 45 minutes of cardio, sometimes more depending on the day, and some situps. And I get sweaty and red and gross and it's super, really. In a strange way I like the scent of myself when I am working out, sounds gross, but really it isn't, and I'm not alone (right, Shayna?).
In other news, I had to go into work this morning for a Voice Team meeting. It's 6 of us, trying to make certain areas of our store better by utilizing feedback from associates and coming up with action plans. It's quite interesting and I like being a part of it. Alot of people are negative when we tell them what we do and the usual response is something along the lines of "like that's gonna happen" or "you know it's not going to do anything". I can't stand the negativity, but it makes me more aware of my own ability to be negative and it's something I would like to change. I think alot of times I don't hear myself.. and maybe there's a bit too much unpleasantries coming out of my mouth. Anyway, back to the Voice Team, I actually take it seriously and I like doing something I wouldn't normally do. A year ago I wouldn't have signed up for something I knew nothing about... let alone TALK! It's a good time... although I would have liked if it didn't take 2 hours out of my day off... oh well, I did get a free lunch out of it, thanks to Daren once again sharing one of his wraps with me. Mmmm.
Things to look forward to this weekend/week ahead... Daren's charity hockey game tomorrow... being plan-less on Sunday, which means it's wide open for whatever we feel like doing on another gorgeous day, Monday I get my glasses (WOOO!), not having to grocery shop or really clean cuz it's done!, and payday on Friday... so far, so good.

RANT
Ok so I wrote this last night in the wrong blog...
"Start rant.I know it shouldn't bother me as much as it does, and I really thought I had come to a good place with it, but it does bother me, and I am definitely not in a good place.I feel gross. I'm so much heavier and jigglier than I used to be. I'm lumpy and bumpy and I feel so unnattractive right now. I know it's not as bad is it could be and I realize I'm not an ugly person, but still, I can't find jeans... I search for that small selection of my size (whatever size that is because I certainly can't find it! Maybe it's awkwardly shaped size?) while these little stylish girls pick out little things here and there. I mean, really thin girls are gross, but I don't want to be really thin, I just don't want to wiggle in places that should not move. I don't want an ideal place to off-road to be on my back fat rolls. I would prefer that my thighs not look like the surface of some distant planet. Seriously, my legs are HUGE. Ahh and I don't want to be "that girl" who thinks about her weight and that's it. But - I seriously need to get in shape.As soon as the warm weather comes I am going to be walking all the time. Really. AND from now on I am going to journal EVERYTHING I eat in this blog. That's right, everyone will be able to see what I am eating. Maybe that will keep me from eating CRAP.The thing is this.. there will always be cupcakes, and ice cream, and candy. I don't need to eat it just because it is there. SO - I won't, because if I want to be able to feel confident that's what needs to happen. End rant. "
Well.... I joined the gym tonight. It's a good idea. I have a three month membership, so I can get myself to where I want to be and when summer rolls around I can do things outdoors like walk and sports and stuff... and when the cold weather comes back I can sign up for three more months... I shall update.....

we're comin' back for more....
I have Jason Mraz stuck in my head, but it's not a bad thing, he can stay there as loooong as he wants.
I washed my car today. Yep, I took some warm water and car wash and sponged the ol' girl down. Then I made repeat trips to the tub and sink filling a bucket and pot with water so I could splash/pour the water on the car in hopes that it will get most of the soap off.
I don't have much to write about, as always. Things are as they are. Which is good, I guess. Kinda quiet... the mess at work has been sorted out (I think) so as of now I am staying where I am, just taking on more responsibility (as in everything) and running the office myself without the title or pay increase.... hmmm... we'll see how long that lasts.
