So, I think I've set into a groove. I'm still losing weight little by little. Some of my jeans that haven't seen the light of day in a while, have made their way out of the closet. Its been good to see them.
But, in other news, on the job front...........I GOT A JOB!!! Its part-time at the ball park here in Jackson. I am ushering for the 2010 Diamond Jaxx season. So, a lot of things flag on this one. Part-time. Temporary. The Jaxx very rarely hire full-time positions from the street. I'm hoping to land something by the end of the summer. I'd love to be added to their regular staff.
So, now comes the shopping. I need new sneakers, khakis pants/shorts, and other random things. But, I have time for some. These aren't things I have to get all at once.
Many have asked about the Nissan position. My 2nd interview was scheduled for 10am Friday. They called me after 9am to tell me they filled the position Thurs, and told me not to bother showing up. I was furious.
Anytime Fitness called me and said they had narrowed all the current applicants down to me and one other person. However, they're still accepting applications. So, we'll see from them. Hopefully I hear from them by Wednesday, because I have a 3rd interview with Best Buy. I think I'll get offered that job, but who knows. But, I would prefer to have the gym job.
I am definitely seeing some light at the end of the tunnel :).
Until next time...
Day 81
I had a job Wed that blew me away. What an opportunity.
There's a gym opening in Milan, which is about 20 minutes from my house. I WANT TO WORK HERE SO FLIPPING BAD!!!!! On my way to the interview, I couldn't help but start making marketting plans in my head. After the interview I'm frustrated beyond belief.
The owner told me I gave a good interview. I was me. I couldn't help but be anything but me. Michael (the owner) was hard. He kicked my butt...and loved it. HARD. But he's got A LOT of money invested in this place, so I totally get it. However, holy crap. He was thorough. He was specific. However, he coached me through the whole thing. While, this probably makes no sense whatsoever......I WANT THIS JOB!!!!
For those who've talked to me since I've been working out. There's so much I could eventually see myself doing. I think this could be the first step. However, he wants someone that is a "good fit." You know...business experience w/ a personal training license. I want to get my certification in personal training. I want to work with people in the field of wellness. Oh, how I want this job!!!!!
Michael told me over and over not to kick myself and get frustrated. But, those that know me realize that I can't help it. I've replayed this interview over and over again in my head. I just want to get to do it again. I want it so bad I can't see straight. Michael would be a fantastic boss. So will Lisa.
I think the part that frustrates me, is that it felt like I had the job in the bag. Yet, once again, I get the, "we still have some more interviews to do." AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGH!!!
And on another hand...I had an interview today at the Nissan dealership here in town. I'd be a Sales Writer. People tell me why they brought their car in. I put it into the computer, and the tech checks out their vehicle. The tech comes back and tells me whats wrong. I convince the customer what to do to their vehicle.
The lady who told Jason about the job (to tell me) said it was full time with benefits. Full time. Benefits. After the interview (that took less than 10 minutes), it sounds like a fantabulous position for me. Maybe this is why I haven't had any luck. Maybe this is the position I was supposed to have. This is definitely something I would be successful at.
I think I got the job. I have to talk to my interviewer's boss theoretically on Monday. She's going to call me back to let me know when.
This is crazy to me. I found a job that I think will be perfect, and the same day God drops one in my lap. Basically hands it to me on a silver platter. Just another lesson in what we think is best, isn't always.
I googled the heck out of the job, and it doesn't appear to have been publicly posted yet. They're open from 7:30-5 Mon-Fri, 8-1 Sat. This would be perfect for Wed nights. Definitely not a time frame where I'd have to rush to church. Seemed like people I'd enjoy working with. Did I mention it'd be good money?

Day 75
Well, there I go letting my blog go. I am not letting myself go yet. Or my goals. The snow kicked my butt, and made me get cabin fever. It seems that just when we got the first batch of snow to melt, the second batch came to take its place. Was definitely nice to build a snowman, HOWEVER Woodie does NOT like snow...
To make a long story short...I'm officially ready for spring.
Things have picked back up with church. Bill's been busy with work, so I've been running the show. Been fun getting to know the kids. Definitely get to see some of their colors they normally hide when "real" adults are around. Tomorrow (today) is Acolyte training at church. Should have eight or nine kids. Pretty excited about it. Definitely put quite a few man hours into planning this. Its the first opportunity to get to "re-prove" myself, so to speak. It would be awesome if the kids would fly right tomorrow.
Back in the gym hardcore. Been trying some new things. Trying to switch it up to see how my body responds. Been hitting it hard on those ab bench things; making myself use the one with an incline. Cut down my cardio a little, but have been hitting the weights harder. Trying to really focus on my abs, and back. Since using the ab bench, I have noticed my entire back is sore. Not painful. Just sore. I can tell the muscles are getting stronger.
I'll start measuring again next week. Had some really great leads for jobs. Hopefully something will come of one or two of them. There's a new gym hiring, and I'd LOVE that. I would appreciate all prayers.

Day 63--February 1st
Ok...Snow sucks at life. I have been griping all winter about not getting any of the white dust. If I start doing it ever again...tell me to shut my trap.
I've got cabin fever worse than ever. I can't go to the gym. I couldn't go to Nashville. I love my husband more than anything. However, we've been stuck around each other basically non stop for five days. I don't drink a lot, especially since I started working out. But, I want a Smirnoff or something similar. And, guess what...there are none in this house...BOOOOO!
Did I mention I haven't been to the gym since Thurs? Its driving me nuts. The elliptical is calling my name. I refuse to measure myself this week. I flat out refuse. I will again next week. Don't think I've gained weight while being cooped up, but I don't want to see if I have hahaha.
Plus, to make matters worse for my mood...I'm PMSing so bad I can't see straight. Totally feel sorry for Jason. Everything is ticking me off. I need to take some aggression out on the weights soon. Hopefully that can happen tomorrow.
Pretty excited about Sunday's big game!! GO COLTS! Got a few friends coming over. Especially excited about Jamie coming. Will be good to see him, plus he's going to go work out with me, and give me pointers. Hopefully he has some tricks up his sleeve.
