My Next Obstacle

So now that I have tackled the task of obtaining a job (a great job!), it is now time to finally be rid of that dreaded "Freshman 15" that I've held onto for 4 years. Obviously everyone who goes away to college battles with this, some are lucky enough to get rid of it or even avoid. Unfortunately the rest of us, we are stuck with it until we make some major life changes.

My mission to drop this weight started last week. I successfully went to the gym Mon-Fri at the work gym. I have gotten into a routine of using my lunch break as my workout time. It was working great. It gives you a nice refresh for the afternoon and at the end of the day you can just go home and relax. Unfortunately this week I was unable to make it during lunch, but I did drag myself after work as to not loose the streak.  But now that I'm getting my gym routine down it's time to start what I call a pseudo-diet. Pretty much it just means eating healthy and not eating junk. It's not really a diet, I suppose, but to me it means sacrifice and that is what I believe a diet entails. I have inherited my mother's sweet tooth and find myself constantly eating candy and sweets. I think if I can cut this down drastically and keep up with the healthy eating on weekends I should be OK. But the weekends will definitely be a challenge. Wish me luck!

If any of you know of any good healthy recipes or foods I should try out, feel free to leave suggestions. They'd be much appreciated!

Greetings from Inside My Cubicle...

For those of you who actually follow this blog, you'll notice the change in title, format, and topics. Since I have finally landed a job (an awesome one, at that!) the previous topic is no longer relevant. I decided that while I was changing the topic, I might as well give the blog a facelift. I also decided I needed to create my own template and steer away from just another generic blog in cyberspace. I kept it clean cut and simple. I also designed the banner myself. So leave comments with your thoughts and suggestions.

So now it's time to get down to the juicy details about the new job! I am at the end of my second week here and I have nothing but good things to say! The people in the office are just awesome. Everyone is so nice, and it just has this family vibe to it. The work I’ll be doing sounds like exactly what I was looking to do. I’ve only had a few small tasks in assisting other with projects they are working on, but what I’ve seen looks good. So the final verdict is that it seems everything worked out to be the best situation possible. I love my job and I look forward to sticking around here for a long time. So my life motto is yet again confirmed... everything happens for a reason!
