Wow, I seem to be on a roll with the blogging here lately….Ok, so here is my challenge…I want to see how long I can go without refined sugar.  This is my first challenge to myself.  As soon as I feel I have tackled that one, I am going to attack the next one!  I am counting on all of my buddies to help me in this.  I am bad about picking up crap in my bosses office or a donut or something….So I wonder how long I can do it….

I should have gone to the grocery store last night….I didn’t and as a result of that I had a Sonic toaster sandwich this morning…not dwelling on it…counting it in my points and moving on…

Sorry, I needed to vent a tad here….I really should not have my work email on my blackberry because then I just get emails that irritate me after I have left work for the day…So here is the back story….My company purchased a search on Monster.com….we get to search for one month and we get to view 1500 resumes…so we get all excited thinking we will be able to use them all…the idea was to get the researchers to give us key words and I search and scan in the results for them.  Well we have four labs and only two even pretended to participate.  The one that requested it, came by and actually had some of the researchers do some searching and that looks like it is going to be successful.  Those two folks probably viewed maybe 40 resumes out of 1500.  So I work all this overtime last week to try and capture as many resumes as I can…since we paid like 1800.00 for it…I still only got 800/1500 and it expires tomorrow.  I told my boss at the beginning of this week I was burnt out and had no more keywords left in me.  Only one of the remaining 3 labs supplied keywords…so I asked him how the resumes looked and all he did was bitch….they really weren’t what they were looking for…the links were so slow opening etc, etc….So this has taught me…that if we ever do this again…for this to be successful the researchers are going to have to do their own damn searching….I just feel like my time was wasted.  I know my boss appreciates it….but at the same time I feel like I did it all for nothing..Hopefully the lab that had folks search will be able to use some of the resumes they collected and I know they are at least interviewing folks…..I will get over this….I will…just needed to blog….

So I have been GOOD all week long.  Pretty much stayed within my points…stayed away from the bosses candy jar and have faithfully done my new HIP HOP Abs DVDS three days in a row which is unheard of and I have gained 3-4 pounds…OMG…just a little shocking and depressing.  I will get over it because I know I am doing good things….but damn….

I did my hip hop abs again yesterday in its entirety.  The scale is not being “nice”, but I know it will get past that.  I feel good and that is what matters.  Food has been okay.  I don’t really have much more to share this morning…just working fast and furiously getting ready for recruiting and looking forward to my 4 day weekend !

Good afternoon to all of my buddies.  Nothing exciting going on here.  I did ok with food yesterday and today.  I did get up and eat something in the middle of the night *slaps hand*….but other than that no major catastrophes.  I did do the entire hip hop abs workout last night which is an accomplishment. 

**had to get this blog out before Debbie emailed me….btw, where are you today my buddy?

hahahaha.  I told Debbie I was gonna blog more and she is making sure of it!

 Lets see, yesterday was okay.  I tried to stay on my eating a snack in between meals to keep the metabolism up…That went okay.  The snacking in the middle of the night has gotten less so that is good.  I actually read it is good to be hungry in the middle of the night because that is when your body goes for the stored fat….

 I am feeling a little run down today…allergies and asthma yuck.  Have decided to blow off the overtime unless I feel like it.  If these researchers are not going to take the time to take advantage of the tools we have given them for the month (Monster.com)….then I am not going to bust my hump to try and view all of these resumes for them.  It is not worth tiring myself out that much.  Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the opportunity for overtime because as a state worker we don’t get it much….but…last week just completely wore me out…and then I had to babysit my nephew on Saturday…thank GOD for Spongebob…:)

I hope everyone has an excellent Monday….

I really am determined to get on here everyday and blog.  I want to try and catalogue positives and negatives for my day…just to kind of get a feel for where I am …..I feel good…taking control….

 I am a little tired today from working overtime this week and I am having trouble concentrating today.  I did have a brownie from the MIS folks next door, but on the other hand I am drinking my water.  I am ready for today to be over and for the weekend to begin.

I hope everyone and all of my buddies have a good weekend.

Thanks

Good evening to all of my buddies.  One of my goals is to get on and blog more and be a better buddy; send emails to long lost buddies and catch up…  So the good the bad and the ugly of today….the guaranteed student loan people are calling…i will get it figured out I always do.  My brother was my savior today….helped me out of a bind….it is the little things that mean a lot….i am an admitted diet coke addict and i ALWAYS make sure I have what I need…I get a paycheck of sorts on Friday (thanks Lara) and some how my diet coke allowance was gone…and I ran out…I know what all you die hard water fans are going to say….”what an awesome opportunity to quit”..not me..I became grumpy two days ago just thinking of running out.  I carefully portioned….and I still ran out.  I am tired and working alot of overtime…and if the worst thing I was going to do is drink too many diet cokes…..my brother bought me some to tide me over.  I know this is indeed the bottom of the monetary barrel and indeed very pathetic but it is a bright spot in my day….also, my sister bought me a thank you gift that I didn’t think was coming because she never got and email saying it was shipped….and well I had a UPS slip on my door today….YAY me….so when I do get a chance to go by the apartment office I will have my VERY OWN HIP HOP ABS!…Love it, Love it, Love it

Well, the bankruptcy is done….and I went to the dentist last week and I have a cracked tooth that BROKE and now it needs a crown.   Seems to be stable now.  Had planned to get that done when I get paid on the first and then….I had a nightmare happen with my bank account.  I just hate this.  This morning I was on top of the world, ready to take on everything.  Thank god my boss is letting me work overtime :)..Just a momentary lull in my mood.  I will be back….
