365 days just work...work it girl

Funny how things are just as they are to be, nothing you can do to change it.

I laughed yesterday at my job interview when they asked (of course) what my strengths and weaknesses were.

This is an old tactic, standard interview question in which I used to fret over.

This time when asked I chuckled and said....

"I am going to be completely honest with this....because as I get older I have learned my strength is also my weakness and often bites me in the butt.  Mine is work ethic. Mine, I have realized, is somewhat higher than most and although I know this, and also know people work differently, it still often puts a crimp in my arrow"

I got the job.

I got home and no one asked how it went, did I get the job?

....maybe no one even knew I applied, or was going to the interview. 

No celebration or congrats.  

Which is fine, just made me laugh a bit.  One of those exciting then, who the fuck cares moments.

This is job 3 and I am picking it up as a per diem, to start, to make sure I enjoy it.  I will stay as long as possible at the main job, continue to pick up treadmill shifts and then slide this job in 2-3 times a month.  Goal is to pay off my school debt (which really isn't much) in a quicker manner.

debt free would be good right now...

As Murphy's law has it....

Someone came to look at the house radiant heater. It is as old as the house....and obviously cannot be repaired, must be replaced...I stood there and laughed on the inside as the young guy said,

"well, the estimate for the complete energy efficient redo is about $12k"

hahahah

FML

maybe a 4th job is needed?

so, what did I do....

1. I laid on the couch and admired my beautiful grey hair...

2. knitted

3. cried and laughed

4. looked again at apartments

5. sent some fuck you's in my mind to a few people 

6. texted a few sweet nothings to a few

7. home workout

3/2/19

when I finally got my self together and remembered regardless of all of it...that I still am training to run in a few months and the training schedule says I have to full body train....

Which I usually do, but missed the gym class

So, 30 pushups

I really need to do them 3 different ways but I just did not have the strength today

and a ton of 1 legged butt lifts.

Even though a girlfriend said, no one cares what you look like ...I agree.... but I care a little, for myself....

seriously.

I like strong legs and shoulders. and an ok butt, with or without standard cellulite.

plus it makes ya feel better

I encourage you to give it a try

pushups and pullups

Life is grand and things just have to happen the way they are supposed to...

if its meant to be it will

absolutely nothing to dwell on or try to change because you really just can't 

I keep thinking the soul knows the direction and the heart sometimes fucks with that path....

just gotta let it be

xo

write ya later

go do some pushups

Eat well...be well,feel well

If you are not eating this stuff...you should be. Greek yogurt. I must say it is an acquired taste, but so are martinis...so work out it. it is 0% fat and 15g of protein. I add some ground flaxseed to get my Omega-3's and it does the job. I'm a bit of a lazy purist. I never really add anything to my healthy foods. For instance, oatmeal...i eat it just cooked with water and I add flaxseed...no sugar,honey, fruit...nothing. So I do the same with yogurt. My taste buds are easily confused and if I start adding yummy unhealthy stuff, then I have a hard time eating regular flavors, plus I like to save as many fat calories for really good stuff (beer).

I started training for a half marathon. I picked the Boulder Backroads in September which gives me more than ample time to be ready. 13.1 miles...Everyone who runs says, if you run 5 miles you can run 13. This makes no sense in my mind, but I'll roll with it. All I can think is,"13.1 miles is like getting up, getting ready for work, and then bypassing the car or bus and running to work." Makes it sound miserable.

For the training I am using a schedule at marathonrookie.com. My first little goal is a 5k around the 4th of July...then the 1/2...hell, maybe I'll be ready for the whole marathon by then.

I bought new shoes...am going to revamp my diet...and off I'll run. Did you know for every mile you run you burn at least 100 calories...AT LEAST!!!! Sweeet. Running and 30 minute Shred.

do you want to virtual train with me?
