Hello beautiful, lovely readers. I do apologize for the lack of blogs these past 2 days. I have been quite the busy girl.
On Monday, I started my new job as a receptionist (what else would I be? ;) ). Today was day 2, and I am having a hard time getting used to the schedule and finding time to blog. I used to have a good 45 minutes to catch up on blogs and blog myself, but by the time I get home from the gym in the morning, I only have MAYBE 10 minutes before I gotta go to work. Not only that, my gym time has been cut down to 30 minutes TOPS before I have to head back home to get ready for work. I start 30 minutes before I was at the last job, which isn't bad, but it still throws a wrench in my morning.
Next week I start my REAL work shift which I actually prefer. Right now I'm working from 8-5, and next week, it'll start my 7-4 schedule. That means I won't be able to go to the gym in the AM's, sadly. BUT, Nick has agreed to go to the gym with me after work, this makes things much better cause we will get to spend time together while sweating our hiney's off. I know some of you are thinking 7 AM is waaaay too early to start work (let alone, the time Im gonna have to wake up to get ready), but I'd much rather get off at 4 :)
In other news, holy guacamole (with chips please), my 10K is 11 friggin days away! Since I have had little time at the gym, all I have been doing is running since it is coming up so quickly. So I'm going to have to switch my workouts up so it incorporates more running than strength training, just until the 10K. However, I'm going to try leaving a tad bit earlier tomorrow morning for the gym, and see if I can squeeze in an hour again (30 cardio/30 strength training). Wish me luck!!
Stick around - I promise I'll be blogging more like I was, once I find a schedule that works for me :) But for now, I'm exhausted and am out like Ricky Martin (and p.s.- did he really think we didn't know he was gay?!)
C'mon, Ricky.....we knew
How is your Saturday going? Mine has gone splendid. Its 8:35pm and I plan on staying up until 12am! WOO HOO! I am such a rebel :) Ya see I am having lunch tomorrow with a good friend tomorrow, so I am not going to be able to make it to church which in turn will give me some sleeping in time.
I finished my first full week at work and man, was it draining!! I had sooo many things to learn and certain people in my office are super picky on how things are done. Which just adds to the stress even more cause I want to make a good impression since techincally I am on my 90 day probatio. Which mean after 90 days, I am up for review and I could get a raise :) Over all I think I am doing great and people like me. I just hate being the new person. I hate having to hold back who I realy am (fun loving of course! he he) until I get to know everyone's personality. I was so tired when I got home (was so used being able to sleep in) that I didn't even get to work out!! So today I had a plan of yoga and an ab attack class planned at my new gym! I actually ended up just running about 2 miles and doing some weights. Pretty much 2 sets of squats, leg lifts, leg extensions. I didn't feel my grove today which shocked me since I hadn't worked out for a whole week. You'd think I'd be in the mood. My brain was there, my heart was on vaca, following me on this one? I was really bummed about this cause yesterday I was totally into it and all excited since I was gonna be doing some yoga (LOVE IT!), but alas, not the case this morning. So tomorrow I plan on running my 3 miles before I go have lunch with my friend. So this weekend, I will most def be making it up.
Oh and tonight N and I met up with Bestie Bon Bon and her hubby and little baby Aly for some dinner at this place called Islands. SOOO delicious and they give you bottomless fries. I LOVE fries and I never get them since I try to be good and get a side salad, but I decided to treat myself :) O and did I mention they have the best margaritas?! DEEELISH. We sat and talked forever and then even went out to the cars and talked some more till poor little Aly was fussing since it was close to her bed time.
Have a great Saturday night blogger world!!
XOXO
I hope everyone's weekend went great. I had a very relaxed weekend. I didn't work out at all- GASP!! I know!! HOWEVER- On Saturday N and I went and got him signed up with a new phone plan with AT&T and got him an iphone 3GS! SO jealous! I want one so bad (with a hot pink rubber outer cover of course). I am hoping to get one for my birthday. Hint Hint to N...not that he doesn't know :D!
Oh and we signed up for California Family Fitness Gym!! How wonderful is this gym?!
It has SO many things to offer. Its open from 4:30 AM-12AM and it has 2 pools(HEATED!!) a spa, a food court, sauna/steam rooms booko workout equipment, classes(What I am super excited about!!) and TV's on all the cardio equipment :) I couldn't be happier. Oh and we'll have access to ALL of the clubs!! We got a really great deal thanks to a friend of mine who works there! I am so excited! Since I start my new job on Tuesday, I will be going to the gym tomorrow for sure!! The days of running on in the hot sweat room in my parents extra room are coming to an end, ha ha!! I think I am going to make my own mini schedule of what classes I want to do and when I just want to work out on my own. The guy who signed us up told us that we each have 3 free personal training sessions if we wanted, but N wants me to make a program for him, which I thought would be fun. The only bummer is we won't really be able to work out with each other except on the weekends since N will be working 12:30pm- 9:30pm M-F for the next 3 months.
Things are falling into place people!! Such a great feeling!! Its so great to be back in California. N and I have been back since the beginning of August and its like I never left! I couldn't be more happier!
This week I start my job and I am really excited. I talked to the office manager the other day and she said that they have a luncheon/initiation party on the first day they ever have someone new start and that person gets to pick a restaurant of their choice and we order in. I think that is a fabulous idea since it won't be that awkward "Hi." when someone walks by my desk. I have confidence that I will pick everything up, but starting a new job has always made me nervous just cause its the whole learning new things and developing new relationships with people. I will let you all know how it goes. I got GREAT deals at Ross and Marshalls last week when I went and got some new work clothes.
Tomorrow I am expecting a phone call from mine and N's realtor! EEEK!! So excited about this!! I will be discussing our wants and needs in a house and neighborhood. I am so excited!! I am going to also call her lender she really likes and see how much we can get pre-qualified for! So excited about this!!
I will be blogging from bed with my cup of coffee in bed tomorrow. My last day tomorrow as an unemployed woman enjoying her cup of coffee lazily in bed with the laptop on a Monday morning :)
