Since Christmas week, I've been eating too much, drinking lots of soda, eating foods I know are bad for me, snacking all day and not moving my ass any more than necessary.
........ I don't like the way I feel...........
There - I admit it.... I look and feel like shit - and I have no delusions about the fact that its 100% my own fault. There's something simultaneously shameful and liberating about not only knowing that fact, but admitting it to strangers on the internet (and Roxy, of course)
My dear Roxy is my inspiration to eat better and move my ass to lose this weight!! She has set herself goals, and is truly living the path she has set for herself. I'm SO proud of her progress - and she is my inspiration to walk a similar path. :-D
****SUBJECT CHANGE****
I've been giving a lot of thought lately to my career path. Ten years ago I dreamt only of being a stay-at-home Mommy & wifey. Of course, given the choice, I'd still take that deal today in an heartbeat! However, the chemical changes that have occured in my brain through the biology of aging have helped me to think more rationally. I still don't like the fact that I have to leave my house, husband and kids every day for the majority of the day, but I can accept it and live with it. We are fortunate to never have had to subject our children to the horrors of daycare - so with that positive fact alone, I feel a thousand percent better!
However, back to my opening point... now that I've made peace with the fact that I must work in order to keep a roof over my children's heads, I've decided that I may as well make myself happy... or make myself a lot of money... or maybe both... I'll shoot for both, but hey - let's be realistic! LOL !! By a series of strange circumstances, I've ended up several years into an insurance career. First I worked in the processing center, left to stay home with jiblet #2 for a little while, got a job in an insurance agency completely by accident (where I studied hard and was awarded with a license to bind & examine personal insurance and monthly bonuses) all of which landed me right back in the same department where I began this journey... albeit up one tier on the processing ladder, and with a manager that is willing to do whatever she can do to help develop our careers toward the goals we want to achieve!! All I have to do now is decide where I want to go! First I wanted to eventually end up in Underwriting... however, the vast majority of those jobs with this company have been outsourced (not overseas... just to other companies)... I know I want NOTHING more to do with sales... (blech)... maybe rating and compliance? <-- that last one is the most attainable.
Now, you may as well know now that Roxy and I both believe in signs. We both see them, and we both believe in atleast investigating, if not fully following what we find.
For the last week, i've been seeing and hearing the term "Futures" everywhere... Ev-evry- WHERE !!! In the news, online in random places, in fictional books I'm reading, even in random personal coversations!!!!! After a few days of this I started paying attention to where I was seeing it... and then after 5 days, I started doing my research. I'll be honest that I don't know much about finance... but this particular branch of finance is very interesting to me!!!!! I'm wondering if a career change from insurance over to finance might not be in the cards for me?? Hmm... stay tuned to see where this goes....
****ANOTHER SUBJECT CHANGE****
I know it just affirms my nerd status, but I'm absolutely psyched about a new reality show coming up on TBS called "Kind of the Nerds". Maybe I've just been watching "The Big Bang Theory" for so long I can't wait to watch more nerds on TV... but it just looks hilarious!!!
**The USUAL**
Today's Date: Tuesday January 15, 2013
Weather: rainy & chilly
Mood: Cool :) Had a productive day at work, good date night with my other half ( I despise the word "hubby"), got all the dishes washed (seriously... this NEVER happens), and actually have some time to think coherent thoughts to myself before bedtime.
Clothes: Currently, I'm wearing long charcoal grey yoga pants and a chocolate brown vneck tshirt, wet hair tied up in a bun. During the day I wore charcoal grey jeans, black microfiber tshirt, black cotton cardigan that has been mentioned frequently in this blog, brown striped socks, same ugly black shoes.
Currently Reading: Nothing yet... I just finished re-re-re-reading the Harry Potter series... I need to choose another print book for home AND another audiobook for work... suggestions??
Song of the Day: "Only Happy When It Rains" Garbage
Randomness: My dog is laying on her back in my most comfy armchair, all sprawled out with all 4 limbs in completely different directions - passed out snoring her butt off.
LOL!!! Its adorable !!!!!!!!
Nite Nite!
