Smartbody’s Ramblings

Hey, so glad to be back and hoping to be back regularly now. Had my head so far in my books I was afraid I wouldn’t know the way out!!!! Looking forward to catching up with everyone!!!!!

Drop me a note and let me know what you have been up to…I will be checking everyone’s BodySpace too!!!

Smartbody

has attained another milestone in her life!

It is with much jubilation that she would like to announce her graduation from

Graduate Studies!

She finished her studies in August of 2008 and has obtained the degree

Master of Business Administration

with a specialization in Finance.

I have 2 weeks left of school and I am seriously happy about this. I am working on a plan to get my ass in gear when school is finished. I have been hit or miss with the working out because I have been stressed out to the max regarding my last class.

This last week I got the joy of adding a cold to the mix. I appreciated the one day a co-worker stated that I was a better color than previously. I had the sweats so bad I took my shoes off and cranked the air conditioning in my office. Filled myself full of soup, orange juice and some much needed rest. I have been averaging 5 or less hours of sleep during this class and some nights I have stayed up the whole night. Pretty sure the cold came on because I was run down.

I am trying to work on even-ing out these last few weeks so that I just get better and not have a relapse.

Here’s hoping……

I have decided to ammend my goal and state that I am still going to lose 30 pounds but the date is going to be pushed back some. I have had some unexpected stressors and I think it is important to deal with them first and then continue on with my goal. Life has been super crazy lately and it appears that my goal of getting my degree is going to be a race to the finish. I have approx 6 weeks left and then I am DONE DONE DONE. So I will begin my race to the finish and try to stay in touch!

HOPE EVERYONE’S FOURTH IS SAFE AND HAPPY!                   
                                                                                   

Work is going well. Been keeping me pretty busy trying to figure out what everyone else who had the position had been doing. Found a better bunch of food to eat besides the CRAP I was eating. Have to go to the store today to get some more. I have been using walking as my main exercise for the moment. I take the dog out when I get home from work and we both go for a nice long walk.

Still working out the work/school/getting enough sleep equation. Been using the weekend to catch up. I can work on getting into a better schedule in about two weeks when the current class I am taking is over and I get a glorious week off (of school only).

Found out my dog has allergies! JOY! So I get to give her pills every day. I am not sure, since she has allergies if she needs to be on pills all the time? Currently I have pills to give her until they run out, but I am thinking since she has allergies that one shot at pills isn’t going to last. She also gets a spray for her feet because she is OBSESSED with munching on them and the hair is going away and the skin is looking raw. The Vet mentioned steriods and the side effects and all I am thinking is do we need to discuss the worst case scenario already???? Can’t we just try the minimal first and see how much we have to do for her to find relief?

On a weight note, it is going down. YEA! Slowly but it is going down. I have not had the boomerang effects as of late; it is just going down. I think that working has helped out with that because I am busy during the day and do not have time to continually eat. When I first moved to Cali I actually gained weight because I wasn’t going out and doing much of anything and there was so much new food to try.

I think my current issue is not drinking enough water and not getting enough sleep. Well, goals for next blog.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there!!! Hope everything goes exactly the way you want today!!!!

Someone is going to have to go to the store this weekend and stock up on the healthy sh*t. Goodness gracious I ate CRAP today. I have wanted to eat good while starting the new job but I have found myself to be EXHAUSTED at night and then into the next morning at work. I am considering sleeping my Saturday away. HOLY SMOLY does my office like their donuts!!!! I can feel my *ss spreading as I write this. I had a donut for lunch. I am thinking that my nerves are raising my metabolism because I am losing weight again.

So, anyone have any easy, healthy, non-messy snacks that I can eat at work? One of the days I had ravioli—while good on the health meter it was pretty low on the non-messy factor.

GUESS WHO GOT A JOB?????

Guess who is the Executive Assistant with the opportunity to become the Marketing Director??????????
