2008 has been treating me very well so far. I've been making good on my resolution to exercise, hitting the treadmill for twenty minutes every day after work since last Friday (I take breaks on weekends), and I've already noticed my usually snug uniform slacks fitting better. Mom even said just now that I was less "hippy" which makes me glad. And I get such a rush after working out. I'm all smiles after my twenty minutes are done.
I need to work on my diet, though. I still eat crummy food and cutting sugar out almost completely has been tough. I love sweets. It's a wonder I've never had a cavity.
I don't know what my current weight is -- I'm sure it's in the high one-sixties -- but my goal is between one-thirty and one-forty by June. I intend on wearing a bikini proudly this summer and wowing everybody!
Smoking is going to be my biggest hurdle, I just know it. I've already gotten lectures from two different people about how I have to quit, but cut me some slack, guys. It's really hard. I'm hoping exercise will help stave off my nicotine cravings, so at least I'm facing the right direction. Just gotta take that first step.
I also adore my new job at the pizza place. My daily routines are easy, hours are great, my co-workers rock and I have no qualms about taking initiative all the time by offering to do extra work and sweeping without being told. Something I never cared to do at RST Video Movie Gallery because, honestly, there's too much bullshit to cull through at that store. At least my ex-Boss Lady isn't giving me stink-eye every time I go in now and is speaking to me in normal tones. I might open an account at Hollywood Video anyway since they have a vast foreign section.
Yes, this year is really shaping out to be fantastic. I look back on entries this time last year and they're so gruff, but I feel great now. The best I've felt in a long time.
How is everyone else doing?
general madness,
celebrations,
ooh work,
wibble
