Inspiring man today on Oprah, Michael Hebranko....

Have any of you ever heard about Michael Hebranko? This is his picture. Today was the first time I have heard of Michael Hebranko and his life battles. I was watching The Oprah show and this man is so inspiring. He is not only inspiring to people with weight issues but he is inspiring to everyone in any given situation. Michael's outlook on life is so beautiful, empowering, astonishing and inspiring. I encourage all of you to look up Michael Hebranko. I am so happy to say Michael has a blog here on blogspot! :)

Sunday is weigh in day....

I am so happy to announce that I have lost 2 more pounds! That makes a total of 17 pounds. In an earlier post I mentioned I had a goal. I never had the chance to mention what it was since I have been so busy with everything and frankly it slipped my mind! My goal was to loose 20 pounds by my 14th Wedding Anniversary. My anniversary is on May 03. and it looks like I just might make my goal. I am 3 pounds away! yipeee! If I don't make the 3 pounds, I will still be proud of what I have accomplished and then set a new goal. However, I am staying positive. I do after all have one more week to go.

Something to think about .......

No matter how dreary miserable, or bitter the weather, birds can always be heard singing.

Music

I added a music player to my blog. I hope you all like the songs I have added. They are some of my favorite girly feel good songs. If you don't like the songs. Shut your volume off and I hope that you continue to follow along with my blog! :) I must admit that I always say that I am eternally 18. I guess my song choices may reflect that! he he he he

Good day

Hi everyone! Today was such a hot day. It is a lovely day just so hot. I can't take the heat. I am so glad that the apartment that I live in is in a cool location but I think I have gotten spoiled by this because for the first time in over a year my apartment reached 78 degrees and I felt like I was about to die! I am starting to wonder if this mostly cool apartment is not good for me. Now I can barely handle 78 degrees. I am not kidding I was feeling sick! How can this be? The house I lived in prior to this was an old historical home and had no air conditioner. That house reached temperatures of 104. I hated it took many showers during the day but I was able to handle it and now a little old 78 degrees has me running to turn the air on! I would of loved and been so thankful for the 78 degrees before and now I am sick over it.??? uggggggg :/

Update on new job and WW :D

Hi all -

Sorry it has been so long. I have been so busy with the new job and the new WW plan my Sister put me on. So much has gone on.......

Where to begin....

First off I went in with high hopes for the new job but to my surprise I hated it!! This bank location was in a supermarket not a traditional free standing branch. I hated it ! I felt like I was in a glass box suffocating! This location is also open 7 days a week and they told me the hours just changed and now we would be open everyday until 7:00 pm! ugggggg It was not the normal professional banking environment that I am use to. This branch has the staff doing so many things that it just didn't fit with my personality and morales. The Manager actually has the staff go out and "pimp accounts"! I say "pimp accounts" because my best friend on a rough day made me laugh hysterically by calling it "pimping accounts". The Manager would have the staff go out into the market to tell customers we were there in the supermarket and even have the staff approach customers in the parking lot when they are getting in their cars!! The last straw for me was when she told me she wanted me to go to the local park to tell people about the bank and try to get new customers! I just imagined myself looking down at all the drunk people and homeless people laying and lounging on the grass and then imagining them yelling at me about how they don't even have a job and no money and who am I to tell them where to put the 2 cents that they had left! Thank God I have an understanding old fashion Husband that gives me the option to stay home and would rather have me home than actually work. This allowed me the option to quit the job immediately. I have never felt so free in my life! I must say the staff was excellent and I would have loved to work with the team longer but not with what the Manager requested us to do. On the upside to this I got a call from the second largest financial institution in the US and they offered me a job!The location is a free standing branch in fact they don't have many branches in supermarkets :) and they are closed on Sunday and Saturday they are open until 2pm. I was so happy and I figure I will give them a try. They have to be more professional than the last bank they couldn't be so big if they weren't right? I hope. Well if I don't like it, I will quit there too! :D I start the new job this Thursday.
Now as far as WW plan goes I have FANTASTIC news!!! I have lost 15 POUNDS since I started WW!! I am so excited. Could this be the magic plan I have been waiting for?? It has been very easy to stick to for me. The part I dread is giving my Sister the credit for getting me on it when I was against it for so long! ugggggg I hate it when others are right ! he he he :D

Tomorrow begins a new chapter....

Tomorrow begins a new chapter in my life. I start my new job tomorrow at the bank. I look forward to this new chapter. This new chapter can only be better than the last one. I packed my lunch right now with all my WW goodies. I hope I am able to have time to eat all my snacks. Each point on WW is precious..hehehe I figure tomorrow can't be that bad. It is just the first day. Today I looked back at the last chapter in my life and a tear ran down my cheek. Tonight I think of the next chapter and tomorrow morning with the sun on my face, my head held high I will look forward to the next new chapter and thank God for all that it will bring. I will keep you all posted as to how it all went.
