Weight Loss Take Two: Week Three

I have this disease called WWWD (Wannabe Wonderwoman Disease). I'm not trying to make excuses in any way. However, I do realize that sometimes I need to take a step back from my perfectionism mind and realize it's OK. I try to work 40 hours a week, sign up for marathons, keep the house clean, not just make dinner everynight but to me it has to be amazing!, be an amazing wife and so much more. Now I'm trying to say that this is not all doable however, I need to better at prioritizing and again realizing its OK.
With that being said moving on to this past week. I did great on drinking more water! I still had some soda but much more water! It's really wierd though because my left ankle has been swollen for a few days??? Anyways, I only worked out 1 day and that was to run the Westfest 5K! Ha! Hey that is something to be proud of. Running 3 miles early on Saturday morning in 75 degree weather. I still don't have a scale ... so thats good. This coming week we have family coming into town and its Morgans wedding so it is going to get a little crazy but so fun!

Weight Loss Take Two: Week Two

Still don't have a scale... haha oops! Last week I get an E for Effort. If it hadn't been for a few things it would have been an F for Fail! I am struggling right now. I'm not happy with the way I feel but I'm having a hard time getting into a routine and there are so many things going on right now. Not that any of that is an excuse because thats life I just need to figure it out. I did not give up soda last week...ugh.. I guess I just don't want to?! I did drink a little more water still need to do a lot more. And y'all are going to die... I only worked out 1 day last week! I did a little jog on Saturday to my parents house for my sis in laws birthday breakfast. That is one of the reasons I get an E for effort. The 2nd thing is I signed up for a 5k this Saturday and I actually encouraged the majority of my family to do it with me too :D I need to keep signing up for things because thats what helps keep me motiviated. Alright, I'm just going to keep trucking and I will figure it out! 

Weight Loss Week 1: Take 2

I do not have a bathroom scale yet I know know. So I don't know if i lost or gained. But I did work out 3 days last week for 1 hour. Thursday I did a Punch, Kick, and Crunch class. Friday and Saturday I did Zumba. Water I did OK on. Around 6 glasses a day so I just need to up that a little bit more. Soda...ugh...not so good still working on that. 

New Job for Linds!

So please forgive me because sometimes I blog binge. I go forever without posting much and then I do a few posts in a matter of days. What can I say life is insane but I love it!

Yes! I was offered a job with MCA (Mortgage Compliance Advisers) as an Auditor I. I start tomorrow! It was actually the only interview that I went away from feeling really good about so I am so happy it worked out. Basically, I would be doing a lot of data entry at first. The company audits mortgage loans from banks just as a quality control measure. They said I would have the opportunity to work up in the company as I gain more experience and become an Auditor II which then I would have the option to work from home. I really really really really hope that it all works out. Oh and no change in pay from my previous job and I will get insurance benefits which is awesome! AND... It's Monday-Friday 830am-5pm... it's a beautiful schedule! So happy! Randomly crazy I applied for unemployment the day 1800contacts let me go and I just found out this week that it was approved because 1800contacts basically had no reasoning in letting me go. I think the conversation might have gone something like this: Unemployment office "Hi, so why did you fire Lindsey?" 1800 "uhh..." UI " Is she rehirable" 1800 "yes" UI " are you currently hiring" 1800 "yes" UI "so why did you fire Lindsey???" ... Funny shiz right there if you know what I mean.

As I end this post I have pictures of our gorgeous new truck we bought from my brother and sis in law. We actually flew up to Seattle (where they live) a month or two ago and picked it up and drove it home. Beautiful amazing drive! We love our truck it's hard not to take it everywhere. We are excited to do some camping trips with it this summer. I'm also leaving you with a few "life" quotes that I think are relevant and one of these days I will get pics up of our new house that we rent from Ben's parents. Oh and I shaved Ben's head woot woot! He still looks smokin hot I love it!

The new truck :D

I figured it out...

I've been struggling with my weigh lately and I figured it out. I haven't been doing a weekly log of my progress! Duh Lindsey! Alright, so starting this Monday I will be doing weekly logs. Here are my goals for June so y'all better keep me in check :D

Lose 5 pounds!

Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.

Work out a minimum of 3 days a week for 60 min.

No Soda!

Little work out humor for ya!

Here's my story and I'm stickin to it

Long story short found out 2 employees who were in my RX training class and also did not pass the same test as me are actually still employed with the company. Hmmm... Frustrating? Yes. Especially because one of them was hired on directly for RX. I've called HR twice asking for answers and have yet to hear back. 

In other employment news I've had about 5 or so interviews the last 2 weeks and more to come. Just trying to be picky and find the best fit for me. Ben loves his job still and is awesome at it! He is actually already training a new guy that's how good he is!

We have been having a ton of fun lately. We went to the air show at Hill Air Force Base, been playing in the sun and the water, having BBQ's it's wonderful! My brother Jason and his family were here over Memorial Day Weekend. Jason had to go back and do some more military training but Karlie (sis in law) and Josslyn (niece) will be staying at least until after Morgans wedding on the 30th. There is a ton of planning going on for the wedding it is getting super close! 

That's all for now.
