I don’t think I had been able to take a break and relax for the last three days until this afternoon. First there was Thanksgiving on Thursday when, even though it was nice seeing family again after at least two years, it was still a lot being a co-host to the celebration. If waking up … Continue reading Intense Thanksgiving weekend

That’s it, I did it! I finished the 60 day Insanity program. I still can’t believe I did it and, as I’ve already said it, I didn’t think I would be able to do it but I had to try and I did it! I worked out six days a week for nine weeks from … Continue reading Insanity workouts: DONE!
I got great news this morning… That’s right, I got the job! I’m going to start working at Old Navy next week. I don’t know what else to say except I’m very happy, nervous, excited, ready to learn and see what this new adventure has to offer.
After a pretty intimidating first week of month two of the Insanity workouts, I have to say I’m a little relieved. I was afraid my knee would start bothering me again and maybe even hurt more but I don’t feel anything like that. By the end of each of these workouts I can barely do … Continue reading A week full of distractions
Guess what I did today. I finished month one of Insanity! Honestly, I can’t even describe how I feel; I don’t really know. It’s a mix of proud, surprised, motivated, happy and tired. I’m very tired but I think that’s understandable, it’s been four very tough weeks. I haven’t skipped one day and some days … Continue reading Finished Insanity: Month 1!
I’ve got some good news, I got a job! I was worried it might take a long time because I thought I would be competing with a lot of other people. I sent many resumes but heard back from one of them for an interview pretty quickly and I got it! I’m nervous about it, … Continue reading Working hard for what I want
I made it to the end the program, I’m in the last week of Insanity Max:30! This week I will try to workout in the morning and use the stationary bike before and the treadmill after. I will have time to do that until I find a job, which will hopefully happen soon, but until … Continue reading Insanity Max: 30- Week 16
For the last year, because of the pandemic, I had been working as a shadow teacher for a few kids at their parent’s workplace. Because the kids are going back to school, today was my last day. As I said goodbye to the girls, I couldn’t help but think about everything we went through this … Continue reading Saying goodbye to my students
I don’t remember if I told you but after I finished T25 Beta I learned that there was another set of videos. I had some trouble getting them but this weekend Focus T25 Gamma arrived! I was so excited today was a holiday because, well I get the day off from work and because I … Continue reading Love three day weekends!
I am now taking the second course for the Digital Marketing online certification and I think it’s going well. One of the reasons I decided to get that certification was that it would help my blog, and I still think it will, however I am having a little trouble blogging right now. Ever since my … Continue reading Need more time to write
Keeping up with blogging, exercising, working and taking classes all at the same time has not been very easy so far. I was able to keep up with everything during my three week Christmas break because I was on vacation, but now that I’m back to work and working more hours than last year, it … Continue reading I can find a way to do it all
Today was the first day of work after Christmas vacation and first day of work of 2021. First days of anything after vacation are always horrible but this one wasn’t bad. The only thing that was difficult was having to wake up at 6:30 again. I thought I wouldn’t want to go for a walk … Continue reading First day of work 2021
I have decided to start taking classes again. I know that I need something more than a bachelors in writing to get a a job in a field that interests me. I thought about aiming for a masters but it’s expensive and takes two years. I don’t need more debt, I already have enough of … Continue reading Certifications to get the job I want
After work today, a few of us stayed behind to exercise. It was a nice change from exercising in my apartment. We started walking or running around the parking lot, each at our own pace. After a while we took a lap outside, around the building. It was a little scary because there were a … Continue reading Workout at work
Exercising in the morning is the best. This forces you to wake up and then you can just rest when you come home from work. This morning I finished working out before I had lunch and before I went to work, so now that I’m tired I don’t have anything to worry about, I can’t … Continue reading Morning workout
