Hi Jen! Thanks for stopping by!

The classes are awesome. They're offered through our local recreation department. They offer other ones too like body ball which I took last semester and that was pretty fun too. I really like the step class because it's pretty intense. I was sweating like crazy last week afterwards and I love that feeling...makes me feel like I really did something! The kickboxing is fun too because it's really upbeat. It's actually like cardiokickboxing because it's not just kickboxing but has aerobics moves integrated too. And the pilates is great for core strengthening and toning...my bum still hurts a bit from Thursday's class. It keeps me motivated and busy during the week. I'm a boredom eater so keeping busy is essential to my dieting too.

Great point!! Variety is a good thing!!! I was thinking about snow showing to get some cardio! Now all we need is more snow!

I'm excited for my step class tonight!

I just got home from the store. I went to the sporting goods store and bought a pedometer. Does anyone know if it will count my steps in step class? I set it up for walking with a 30" stride and all that jazz but I was thinking about wearing it to class tonight and seeing if it will work during class too.

Has anyone tried this before?

Way to go on the 23lb. loss and getting those boots zipped up! I will rejoice with you big time on that one because I have 4 beautiful pair in my closet right now that I can't zip because of my fat calves. Soon though, soon! Knowing that you got back into yours gives me hope! Congrats on the shirt fitting too! I love that song btw. LOL

I hope you had fun at your class tonight!

 

[sarahsmom73]

How was class? Did you have a good workout?

 

[sunkissed212]

Class was great! This class is the most fun of all the aerobics classes I've ever taken and I feel it every time! She's really a great trainer and I love it.

Today I feel it in my quads which is good because I need it there( everywhere actually).

I don't have any classes tonight-Tuesday's and Fridays are my days off. So, tonight, I'm getting together for dinner with my 3 really good girlfriends that I used to work with. We all live kind of far apart but we make sure to get together at least once a month to hang out. Tonight we're going to Applebees! I watched what I ate all day today so I can get my favorite for dinner...chicken broccoli alfredo. I know, it is HORRIBLE but I have to indulge every once in a while or I'll lose my mind. I'll be good for the rest of the week, I promise! (I have to weigh in for my "5 for January" weigh in on Sunday so I gotta be good!)

Well, time to get ready to meet the girls. Thanks for checking in!

 

[Princess Michelle]

I'm glad you enjoyed your workout!

Have fun with your friends tonight. I had the chicken broccoli alfredo the last time I was at Applebees, my favorite part of it is the huge honkin slice of garlic bread that comes with it. LOL

 

[sunkissed212]

MmmMmmm dinner was so good. And it was so much fun. These girls are the best. I always complain that I don't have a lot of friends but these three make up for it. It's definitly quality and not quantity! They're the best!! We are planning our next "girls night out" for 2/12. I can't wait. They are so much fun!! The only thing is...we haven't had a real "girls night out" since my friend Michelle had her baby and my other friend Paula got married so I think things will be a little different now...maybe not so crazy! That's okay though, I'm getting older now and I don't need to party all night long to have a good time. I'll be at home in my bed by like 2am! haha...

I brought home about 1/2 of my broccoli alfredo for lunch tomorrow! Now I'm actually looking forward to going to work....NOT looking forward to gettting on the scale though...thank goodness I have cardiokickboxing class tomorrow to make up for all of this!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Glad you had a fun time with the girls!

 

[sunkissed212]

Hey everyone! Did you all have a good day, I sure did...

I have a phone interview for a new job on Friday!!! WooHoo!!!

I gotta go to kickboxing class but I'll check back when I get home!

 

[plutosmyfav]

Hi Sunkissed,

Your classes sound GREAT

Your friends sound great, too!

Congrats on your weight loss and good luck with the job interview!!!!

[sunkissed212]

thanks plutosmyfav! and thanks for stopping by!

So, a bit more about my interview. Actually, I don't really know anything except for what's in the posting on monster.com. Its for a Payroll Analyst which is exactly what I'm looking for right now.

I've been having some serious issues with some changes at work and I've come to the realization that I can't really go anywhere else at my current job because I'm in the business field (I work in child care though) and in order for me to get a "corporate" type job with this company, I'd have to move to Watertown Massachusetts. And, while that sounds like a great place...I'm not interested in moving so basically...I'm at a dead end. I talked to my boss about everything today and told her about the interview and that I was actively searching for a new job and she said taht she would back me in whatever I wanted to do and that she would be pleased to let me use her as a reference as well. How nice is that? I think she understands my situation so it made it a lot easier to talk to her about it.

So...Friday at 12:30 I have a phone interview...we'll see how it goes. Realistically, right now though if the job doesn't pay more than what I make now, I won't be able to take it. I just can't afford a pay cut right now.

Next....I had a blast at kickboxing class tonight. We have one guy in the class and he is hilarious he makes us all laugh the whole time and the time just flies by! I can really feel it in my muscles already from the step class on monday and kickboxing today. Tomorrow is pilates. and I'm really looking forward to that too!!

Goodnight every1 I gotta go finish watching people embarass themselves on American Idol!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Glad you had fun at kickboxing!!!


I watched AI too! Once I start it is all over!

 

[sunkissed212]

Wow...does my bum hurt today!! I just got home from pilates class and man o man am I sore!!! It feels so good though!

Now, I have to figure out what to eat for dinner. I have some frozed tilapia in the freezer. I think I might toss a few of those in the oven with some Mrs.Dash and maybe have some chicken noodle soup along with it. It's freezing outside! I'm so tired I don't feel like cooking much but I gotta eat soon or its' gonna get too late!

 

[plutosmyfav]

Hi Sunkissed!

Watertown is just 3 towns over from me! If you should choose to move there, I'll give you all the local info! I hope the other job turns out to be high paying. Pixie dust your way

Sundie

 

[sunkissed212]

I'll keep that in mind...IF I ever decide to move. As much as I complain about Michigan I really do love it here...and I think if I move, it will have to be somewhere warm (er)

Thanks for the PD....I'd love to make more money...wouldn't we all???

 

[Tera]

Hi Sunkissed - If your sore today, I bet you'll be double sore tomorrow Great job with the working out.

I hope the phone interview works out for you. We know all too well about job problems (DH works for Peoplesoft that just got "acquired" by Oracle ) Good luck with that

 

[sarahsmom73]

Think of it as a Good Sore!!! I know that keeps me going!!!! Happy Friday! Hope you have a great day!

 

[sunkissed212]

TGIF Everyone!

Oh it's a good sore. Its funny because I love it. It makes me feel like the workouts are really working. I am even more sore today than yesterday. But, I feel a difference and I definitly like that.

My phone interview went great! The HR rep was very nice and told me all kinds of neat things. She scheduled me for a face to face interview on Tuesday morning at 8:00am. It's gonna be a busy day with that at 8, then I work at 10 and have therapy at 2 and then go back to work until 7!! But, the job sounds really cool. They have flexible hours, great benefits and I'll be getting more money. She didn't give me an exact range but I padded the amount I told her that I currently make and she said that it was definitly in their range for that position so I'm really excited!!

This morning I got onto ticketmaster website because Brad Paisley and Sarah Evans are coming to my town (well, kindof) next month! I am so excited because I got MAIN FLOOR ROW 6 Tickets!!!! Tomorrow, I'm going to stand outside ticketmaster to get George Strait tickets for the end of February....wish me luck on good seats for that one too!!

 

[sunkissed212]

Okay, so....I told everyone that I was going out today to get George Strait tickets first thing this morning...well, the snow came even earlier than they expected but I wasn't going to chance not getting good tickets to this concert so this is what I ventured out in ...

I got to Marshall Fields at 8:50am and they were plowing the parking lot at the mall. As soon as the guy unlocked the doors I went into the store and stood outside the ticketmaster outlet. Well, at 10 I was still the only one there which totally surprises me but it paid off we're in Section FLOOR 2 ROW C (that's row 3 from the stage) I'm so geeked!!!!

So, that's floor seats row 3 for George on Thursday, 2/24 and floor seats row 6 for Brad on Friday!!! Now, if I can just convince my boyfriend to drive 50 miles from the arena on Friday night to the Casino resort, we can stay there 2 nights and make a nice weekend out of the whole thing! I can't wait!!!
