Morning Ladies -

Not having a good morning. Couldn't sleep last night and I have to work 4:30 to 10:30 pm tonight. JOY! I did Amy Bento's new step DVD and was so frustrated. It's as hard to pick up as her first one, if not harder and I was so mad. I was actually not liking her this morning. I only enjoyed one athletic combo and other than that one, I had to sort of do my own thing cuz I was lost. The music wasn't that great either. Then, 45" into my workout, I jumped on the Rebounder cuz I was lost and my foot was hurting....so I figured I'd jump on there and watch the coreography and my freakin' Rebounder broke!! Springs came off and it collapsed with me on it! Then my DH went into a rage cuz I asked him to fix it and he was getting ready for work! Not a good morning. Finally quit trying to fix the Rebounder and my watch read 1 hour and 25 minutes!! I did check my calorie count at 40 minutes into the workout and it was at 515. After the fiasco with the Rebounder, I did part of that combo I liked and then cooled down and did Dharma Yoga 20".

Thanks for the kind words and understanding everyone. It means the World to me. I feel so alone and scared right now. It's TTOTM and stress is making this a really BAD month for that- if ya know what I mean. Probably TMI.

The thing about this job is that if I could have steady days M-F, I wouldn't mind it so much. I just really don't think I can get used to the scatterbrained schedule. I am very obessive and compulsive by nature and I do things on certain days.......and without my routine....I sort of come unglued. Sorry to whine and sound like a baby. I'm sure hormones are making me even crazier right now...and I've got this migraine still.

Jen - Yes, I planned on continuing to look for a medical job or other secretarial job with decent hours....but I've already been looking for almost a year, so I don't anticipate anything to happen quickly. I hope I start feeling better about my hair....and yes, I agree, I do like a shoulder length layered look, but my hair is way shorter than that......except for a teensy weensy layer that skims my neck. I hate it. Although when I was complaining to the DH, he said it looked better than it did (cuz it WAS lookig really shabby) and he HATES short hair......but maybe he just said that cuz he knows I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Yve - I doubt you're hair was as short as mine! I feel butchered. It's amazing how our hair can make us loose our confidence, etc. The same thing with having to wear my glasses versus contacts. I HATE my glasses, but I'm unable to see small print with my contacts in so I can't wear my contacts to work........and I feel extremely self conscious.

Hi to Kel and Christine if you ladies are around.

I did not have 1 piece of Halloween Candy yesterday! Had my fat free, sugar free fudge bar last night like a good girl.
 
Where is everyone today??

My cats don't know what the heck is going on. Everything is A#@ backwards around here and they are looking confused. Okay ...since I whined so much about this job adjustment, let me go over the positives.

1) Nice being out from behind a desk typing and having a bit of physical activity in my work day
2) I enjoy selling beauty products cuz I know a LOT about them and actually sold a lady some mineral makeup for a Halloween gift and a guy asked for my suggestions and I sold him $75 worth of Neutrogena facial care, aftershave, etc.

Ummm....that's all I can think of right now...but I'll try to think of more positives....cuz my mediation reading today lectured me on change and finding the positives and growing...yada yada yada......yea right.
 
Hi ladies,

Have not worked out yet today - I am swamped in work. I hope tonight I may find time to pull out a dvd.

Lora - 515 calories in 40 minutes is amazing! Thank goodness you didn't hurt yourself when the rebounder broke though! I am sorry that your DH isn't being more supportive.
It is good that you are trying to focus on the positives of this job. The fact that you know alot about beauty products - and believe in them - will take you a long way. It is amazing, as I am sure you are seeing, how many people really don't know how to take proper care of their skin - and don't use the correct products for their skin type - or just don't use products at all - adn rely on soap and water. It's up to you to set them all straight ;)
Anyhow - have to run - will BBL.

Yve - I'm not really focusing on the positives.....just trying to cuz my meditation book said I should!! LOL. The hours cannot make up for all of the positives!!! no way...no how. Yes, I was really clueless about others not knowing about proper skin care, makeup, etc. It has been a hobby of mine my entire life....so I've learned a lot. I even feel a bit out of place working there cuz I wear makeup to work and none of my Beauty Advisor coworkers do!! I feel like a little beauty diva Libra!
 
"I feel like a little beauty diva Libra!"
LOL!!!

I can't believe the girls who work as beauty advisors don't apply makeup! How can they possibly sell makeup if they show up to work with none on?? Too funny.

What is your favourite skin care line?
 
Hi ladies! Quick post tonight-I finished up my workout later than expected and gotta' run cause dinner is on the table. I did RTTC all 3 leg segments twice through and followed it with 100 barbell squats w/ 50 lbs. I think I will be feeling this one tomorrow! Always good to have LEG DAY over with for another week!

Have a great night everyone!
