Reality Check

I am in serious need of a reality check. For the past couple weeks, I have really not been caring about dieting or weight loss. I would often go periods when I would be off my diet then back on but the month of October has been pitiful. I get these tiny reality checks from time to time but today I got a reality check that made me feel pretty fat.

Is that me?

Yikes! That looks horrible! I am extremely embarrassed that this was captured in a photo! You can my rolls, where my belly “dunlopped over” and oh goodness…the bunchy crotch! I just look so sloppy. I really need to make some changes. I don’t believe I can keep going like this. Later, I will post some more photos and measurements. It is time to see some results!

Every year since I’ve graduated from High School I have told myself that I will take part in the National Novel Writing Month. Every year I start out strong and write every day, often times spending a whole day writing. And every year, usually around the middle of the month, I quit. Not deliberately but it always seems to happen. This year I will write 50,000 words.

I always wanted to be a writer but lack of time and determination has really stopped me. I view writing as a hobby and not necessarily as a career. Even if I cannot write everyday, I will reach my goal.

Happy National Novel Writing Month!

GMAT and GRE

Recently, my boss pulled myself and two other employees from my company into a meeting and discussed our future with the company. A lot of situations were thrown about but the one that seemed the most plausible was a tuition reimbursement program. It seems like an awesome opportunity but my boss meant specifically in business. I have very little to no concept of business. I have some sociological and life experience but in terms of management, inventory, and tax stuff I am completely clueless. I looked into some courses and with how much I have worked lately, adding more to that load would be unbearable. Instead I chose the same route that I chose with the GRE and bought some study guides.

Study Guides

I haven’t done much arithmetic for the past few years so I have a lot to catch up on. I took the practice test and bombed. I will be studying my ass off for the next couple months for both the GRE and the GMAT.

A good read

I am on the hunt for a new book to read. I always hate asking people for recommendations because everyone turns into a shill for their favorite novel and I feel guilty if I have no interest or do not like it. Despite that, I am seeking the Internet’s help. I need a good read!

Bad Habits

We all have little bad habits. Swearing, picking at any thing that remotely resembles a bump and the constant need to flip my hair are some of mine. The weather in San Diego has been so hot lately that my office has turned up the AC to keep all of us happy and in doing so, my cubicle has become an ice-cube. This is worse than when I worked at the grocery store. I had to start wearing long sleeves shirts and bringing jackets even though it is 100 degrees outside! The past few days I noticed I have picked up a bad little habit.

Yes–That is avocado and crumbs.

For some reason, I have starting wiping my after lunch hands on my shoulder! Who does that? I am not even sure when it started but for the past week I have used my shoulder pad (this jacket came from Dress Barn and is from the early 90’s) as a napkin. To be honest, I am not even sure I know how I am doing it. I try to wipe my hand on my shoulder and it doesn’t feel natural or comfortable. From now on, I will be hyper aware of my greasy mitts.
