So this is only the 2nd day that I've done it but I feel great! I've been getting up at about 4:30 depending on when I realize that the alarm is not part of my dream ;) and going to the gym! I feel good and it feels doable. I know a lot of people get wide-eyed when I say 4:30 and yes that is in the A.M. but I was waking up at 5am to get ready by 6am to be at work by 7am. So what is a half an hour really? I mean it forces me to go to bed early. And for once in a LONG time I am not thoroughly depressed with my weight, and it's because I'm actually doing something about it. Of course I have my fears and doubts, but I'm not going to let them rule me. I will commit to this like I have to these past 21 days of my 40 day commitment. I can do this! I'm really excited! It gives me a lot of energy. And to top it off, I finally got to the tanning salon! I'm a little red lobster since I haven't been in forever. Tanning was something I've wanted to do but didn't make a priority of it. And it still isn't really a priority but I feel better when I'm tan for some reason and since I'm all about working on how I feel when I look in the mirror, why not add a 20 minute tan every other day to the mix? hehe
Also I've taken responsibility of reaching out to others. I was resentful to my brother-in-law over something I had heard he had said about me. I called him this morning to say sorry and ask forgiveness for not coming to him when I first heard it to make sure it was valid for one and another to remedy the situation. It turns out it was like 3 years ago that he even felt that way and has said I've done A LOT of growing in the last year and his opinion of me is so much more. So all-in-all it worked out great.
I am trying to confirm with my friend Andie that we'll be able to do lunch together on Sunday after church. It was her birthday the 8th of May but our schedules are just not mixing well. She is a friend that I care for dearly but have lost touch with. She, Rachel and I were considered the 3 Musketeers in our youth group. We always hung out together! So I'm hoping to get her to commit to lunch and I'm going to surprise her by taking her to Red Robin and Rachel will be there with balloons and gifts. That was something we always did for each of our birthdays, but with the two of them married and my schedule it just hasn't worked out. So here's hoping!
Well I promised myself I would work on the logos that need to be completed. So far there are officially 2 logos I have to make. One is for my brother's company. I used to do web design but it wasn't paying enough or consistently enough, and that's when I got the job at linkLINE. So Scidco's new name is now 'Driven IT'. I really like the name and have some good ideas for a logo. The other is for a Professor at Azusa Pacific University that has "Battle of the Books" and he was shown my work and really wants me to play with a logo. This one is tougher because he's looking for more of a cartoon character and I don't draw... But I will do my best. I have a site to make as well but haven't gotten the particulars of that. I'm just taking the graphic stuff one step at a time. I pulled out for a while but God seems to be opening doors in this direction. I'm just doing what I can and waiting to see what happens. Ok so after all that... I need to get going.
Bye
