Honestly the cliche advice is true. If you fill your life w things you’re passionate about, if you challenge yourself every day, if you give your own opinion of yourself more weight than other people’s opinions of you, you will actually thrive. Like no one can tell u anything

Change of plans?

I put in my two week notice at work today. I suppose I’m generally liked at work; the coworkers I told that I’m leaving were pretty bummed out, but hey, I’m trying to get out of debt and get ahead. My boss was less than pleased but that’s typical. I’m not 100% sure what I’m going to do about my health insurance, or lack of. I’ll see if COBRA would even be worth getting as I’ve read that my employer can charge up to 109% of the premium. Sigh.

Je suis de retour

Salut, et bonne année!

New year, new goals, new job! I had a successful job interview today, but I think I will be keeping my old job for the time being while in probation at the new place. The reason being is that I won’t qualify for health insurance until after 4 months, and I’d hate to lose my benefits after a month of getting insurance from work. Such is life.

As for new goals, my body and mind do this weird thing where I can’t exactly time when I need to get my butt in gear until I’m physically sick of how I look, and it looks like I’ve reached a new rock bottom, so to say. Let me explain. I’ve lost weight before, successfully, and I kept it off for a few months, yet I slipped and gained it back. I said before that I would never, 100% ever let myself get to this point again, yet here we are. I’ve reached my second “rock bottom” and I’ve decided now it’s high time to change. Side effects include: feeling lethargic but willing to suddenly put in effort, when in reality it would’ve been easier if I just maintained the weight I was at instead of letting fat logic rear its ugly head and convince me that yeah, I should probably eat before AND after a 30 minute bike ride even though I had already eaten breakfast. Sigh. My new fat logic was simply: what am I going to eat when I get home? Really, zero logic at all, I’d just eat everything in sight. I’d simply fill in boredom with eating. Eating feels like I’m doing something with my time, which is not good. Carrying 4+ extra pounds on top of the already 20 I gained back really makes a difference. I definitely feel it now where before I would just acknowledge it with a nonchalant shrug and carry on my day. Now, however, I feel uncomfortable. Clothes fit tighter and I’ve decided enough is enough.
