New Goal Sunday

Time for New Goal Sunday, where I choose goals to work on in the week ahead (Sunday-Saturday).

This week's goals:

1.) Give up one fast-food meal and frozen mocha per week.

Start: 7 fast-food meals and frozen mochas per week (1 every day)
Goal: 6 fast-food meals and frozen mochas per week

2.) Take 2-3 minutes to record what I eat after each meal.

I have slipped on both of these goals and hopefully can get back on track. Working at the place where I get my favorite drink--a frozen mocha--is going to be quite a challenge!

Hey! Over here!

Hey, remember me? I've been gone a long time...and not only from this blog, but unfortunately, also from the gym, and from eating healthy, and from...everything about changing my lifestyle that I wanted to do....so it's time for me to get back on track and back to blogging.

I realize that I don't post many pictures on this blog. I used to, but now I just do a lot of writing. How boring! My goal to better this blog is to add more pictures: of me, of things I do, of food I eat, etc...
BUT. I am in no way "tech-savvy", so I will be figuring this out as I go.

Here's my first pic/update: THAT is a delicious frozen mocha from Panera, because soon, VERY soon, I will be making these myself! That's right, I got a 5th job at my local Panera Bread bakery-cafe! For now, I am in training, and I'm doing great, according to my trainers!

I also got a 6th job as an accompanist for the local community theatre's summer production of Legally Blonde: The Musical. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh you guys! I am so excited about doing this!! Auditions start next week, and I will be playing for some of those!

You might be reading this and thinking, "6 jobs?!?! Are you nuts?!?! How do you manage your time?!"

One VERY IMPORTANT concept I've learned is how to ADAPT. This word has become my mantra lately. Life has thrown me bucketsful recently, but I just adapt to changing situations. I adapt to last-minute happenings. I adapt to anything that I need to. Fortunately, I work with many people who are very gracious and tolerant of my ever-changing schedule.

Also, 2 of my 6 jobs will cease during the summer (subbing and accompanying at a local high school), which will open up my days more.

Lastly, I have picked up 2 more students, and another student who I should be able to fit into the schedule during the summer. That's 5-6 students total!

So, I'm back. And I HOPE to be back for good, or at least on a normal schedule.
