Wow, no sleep

I should have known better. I stayed up way too late last night. I think I finally laid down at 4:00, back up at 8:00. I will definitely be needing a good nap today. I have my dart tournament tonight and I promised I'd be there. I didn't go the Thursday before Christmas because I was still out running around, trying to get my shopping done. It should be fun though, as long as I can get some rest later today. At the dart tournaments we play 501, double out. And we draw names for partners. I'd say that I'm not a great player, but I'm not bad either. You would think I'd be great after playing for so many years, but I have on nights and off nights. I just can't be consistent. I don't know whey. There's some guys that won't play for 6 months and then come in and throw like it was yesterday. I don't get it. Lucky them. lol I'm not super competitive either, I just like myself to feel like I did a good job, whether I won or not. Some of the players are REALLY competitive. They get really mad when they don't win. Some players don't even want to be partnered up with them because it can be really nerve-racking. Dart night is pretty fun though. We play starting in October through May and then it ends for the summertime. Well, I'd better go drink some coffee. I sure need it.

Helping A Friend

So I have a friend that has his own DJ business. He does weddings, dances, teen events, corporate parties and all kinds of things. I think he even knows how to hypnotize people. Anyhow, I posted previously that he's had a pretty slow year. I know a lot of people are going through that right now. I also know that he doesn't have much of a presence online. If you search for him for terms that people would normally search in the local area, such as Wedding DJs Seattle or DJ Everett you don't find him. I found his facebook page after doing a little hunting, but I haven't ran across his website yet. He has a good website, but like many businesses it's not really optimized for any search terms. The only way someone would find it is if they had the exact website address. Many small businesses are in the same boat. They don't know any different. They pay all this money to have a great website built, but they don't know there is more work to be done to actually get it ranking where they want to be found. I'm trying to do this for my friend. I've been working at if for a couple weeks, after my day job that is. I have one main site which I'm trying to get ranked for the big city in his area. The term actually gets about 5500 searches a month. Right now I'm floating around page 3 so I have a bit of work to do. I need to get him to page 1 of Google. Then I created a bunch of smaller sites focusing on the smaller cities. These are doing great, many of them are on page 1, ranked in the first place. They just don't really get any search volume. If anyone did search those terms though in those particular cities, they'll find him for sure. It's a project, but if I can get him more business I am going to be so happy. He loves what he does and I totally envy that. I hate seeing him feeling like he needs to get a part time job making minimum wage just to make ends meet. If he just had some good online exposure, I'm sure things will pick up for him.

Still Trying to Nail Down Our Workout Schedule

So I would have thought that the holidays would have been a great time to get really into the working out and gym groove, having some extra time off. So I was wrong. I'm disappointed with myself. At the same time, I don't want to get too down on myself because I know I am going to get really committed. My boyfriend and I just need to nail down a schedule that is going to work for us. Whether we go in the mornings or after work, we need to have it planned out. What days, what times and just do it. We told our training we'd go 4 times a week. I thought that would be a good goal to shoot for. If we had said 6 days a week, then we would end up getting made at ourselves and feel like failures when we didn't make it that many times. With 4 days, it seems more doable, and if we go 5 or 6 times, that's just a bonus. That would feel like we did an awesome job that week. I'm just not sure what schedule is going to be better. I'd prefer mornings, because there are so many less people there. The evenings are pretty packed. If we were just getting on a cardio machine that would be different. With using the other machines though I don't think I'd like it when it was busy. Plus, I really don't want to look like a fool. I know we won't, but you can't help but feel that way. I'm excited though, as I've said before. We've been eating a little bit healther, and I've been trying really hard to drink more water, no soda. I can already feel the difference. It's amazing how drinking more water and cutting out soda can make a difference in feeling bloated. I normally feel bloated all the time. I don't feel that way near as much right now. Anyhow, the new year is going to be the beginning of a great weight loss journey. I can't wait!

A Good Friend Of Mine

Work is slow for everyone these days. I am lucky to have the job that I have right now. I've been with the company for about 6 years now. About 1-2 years ago they cut back quite a bit. Many people just in my department were laid off. I know my boyfriend has been out of work  for months at a time over the last two years. He'll be on a job for 2 months and then out of work for 4 months and that just seems to repeat itself. A good friend of mine from back home has seen his business slow down as well. He's a disc jockey for weddings, corporate events and clubs. I set up a site for him, DJ Everett, to help get him some more exposure in the local area. I think if he gets his name out there some more there will be a lot more business coming his way. Many small businesses need to look at getting more exposure online. That's how people do most of their searching these days. I know I don't pull out the yellow pages anymore. I go online and search for the businesses I'm looking for. Whether I'm looking for a local auto shop, the closest tanning beds, gyms, flowers, party djs, or anything, I go online to find it. A lot of small businesses don't even have a website and those that do have websites they still aren't being found. I'm hoping I can help my friend by setting up some sites targeted at those keywords people are really searching for that I can bring in some more business for him.

Finally Hit The Gym

So we finally started going to the gym! Horray. I am so happy that we finally got in there. We got a free training session since we were new members. I ended up signing up for a trainer which I'm really excited about. We're going to see her once a week. I wanted to have someone tell us what we needed to do. What machines to do, when to do them and when to change it up. I'm just trying to figure out what kind of schedule we'll do. It's so busy in the evenings, but getting there in the morning isn't easy. I'd like to get most of my workouts done in the morning, because then it will be done and over with. It's too easy to put it off when you don't go until the evenings. Plus, once I go to the gym after work then my nights pretty much shot. If I could just get in there at 6:30 each morning then I should be able to get to work at a decent hour. I'm excited about having a trainer. I had my first real session with her on Friday. Man oh man am I sore! We did a full body work out. I'm surprised though, my legs and abs felt perfectly fine. It's my arms though. Oh my goodness do they hurt. Not just a little sore, but extremely aching pain. ha ha. I need to get in there tomorrow to do the full workout again. I'm just hoping that the soreness eases off enough by tomorrow that I can do it. I've been taking tylenol, using icy hot and taking hot baths, but I don't know that any of it is really helping. Oh well, I know that is part of working out. If you're not sore, then your not working hard enough. I don't think I'll be quite AS sore though in the future. It's just because I'm so extremely out of shape. Can't wait though, I'm going to start losing weight and feeling so much better. I can't wait to have more energy too. I'm always so tired. Looking forward to having the energy just to do simple things, like going to the grocery store after work, or getting online to work on some of my sites. Right now I just feel like crashing when I get home. Sometimes I feel like laying my head down on my desk at work by 2:00.

Christmas Tree Is Coming Along Nicely

Decorating is coming along ok. Taking longer than I had hoped. I enjoy decorating, but I wanted to get it done sooner and have the house cleaned so that I could spend more time enjoying it during my long weekend. Instead I spent a good chunk of Friday cleaning, Saturday I did more cleaning and started decorating and today I'm still working at it. I got the tree up last night, put together that is. I didn't start on the lights until this morning. Two of the strings from last year didn't work for some reason. Hate it when that happens. I tried putting a spare light in to find where the problem was, but all of my spares had bigger bases and wouldn't fit. Funny how that works. I think companies do that on purpose. They all have different sizes so that you can't mix and match extras when needed. If your strand goes out and you don't have the specific spare to that set your screwed. LOL Anyhow, I got about half way down the tree and we made a run to Smiths. I got two sets of 150. You'd think that would have gotten me through the tree, but nope. My Mom always did her lights from the inside out on each branch rather than just wrapping them around the outside. When you have lights all through the branches the tree glows more and the ornaments stand out more. The whole thing sparkles when your done. I love it, but it is the biggest pain in the bum to get the lights on. I'm done now, thank goodness. My boyfriend ran back to the store for me and got two more sets of 150. Would you believe that I still have 1 branch without lights? Oh-well, that branch will be at the bottom in the back so it really doesn't matter. Now I'm working on the ornaments. I usually start with all the gold, green and red balls. Then I move on the the different ornaments. Most of my Christmas ornaments are hand-me downs from my Mom. I love them all. They are all pretty random and some are really old. I'm trying to take just as good of care as my my Mom did with them. Well, I'd better get back to work. Just wanted to take a quick break.

Time To Decorate

So today I'm going to start decorating. Hopefully I don't create too much of a mess in the process. I actually tried getting some cleaning done first because I don't want to start with a messy house. Just nicer when things are clean and organized. I still have a bit of vacuuming and dusting to do, which really should be done before I start pulling all the decorations out. I have all kinds of decorations. Many of them were given to me by my Mom. She had a pretty big house to decorate when I was young, so now that she's starting to downsize she's giving me quite a few of her decorations. I got quite a few when I first moved out too. I'll probably start with the tree. I have an artificial Christmas tree that I put up each year. So much easier and cleaner than getting a real one. I also have a big artificial Christmas wreath that I made when I was young. I didn't make the actual wreath, but I decorated it with lights, bows and berries. I have been collecting a few pieces each year to a little Christmas village too. I have a hard time with it though with my animals. Well, mainly my cats. They think they need to walk through it the second I have everything in it's perfect place. It never lasts very long. It's nice once it's all set up though. One thing I don't have is a train for my tree. My boyfriend thinks they are annoying, but I like them. I remember my grandparents always had one running around their tree. My parents had one too, but for some reason, theirs would start all by itself in the middle of the night. You'd hear the choo choo whistle and it chugging along. There's a Disney Christmas Mickey Mouse train that I really like, it would look nice under the tree. If I don't get one this year, I'll definitely get one next year. Well, I'd better get to work. Lot's to do today. Hopefully my boyfriend let me play some Christmas music while we're working.

Snow Is Here

Snow is finally here for good, unfortunately. We had a pretty big storm the other day. Not quite as big as they thought it was going to be, but it was enough to give us a few inches that isn't melting away. That's the only thing I don't like about where I live. The snow lasts forever here. Seems like we get snow in October and it doesnt go away until May to June. Our summer lasts for about 3 months and it's gone. Not much of a fall or spring. The skiing is great though. We have several different mountains to go to. I haven't been in quite awhile, mainly because I've felt so out of shape. I know once I start having more energy skiing will sound more fun. We'll have to hit a Utah ski rentals shop first though for my boyfriend. He has a snowboard, but he doesn't have any other gear. When he's gone, he's just worn my ski pants, so if we go together, one of us will need a pair. I have all of my equipment. My family did a lot of skiing growing up, so I have skis, poles, ski clothes, goggles... everything I'd need. That is, if I can fit into them. LOL Hopefully within the next 2 months everything will start fitting better. I used to love skiing. I'm not the type to go if the weather is nasty though. I don't like feeling cold. I never have.

Big Winter Storm Warning

So we're supposed to be getting a HUGE storm today. My work told everyone to leave by 3:00 to ensure everyone had time to get home and safe before the storm hit. It's here now and it looks nasty out. The sky is black and wind is blowing like crazy. My boyfriend had to go run an errand so hopefully he'll be back soon. I hate him out driving in this craziness. You never know when someone else is going to lose control of their car and hit you. You could be as careful as you could possibly be and still get into a bad accident. It's super cold out there too. The wind feels like ice. Flights are getting canceled too. Glad I don't have any family trying to fly in for Thanksgiving. I'm sure a ton of families are being affected by that.

Time To Go To The Dentist

So it's almost time to go into the dentist again. I've been pretty good about going in every 6 months for the past couple years. I've been fortunate to not have a lot of cavities growing up. I don't think I had my first one until about 23ish. I had one, then six months later I had another. Then I waited about 4-5 years before going in again and bamm, 6 cavities. They filled them all at once too. My face was a mess. Way too many fillings to get done in one setting. Thank goodness I wasn't planning on going back to work that day. The dentist I have is pretty nice. I had to go the the salt lake city orthodontist for a long time when I was young. I had braces for about 3 years I think. I also had surgery to my jaw. That wasn't fun, I'll tell you that. I'm glad I did though, now I just need to take care of them.

House Fire

Our neighbors house caught on fire this afternoon. Scary to have that happen so close to home. It started from the guys car and spread to his house and then through the connecting duplex. Luckily everyone got out safely, including their pets. It spread so fast. I think it was one of the biggest black clouds of smoke I've seen coming out of a house. The duplex on the other side, which isn't attached had it's siding completely melted off. If it had just been a little bit longer it would have spread to our house. I guess who ever called it in said it was a car fire, so only one fire truck was on it's way. When they got close and saw the cloud of smoke they knew it was bigger than a car fire and they called in for another truck to come out. That's whats scary about living in duplexes, or apartments for that matter. Someone else might leave their stove on, have a faulty wire, or who knows and it can spread through your home before you know it. You don't have total control over what other people do.

Starting Christmas Shopping

Well, it's about that time to start Christmas shopping. I have no idea where to start. My sister and Mom told me not to go overboard. THat's no fun. I don't think I go overboard, they just know that I don't have a ton of money. My sister wants me to get them the pillow pets, which will be cute. I should probably go ahead and order those so that I have them. I'm not sure what else to get Kota. He didn't give me any ideas. Dang. I think it's starting to get harder as he gets older because I don't know what all he has. He's been really into Bakugan, but I'm not sure if he's as into it as he used to be. He loved the webkins for quite a while too. Wish I knew. I like getting things that I know they really want rather than getting something just to get it. Zane will be 1 1/2 at Christmas. He's now at that age where he's playing a little more. Last year I pretty much just got him a bunch of clothes because he was only 6 months old. For my parents I think I'm going to give them one of those flip cameras. I couldn't decide whether to give it to my sister or parents. I got a brand new camera from work, but I already had one, so no need to keep the new one. I'm getting my sister a copy of a magazine that she wanted. I don't know what to get my brother in law either. They are both very into fitness now, but I think they pretty much have everything they want. I was searching through Amazon the other day looking at toys, Christmas decorations and different things. There are a lot of really cute Disney theme stuff for kids rooms, like wall decals, furniture, comforters and so much more. I started looking through the toddler princess beds. There is such cute stuff these days. I had a really nice room growing up, don't get me wrong. But one of the princess beds would have been so fun. Any little girl would be super excited to have something like that. One of them even looked like a little castle. I had a pound puppy tent though that fit perfectly on my day bed. I loved that. I think just having a hideaway is fun for any kid. My nephew loves to build tents too. Well, that time again. Better get back to work.

Repairs Can Add Up On You

I never know what to do when things need to be fixed, or who you need to call. I need to contact someone about getting my brakes on my car redone. I also need to get my car door window fixed. We have several things in the house that need to be fixed too. We have a few broken windows, carpet is pulling up, leaks in one of the faucets. Seems like the list could go on and on. I looked in the phone book for plumbing salt lake companies, but I think my boyfriend should make that call. He's been meaning to get my car in too for it's brakes. Crazy how different repairs can start adding up on you. I think part of the reason we put it all off is because of the money. Problem is though, that if you put it off too long it can end up costing a lot more to fix than it would have if you had fixed it right away in the first place. A lot of things you can even fix yourself, but you don't want to do it wrong and make it worse.

Good Start To Monday

I am happy to say that I felt pretty good coming into work today. Since I took care of that issue that had been eating at me for so long, I really feel much better. Usually on Sunday nights I start dreading work, but I felt quite a bit less stressed this weekend and this morning. What a great feeling. I came in today feeling like I was going to have a great day, get loads of work done, stay productive and leave at a decent time. I don't want to leave everyday drained like I usually do. We're still trying to decide if we're going to go to the gym in the morning or after work. If I can leave at a decent time, then after work wouldn't be so bad. Maybe we'll alternate and go in the mornings 2 days a week and then after work 2 days a week plus the weekends of course. I want to start taking some classes too, so maybe we'll go in and do cardio & weights on thsoe days and then I'll stop in for 1 or 2 classes a week as well. I just know that I"m going to be so sore once we get going, but I know after a couple weeks I'm going to feel a million times better. I need to go grocery shopping too and figure out what kinds of healthy foods to eat. I'm not quite sure which is going to be harder, eating healthy or making it to the gym regularly. I guess we'll see.

Ending Up With Stretch Marks After Weight Gain

Another thing that really sucks about gaining weight is stretchmarks. You think stretchmarks are only for pregnant women, but anyone that gains weight quickly or even loses weight fast can get stretchmarks. I have some around my waist. I've never had any kids, but I've gone up and down in my weight a lot over the last 10 years. They say the best time to try and get rid of them is within a year of getting them. Hopefully I'm not a lost cause because I don't know when they truly happened. There are all kinds of creams that help prevent stretch mark scars and help get rid of them after they appear. I've read about them for pregnant women. I would assume they would helpful for anyone though. I might check into it further. I'm hoping to lose about 50 pounds so once I get rid of my weight I definitely don't want stretch marks showing.

Dart Night

So last night was dart night. Every Thursday from October through May I go to darts and the local bar. I used to help run it for the last several years, but since I live 45 minutes away I decided I didn't want to be committed to being there every week. Some weeks you just don't feel like going out after work, you know. Plus, when I do go, I'm pretty tired on Fridays. With how busy work has been these last few months I can't be falling asleep at work on Fridays. It was fun though, not too big of a crowd. Sometimes there will be 25 people, sometimes 8. Last night we only had 12 players. We draw for partners and usually pay out first, second and third place. If there's not enought people then we only pay first and second. I'm not too competative, I just want to feel like I did good myself. It's fun to hang out with friends too. Some people get super competative though. You almost don't even want to be their partners, because I end up playing worse. I'm so worried about them getting ticked that I don't even play as good as I usually do. Well, better get back to work. Thank goodness it's Friday. I'm so relieved. These last few weeks have been nuts. Hopefully we will hit the Gym for the first time this weekend and I'll start getting into that.

Facing Bad Decisions

So I finally sent off an email on something I should have taken care of months and months ago. Like I said in one of my previous posts, procrastination is a horrible thing. Nothing will go away by ignoring it. You might like to think so, but it won't. And, when you think about the stress you put on yourself by not taking care of something right away. You constantly have that thought at the back of your mind. It just gets worse and worse the longer you wait. I really need to make a committment to myself that I won't put off things that I'm afraid of dealing with. Weight loss is kind of the same in away. You constantly think that you'll start tomorrow, but then before you know it tomorrow is already over. Time goes so fast and if you keep saying tomorrow you will never get it off your chest. Anyhow, I finally sent an email off to some people, at least explaining a few things. It's not over or dealt with by any means, but I have to come to a resolution now. I can't keep stressing over this issue. I would be enjoying my job a lot more if I didn't have this issue stressing me out. Hopefully, I'll have good news to come...

Christmas Gifts For This Year

Christmas is around the corner and I need to start figuring out what I'm going to get my two adorable nephews. My sister recommended getting them pillow pets. Have you seen that infomercial? They're pretty cute. She wants me to get the monkey for one of them and the puppy for the other. I think they'll like that. I love shopping for my nephew's though. I don't have any kids so why not spoil them? Well, I was told not to go overboard this year. Please, it's Christmas. Oh-well. I'll probably get them at least two things though. I asked my older nephew what he wants and he said, "nothing that I haven't already asked for". Well, that doesn't exactly help me. LOL One year it was so funny, he had me take picture with my phone of the catalog on each page where he'd circled an item. It was funny, but it actually helped me while in the store. The pictures weren't great, but I could somewhat see what it was. Another idea for my little nephew might some wooden abc blocks. He has all kinds of toys that make sounds, sing songs, light up and so forth. Just something simple that he can build, stack and play with. Right now he just likes carrying little things like that around with him. He'll bring you something, like he's giving it to you and then takes it right back. He's funny.

Not Enough Time

Another busy day at work ahead of me. I have two conference calls, a meeting and I need to go through billing and invoicing with someone too. Plus, all of my regular work. I need to try to get out a little early so that I can get down to Pleasant Grove at a decent time to visit with my Mom since it's her last night here. Seems like there's just not enough time for everything.

Another Stressful Day

Today has just been one thing after anohter. Work is crazy. Before you can finish one urgency another has started. I had to keep reminding myself today, one thing at a time. I'm always so tired by the time I get home each day. Mentally drained it seems. I'm sure it would help if I ate healthier, drank more water and got into better shape. Then I probably wouldn't be so tired by the time I get home. I know it makes a big difference. I hate feeling like I need a nap everyday when I get home. I'm tired enough to take a nap, but it doesn't usually help. I'll just feel drained the rest of the night. I need to do something though. My Gold's membership is active now, so I need to start going. Just trying to figure out what time to go, whether it be in the morning, during lunch or after work. I think I might try going to some of the classes too. That might help motivate me to go in the mornings.

Trick or treat at work

Every Halloween the employees bring their kids around to trick or treat. I moved to the side building this year, so unfortunately, we didn't get near as many then I did in the main building. Either way though, it is still fun to see them all. We had a little Woody, a Dragon, Snow White, a princess and a few others. I was in the middle of my invoicing for the end of the month so I wasn't able to pay as much attention as I would have liked to. THey were cute though. Looking foward to see what tomorrow night is going to be like. We decorated our door and put big skelitan pictures up in our windows. We usually get quite a few trick or treators on Halloween. The only hard thing is that my Dog goes nuts everytime someone knocks on the door or if she hears people walking on the porch. I usually have to hop out the door and shut it real quick before giving out treats. Well, almost time to head out of work. It's been a crazy day. Lots to do, but I am so ready to get out of here.

Gold's Gym - Tips and Tools

via dev.goldsgym.com

So my Mom and sister got me Gold's gym membership for my birthday (which was yesterday by the way). I definitely need it, I'm just worried about how I'm going to fit it in and keep going on a regular basis. Seems like work is always so busy and I'm always so tired. I'm sure once it get going though I'll start feeling better. I might start by taking a couple classes. It's going to take awhile, but I'm excited to start using the membership.

Procrastination Is A Horrible Thing

What a long day. Work has been so busy lately. People were calling off the hook. I had several urgent classes to book. Presenters were calling with questions. To top it off I was taking calls for someone else since they were out of the office. It just seemed like it was non stop all day. Sometimes I'm so mentally exhausted by the time I get off of work. I have a big issue that I need to take care too that I have been totally dreading. I really, really needed to get to it today, but just couldn't find the time. I have to print off a ton of invoices too for someone else. Didn't get to that either. Hopefully I can get into work early in the morning tomorrow and start the day off on a good note. I'll get as much as I can done early, so that I can start working on my "issue" by early afternoon. The sooner I get that off my shoulders the much better I will feel. I hate having something drag on forever. It's my fault though. I let being too busy be an excuse for not taking care of it. Now it's a huge problem that needs immediate attention. That is why procrastination is such a horrible thing. Things do not go away, no matter how much you want them to, they don't. You can wish, but it won't happen. That's why it's always good to take care of something you dreading instantly. The sooner you take care of it, the easier it will be.... and less painful.

Learning new things

I'm so proud of myself today. Over the last few years I've learned how to create blogs, install plug ins, a little bit of html and how to work with an ftp. Yes, I definitely have much more to learn, but I think I figured out quite a bit on my own. One thing I would love is if there was a local HTML class I could attend. It would be great to have a better understanding of it. You know how community colleges always send out those magazines with their quarterly classes you can sign up for. The ones that extra for anyone to attend. Usually they can cost anywhere from $30 to $150.  I haven't seen any though about anything to do with html, programming or creating websites. I did see a class though about how to defend yourself from a zombie invasion. Yes, no joke. You can pay $35 for this. lol Anyhow, back to what I'm happy about. When I set up a new blog I sometimes spend hours trying to find the perfect theme. Usually it's to find the right header that would go with the blog that I'm working on. I know you can create one and just upload it and there are several people that you can pay to do this for you. Well... I learned how to create one myself today. It's nothing spectacular, but I think I did a pretty good job. All I needed was a picture and paint.net. I think it turned out pretty nice. I know the more I do it the better I'll get. Hmm, if I got good enough at it, I could create headers for other people.

Mia's Morning Ritual

Every morning around the same time, usually after my first alarm goes off my cat, Mia does the same thing. I like to set my alarm twice, once about 30 to 40 minutes before I'm actually getting up. That 7 minute snooze has never worked for me. Anyhow, these last few weeks Mia has been jumping up onto the night stand and she'll stand there staring down at me. Then she'll start picking at my hair. I'll knock her down 10 times in a row, but she just keeps jumping back up and doing it again. It's almost like she knows that I'm planning on getting up soon. She's my furry alarm clock. It's funny, but so annoying if I'm really not ready to get up yet.

Another Saturday

Nothing too exciting happened today. I worked online for most of the day while Tim played his video games. Tonight he's watching ultimate fighter, so I'm back online. He actually wanted to go to Applebees because they show the fights there, but honestly, I didn't really want to sit there for 3 hours and he didn't want to go alone. Anyhow, I have been doing quite a bit with internet marketing the last few years. This year I set up several Halloween sites which were doing really good. These last few days though sales seem to have really dropped. maybe it's now getting to close to the holiday so people aren't buying as much. I still need to get candy for my trickor treaters. We usually get a decent amount each year. I always end up with way too much candy though. I get a few bags and then think I don't have enough and run and get more at the last minute. Candy is so expensive now too. Most of the little bags of chocolates are $5 a piece and the bags don't even have that much in them. I don't remember it ever being that much when I was younger. I guess they figured people are going to buy it no matter what, why not jack up the prices.

BL Club - Running a 5K Article

via biggestloserclub.com

My sister wanted me to run a 5K with her. She loves running now. I feel so heavy on my feet I can't imagine running any length of distance. I've never been much of a runner, even when I was young, but I've also always been a little over weight. Definitely more overweight now than I was when I was young though. I don't know why it is so hard for me to get committed. I've tried different work out programs and I'll be really good for about 2 weeks and then quit. I signed up for the biggest loser club recently. I need to take more time and read through some things. I just ran across this article on running a 5K. It made me think of my sister and what great shape she is in.
