Yet Tearyne Is Ambitious…

I was looking at my older pictures I had taken of myself, to monitor my progress, when I came to this realization:

My room  entire apartment has been the same disorganized mess as it was when I started dating my boyfriend back in April of 2010.

This is not acceptable. I don’t think that I properly acknowledge the passage of time, and I also think that I am lazy. I’m fixing this. If I were him, I’d probably have broken up with me by now. Or at least, I would heavily not consider taking the relationship to any deeper of a level.

I’m going to fix this. I wish I didn’t have to be up at 5 AM tomorrow morning for work. I’m already freaking out and worrying.

The name of the blog has changed again, to mimic one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite plays. This is my personal life blog now, I guess. I’ll link the other ones on the side. The website I used to use for hair care now has their blogs disabled from being viewed on the front page, so I don’t really life blog there anymore.

Anyway.

I have the next two weeks to myself – I won’t be able to spend any of it with my boyfriend, because I’m working in preparation for the Super Bowl the next two Saturdays. I’m going to have this apartment spotless and everything moved out. I had an interesting situation where a friend moved in, but due to some crazy stuff like soldiers going AWOL and cars breaking down, she moved out to stay with family for awhile.

Yeah.

I also have a dog here whose owners I knew. I found him and took him in until they came back for him. I just found out a few days ago that they moved away. They dumped him and moved away.

Yeah.

Just… yeah. I take on too many problems when I haven’t sorted out my own. No longer.

Hey everyone! I know it’s been quite some time.  I’ve been so busy – I finally got to go home for Christmas for the first time in two years to see my parents. The video is hilarious. But I’ve been busy every weekday from 7:00 am to 3:00pm because…

I got a full-time job, with benefits, at one of the top gyms in my region!

I am so pumped and psyched out about it. It’s a great environment, with great supervisors and a freaking great customer base. The place really feels like a community. Everyone is so supportive of me and my aspirations to grow. I can’t ask for a better place to work, learn, and grow, and I hope that I’m able to do my best to contribute back to the company and to prove to them what they already know – that I’m the best choice for the job. I’m learning that I need to mature some more, to match my abilities, and that I need to stop quitting.

I’m going to classes in the evening full-time nearby, so pray that I don’t explode into a bunch of Tearyne confetti. The big bonus about this job is that, of course, I get a free membership to the gym (and some discounts to go with it), and since I’m at the gym every day, I have no excuse not to get into the gym.

BALLER!

So, my goal is to lose at least 4 pounds a week every week until April 19, 2011 (13 weeks from now). I ate really poorly over the holidays, and I’m now 194.4 lbs. If I follow this plan, I’ll lose 52 pounds — putting me down to 142 pounds. That’s a pretty steep decline, but I’m also hoping to put on muscle. My plan is to incorporate at least 30 minutes of cardio 4 times a week and maybe, maybe some weights, if I’m lucky (I’ve got classes that start at 5:30 on my burner…).

I’m redoing the about section and refining what this blog is about in a bit here. Thanks for reading and catching up with my fit life; hope to be writing for you guys again soon here.

Sorry for those who might be watching this blog. Forgot that my domain name payment was due.

I have a bunch of REALLY GREAT news to tell you too! However, I’m on my way out to celebrate some of that great news right now. If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you already know!
