It's my life

So, I think I have given up on the 60 days thing. I will update this when I feel like it. Haha. I don't think I can write something everyday. I think this would get really boring if I did. Obviously from the previous post, my weekend was drama filled, to say the least. I'm actually glad it is over. Let's hope the next one is good.

My allergies have been bothering me since this weekend. I was hoping when I moved to El Paso, my allergies wouldn't bother me as much. Needless to say, that they are most definitely not as bad as they could be if I were still living in College Station at this point, but they are bugging me. Hopefully with the medicine I got from the store yesterday will help me be rid of them!

So, I was supposed to be working by last Sunday at Best Buy. I still have not heard from them. Which is kind of making me worried. I had to take a drug test, which I know there was nothing wrong with it, as I do not use drugs. They had to do a background check, I have never been in trouble with the law. Unless they consider speeding tickets, then well, I definitely will not get the job, haha. During my second interview, with the General Manager, he asked me if I had any other job opportunities. I explained to him that I had an interview with Target and the City of El Paso. Even after telling him this, he offered me the job. I don't know if he is second guessing himself, and decided after all not to hire me. Maybe he thinks I'm too over qualified. I'm not sure. But I sure as hell wish that they would have said something to me before I went and bought clothes for the job. I'm probably doing all this worrying and venting and they will call me today.

So, currently I am on this smoothie making binge. I LOVE smoothies! My favorite one is by the Barefoot Contessa, it depends on how many people you are making it for and your tastes. Generally this is how I make it for just myself, I use one banana, 2-3 strawberries (hulled and quartered), and about one cup of orange juice. She uses freshly squeezed orange juice, I just use OJ out of the carton. They are really good. Also Jamba Juice makes these bags of frozen fruit, and all you have to add is one cup of Apple Juice and blend. They are really good. I want to start doing these with fresh fruit though. I need to look up some more.

Lately, I have been noticing an improvement in my strength. Yesterday I went to an Abs and Core class and we had to do a side plank for 30 seconds on each side. When I began working out and going to these classes, I was not able to hold a side plank for more than about 10 seconds and a regular plank for 30 seconds near about killed me. Well yesterday I was able to hold the regular plank with no problem for 30 seconds. I was able to hold the side plank for 30 seconds, like the whole time, I didn't touch the floor once. I was so happy! Also after the Abs and Core class was a strength and toning class that I had never been to that I wanted to try. We did a side plank in this class, but we had to hold a kettle bell straight above our heads, I was able to do this no problem! How awesome! Not to sound conceited or anything, but I am REALLY proud of myself.

I also like to do this in the morning when I wake up. This is a video of my cousin Katie who works at a Pilates studio, now keep in my that she is the mother of 3 children, and looks awesome! So if you want a good thigh work out try this!

Also, lately I have been working on teaching Brandy new tricks. I have successfully taught her to speak. Whoever said that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, was a liar. Anyway, not much else to say. Have a great day everyone!
