I got an AB LOUNGER 2 ! Its a machine that helps you do crunches. I am up to 125 a day. OMG my stomach muscles are so ouch! I also got the work out video with Bob Harper. He is the yummy southern instructor on THE BIGGEST LOSER! That work out kicked my ass! There is no other way to put it. Tonight I am taking a break from working out. I have lost 4 more pounds this week. So I think I can just chill tonight. My husband is a pilot and right now he is on a flight from Omaha back to home. So being alone I went wild!!!! I cleaned the kitchen and took a bath! I know right? Then I decided to start the Christmas gift ideas. Last year I made all of the Christmas gifts I gave out. I crocheted hats, scarfs, phone covers, pot holders...you name it I made it. This year thanks to Pinterest, I am making all sorts of cool things. Jars of sugar scrubs, jars of dried mixes. The best part of being home alone, well not totally alone I have Luna, but the best part about being home alone I can make my list of stuff to make and let me creative juices flow. I have always wanted to make crafts ever since I was little. I would beg my mom to keep old pringle cans and egg cartons for art projects. I was a weird child yes....I know. But see it my way, I was the youngest for a VERY LONG time and when we moved over to the middle east I didnt have many friends. In turn I made my own entertainment. Being a chunky person my whole life I had to create my own fun a lot. Not alot of people want to be the chunky kids friend. Those who are and were my friends I LOVE THEM. Dont get me wrong I am thankful for my friends and their amazing influence they have on my life. I would rather have two close as heck friends then a bunch of not friends.
Since my weight loss journey, one of the goals I have is to get my back to stop hurting. In 2006 I was picking a chair off the floor and my back just snapped. Luckily I worked near where my mom worked and I called her crying cause I couldnt breathe, couldnt stand up, I was hunched over like a hermit. To get to my mom's car I had to be wheeled out to it. LONG STORY SHORT---- my back has never been strong since. It hurts to stand for long time, it hurts to walk for a long time. Even laying for a while, it hurts. I am currently on pain meds that make every ache and pain in my body go away. I cant feel my toes sometimes when taking this medication. Its some great stuff.
I got a compliment at my job this week. Those are few and far between. We are recorded on all of our calls and then from those recordings we were evaluated. One thing that you have to do on the calls is make an emotional connection with your caller. If you miss part of a call three or more times you get coached on it. Well I try and make that emotional connection on each call, but my job is so repetitive that sometimes, its more like "GET OFF MY PHONE NOW". But my call evaluator this month told me during our coaching "listening to you is great, you make my job easy" I have been at this job for almost 4 years .I havent been at a job that long in my life. I didnt think I would have been there this long. If I hadnt started working from home, I would have quit. A regular that I talk to every day got me on the phone and they said "OH THANK GOD SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING" Its nice to know that I know what I am doing. I usually just BS my way through my day. Well that is enough rambling tonight, I am on my pain meds so I should probably get going. Till tomorrow :-)
