My new job

Well I ended up turning down the job at the preschool (long story lol) and I got hired on at Walgreens working in the cosmetics department. I started that this week and so far I LOVE it! I think I'm catching on pretty well and it's so physical compared to my job as a nanny. But until my schedule is normal (this week is training) my workout is going to be work lol My legs and butt are so sore, and today I was lifting heavy boxes around, along with tons of squatting and walking. After my last job consisted of mostly sitting around and then being unemployed for over a month my body is so sore and tired.... I've ended up falling asleep once I get home without meaning to. Tomorrow's going to be an easy and apparently boring day, I have to do online training at work all day, which everyone said it's loud and distracting doing it online in the office at work. 

I also need to figure out eating while I'm there... I have a 30 minute lunch break but that would pretty much get me home, enough time to kiss Drew hello and then walk out the door.... So then I seem to eat a bigger breakfast, not much for lunch, and then a bigger dinner when I get home. My eating is no longer every 2-3 hours like it used to be, I don't even have time to think about being hungry when at work, but I do have water with me and every chance I get I take a quick drink. 

Jillian Michaels Maximize Your Life Tour

Last night I went with my parents to see Jillian Michaels with her Maximize Your Life Tour. An add for the tour popped up on my fb page 2 months ago and then it hit me that that would be the best birthday present possible for my mom, we all LOVE Jillian Michaels. 

I don't even know where to start with explaining how amazing last night was, things she said would really hit home and make me realize what I need to change in my life, in my weight loss journey, and in my fitness journey. 

My absalute favorite quote from last night was from when she was explaining that your motivation has to come from within, she can't motivate you, I can't motivate anyone, she can support you, I can support you, but your motivation has to come from within, you have to WANT it! And she ended up saying (sorry for the language, she didn't have a filter lol) "Fuck being humble! Kick ass and be awesome!!!" I don't know that just really hit home for me. 

She made me realize that I need to quit beating myself up when I cheat on my diet, she said to eat 80% healthy (organic/clean if you can) and 20% whatever the hell you want. It is a life commitment, I can't expect myself to never eat a double cheeseburger and fries again. 

When it first started her little girl and boy were on stage dancing around and waving at everyone, they were adorable! 

And I just have to say I would kill for her arms, they were absolutely gorgeous!! I don't want to get "huge" or however you want to word it, but I want to definitely be ripped, I want people to look at me and know that I workout without me saying anything or flexing lol! 

One thing thing I learned last night is I need to follow my passion, do what makes me happy, and it made me realize I really do want to get certified in group classes so I can teach a bootcamp eventually, and that I want to get certified in exercise/sport nutrition, I may not be able to be their motivation, but I want to help people who are overweight, out of shape, or just need an exercise/eating plan. I just don't want to do it until I reach my goal, I don't know about anyone else, but even though I'm not overweight I'm not small or fit looking, and for me I wouldn't take advice from anyone unless they looked like the follow their own advice.
