So, I'm getting used to things with work, and getting fit. I'm actually in a position that might work out better for me in the long run. We'll have to see, I'm not holding my breath.
As for Working out, I have a trainer and he's a lot of fun. Though I did call him a doodie head last night. He laughed at me because I think other people prefer to use foul language, but I just can't bring myself to even when he's pushing me Really hard. OH well, I go back on Wednesday let's hope it's just as hard so I can call him that again.
So, I've been going through a lot of changes in my life the last two weeks. I went back to the gym and got a personal trainer. Let me tell you, it's been the craziest experience of my life. I'm SO thankful that I decided to do this, I am already beginning to feel better. I'm losing inches, etc. So, it's all a good thing.
Things at work changed as well, I moved to a different department and unfortunately requiring me to take a pay cut. Hopefully, I'll be able to make it up with Overtime but we shall see.
For now that's all that's new in my life, and for most that would be a tremendous change. However, this is the story of my life. There is Always something that is changing tremendously for me.
If any one knows me they know I Hate the dentist, I've dentist's work on my mouth when it wasn't completely numb. Tears streaming down my face I vowed I would Never go back, then I met Dr. Dickson my boss at work recommended me to him because like me she has issues with the dentist too. Well, let me just tell you, if you need a good dentist who cares about how you're feeling when you go This is the guy to go to. His office if warm and inviting, he offers you a blanket in case you get cold. It's definitely worth it to see this guy, if you're interested let me know and I'll give you his number. Seriously, he's an amazing dentist.
Yesterday, I went and donated a few hours to the Utah Food Bank. We put fish sticks in plastic bags. Let me just say this, if I never see a fish stick again it will be too soon. I love fish, but now that I know how fish sticks are sorted (Kinda like All processed foods) I realize it's not something I Ever want to eat. However, doing what we did was really cool, because these bags of fish sticks are going to help some needy family out there who could really use it.
If you are interested in donating a couple of hours to the food bank you should check out their website and sign up.
