What Else...

People should get paid to look for a job. I've been staring at the computer for 3 hours now and I've found 5 semi-decent jobs. I had not counted on dealing with unemployment in my YOTB.

Alas, c'est la vie. I'm not unemployed JUST yet, but I was told (along with the entire company) that bankruptcy is imminent. I am looking into independent study programs overseas now and I've sent off my application to a few teaching (ugh) positions in Japan. It will be fine. I need to be more malleable with my choices. No limiting myself!!!!!

I just got back from Dallas visiting the fam. I've acquired two amazing new fBook friends that I'm soooooo happy to have found. My cousins Adrian and her daughter Daphne. I love them so much and have missed so much of their lives. Its ok though...its all about going forward.

We've been communicating nonstop since I left Dallas...so so so so happy.

Somehow I managed to make it to the gym while in that hot state. I'm not sure, but I think I even left without gaining 20 lbs (which is usual)

Sidenote...

So I reach and surpassed my goal of losing more inches before I went to Dallas.

(13 inches to be exact *pats herself on her back*)

I was happy with myself I must say. But little did I know that it would

be broadcasted in the gym on a lil something they called "Wall of Fame".

As proud and motivating as that idea is...why must they put such details on the

wall. I don't have any hangups with it, but come on. Anyway, its there and its a positive reminder of my present body and future body (thanks Leen for that)

I will be pushing my cardio now.

I'm still trying to find the balance, but I've narrowed down my focus to legs and stomach.

Long-term goal, which was brought to my attention that I was missing by my mom, to be a size 10-12.

Getting healthy is the ultimate goal, but I didn't think about narrowing the focus to a point where all I need to do is maintain. Mom you're a genius.

Anyway that's where I am now.

Btw the pic is of my sis and dad staring longingly at the Grand Canyon (it was posed no worries, my sis thinks she's Annie Leibovitz its cool)
