Checking in

Whoa.... It's been a long time.
Life has gotten busy.  What more can I say?  Well, actually a lot.

1.  I am pushing for a new job.  I am ready to take my career to the next level and I am ready to move on from my current job.  I never thought I would want to leave my current job but alas, I do.   It's not that I don't like my job.  It's just that I am ready for more ownership, more opportunity and a new manager.  So I have been talking to other departments and even looking outside of my current company.  I don't want to leave the company I currently work at but for the right job I might be tempted to leave.   This change feels right.  My favorite coworker has moved onto another team and my manager is just not interested in being a manager.   I am starting to feel exhausted from the short deadlines and dealing with my outside creative agency.  I am just ready for a change.
I will say that it looks like I might have a change coming in 1 month.  If i can pull this change off, it would be a very exciting change for me.  Fingers crossed!

2. Because of the change in my work situation, I am in flux.  What this flux has meant for me is a combo of eating poorly and getting depressed with the realization that I need to do the exact opposite of this.  I need to take better care of myself.   So I made the decision last week to detox and take a hard look at out of hand I was.   And then I realized I wanted to start lifting weights again.

3.  I have started to lift weights everyday and I feel amazing!  I realized that the only times I have successfully had the body I wanted were times when I was lifting weights everyday. I am also the body type that makes and sculpts muscles like a pro.  So with the realization that it was time to get my body under control I have started to making working out my priority.  But I don't love cardio.  I love doing things like snowshoeing or paddle boarding but I hate working out on a machine in a room.  However, I love weight lifting.  My body is responding instantly.  I feel strong.  I am able to support my back and I am toning up very quickly.   Plus, lifting weights is so good for me as a female.  Building muscles will improve my metabolism way more than cardio.  

4.  I am still going to school at night.  It has been a handful and I am not able to be as present as I wish I could be.  But I am still doing it.

5.  I am ready for changing my life.  I am ready to get settle down into a relationship and to make my career a priority.  I am ready for stability and for a family.

So much going on!  
And there is more happening that I can't share yet.  But you get the general drift.  It's all about change for me right now.  As exhausting as it has been, this will be a life changing year!
