Batwoman Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 That is outstanding. I was just about to ask you about the job hunt. I'm really glad you landed a new one. That can be such a huge relief. I will have a handful of bacon tonight in your honor! Cheers. 1 Quote I'm a time traveler, but I can only go one way and only a second at a time. Link to comment
JessFit Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yes, eat all the bacon! Ain't no party like a bacon party! Thanks guys. Since this is a public forum I've tried not to post too much about the job hunt but I'm glad to report that I am no longer hunting. *plays "take this job and shove it" in the background* Quote Warrior, Ravenclaw, book lover, history nerd, Red Sonja wannabe Current Challenge Battle Log Link to comment

JessFit Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks ladies! Super excited! I've been celebrating by eating lots, sewing lots, and watching downton. Not gonna lie, pretty good week so far Quote Warrior, Ravenclaw, book lover, history nerd, Red Sonja wannabe Current Challenge Battle Log Link to comment
JessFit Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Ok, so due to the lovely weather, my car being in the shop, and the interview and subsequent celebrations I haven't been to the gym since Monday. Tonight I'm hoping to yoga and pick up a pizza before the snow hits hard. Then I shall curl up with the downton and the sewing or something to keep me busy and happy and warm. Tomorrow is supposed to be a Chi NF meetup where we planned to lift but we are supposed to get 6 inches of snow tomorrow during the day and I'm not sure that drive is a good idea in the snow so I'm a maybe about that. Sunday shall be a lot of wonderfully non-paleo pasta at girls lunch and then who-knows-what for the superbowl. My mom may or may not be hosting a party. Hoping to get a lift in Sunday if I don't tomorrow. While I don't have much to report on the workout front I feel like I'm in a good place anyway. I took this challenge as a not-challenge to try to get a job. Mission accomplished. I also wanted to focus on myself and not stress. This is working! My morning routine is getting better, I'm using my "happy" sun lamp every morning for a few minutes while I get ready to combat winter blues, I'm taking my vitamin every day, and I haven't had to go out for food for lunch all month because I've been on top of that. My evening goal routine isn't as solid yet. The nightime yoga, meditiation, and journaling are spotty. That will be my goal for next week. Now that I've knocked out my big goal for this not-challenge I'm excited for the next challenge to start. It will be an adventure getting used to my new schedule and learning how to fit in the gym. Yay adventures! Quote Warrior, Ravenclaw, book lover, history nerd, Red Sonja wannabe Current Challenge Battle Log Link to comment

trendywendypdx Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 You are kicking butt! You made a great decision by deciding to have a non-challenge and focusing on you. Harnessing the power of awesome, that's you!! Quote level 6 ranger Current Challenge Fifth | Fourth | Third | Second | First Battle Log Link to comment
JessFit Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Ohhi! It is Monday. Monday funday? Not usually, but I'm going to try! I've eaten so not paleo for the last 5 days. "Celebratory" and all. How can I turn down celbratory food, in honor of my new job, at my favorite pasta place? Paleo isn't a "goal" of mine in the defined sense so I worry less about that, but I'm for sure feeling slugish from the pasta, pizza, and fried pickles that have been a part of my life lately. Worth it? Hell yes. Can I live like this regularly? Oh lord no! Aiming for pretty paleo the rest of the day today to reset a little. Friday I ran, went to yoga, and got bird of paradise pose in yoga! Woohoo! Saturday I lifted, no power cleans because the bar wasn't available Oh well, still a good workout, plus LOTS of snow shoveling.Work weights:Squats: 145x3x5OHP: 57.5x1x5 & x1x3 <-Harder than I remembered it would beLat pulldown: 120 pounds3 sets of: 1 jumping parallel pullup, controlled lower, 1 jumping regular pullup, controlled lower, and 3 dips. This weekend I also got back into sewing. Making travel sets for a friend's parents who are going out of the country soon. Made passport covers, luggage tags, sleep masks, and the dad got a shoe bag and the mom got a jewlery bag. I also LEARNED HOW TO USE THE EMBRIODERY FUNCTION ON MY MACHINE! So excited! I needed a couple nights of staying up late sewing and wathcing Downton (I finished season 4). It was wonderful. Today I plan to lift and maybe run, clean a good bit, and then I'm taking my mom to a yoga class with my favorite teacher. Here is to hoping for a productitude day. 1 Quote Warrior, Ravenclaw, book lover, history nerd, Red Sonja wannabe Current Challenge Battle Log Link to comment

AlexCold Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Wow Chicka, good lifting. You know, you're ability to squat more than me motivates me very much. Keep it up! Also that 120 lat pull-down is no joke! Make today so much fun, if only to confuse and frighten your coworkers. If I were her coworker I would just think: Huh, Jess is really happy. She must have gotten laid over the weekend. Mental high five! :snaps fingers: 1 Quote Pinterest: Alex's Paleo Wins - Recipes on Pinterest Instagram: alexcold23 MFP: dalex916 Link to comment

Also, I didn't get laid, I ate great food and lifted a lot of weights, but the results are similar. Oh I know, I'm in no hurry. Just extra motivating to me. There's a little tiny girl, maybe 110lbs tops who squats more than me. Extra motivating. That's just what I would assume of someone overly happy on a Monday.

trendywendypdx Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Check you out with lifting all the heavy things!! Also, when you said you nailed the bird of paradise, I thought of a ship on Star Trek. Yeah, not the same thing. I'm so jealous you can sew. I had a sewing machine once and nearly put my eye out. I've decided sewing is not for me! Quote level 6 ranger Current Challenge Fifth | Fourth | Third | Second | First Battle Log Link to comment

JessFit Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I know! I cannot even imagine how that would work! Anyone can sew, provided your sewing machine isn't posessed as Wendy's seems to have been... Quote Warrior, Ravenclaw, book lover, history nerd, Red Sonja wannabe Current Challenge Battle Log Link to comment
trendywendypdx Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well, I guess I didn't put the needle back in correctly after trying to rethread it with different colored thread. I turned it on, stepped on the pedal, and the needle went flying, inches from my eye. From that point on the demon machine was banished from my domicile. And thus began my fear of sewing machines, in good company with escalators. Quote level 6 ranger Current Challenge Fifth | Fourth | Third | Second | First Battle Log Link to comment
JessFit Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hahaha I can't figure why you would have even taken the needle out to thread it... Now I want to hear the escalator story!
