Carrie Does Life

This is my journey to become a healthier me! And...a few other things in my life that make me happy.

OPERATION HEALTHY KITCHEN I’ve been back from my Arkansas trip for almost a week now so I decided that it was time to go get some groceries.  My best friend Holly (who lives in Arkansas) and I made a pact that we were going to be cheerleaders to one another through this journey we have started to become healthier people.  We have decided to completely change the way we eat.  So….while shopping in Walmart this morning I bought some new food items to try.  I decided to get some yellow squash, talapia (I’ve never eaten fish and was told this is the best to start with.), and some new Lean Cuisine dinners.  I know….I know….it may sound crazy that I’ve never eaten fish or squash before but I have always been an extremely picky eater.  I am hoping to change that very soon.

"Hello, hello Ms. Carrie. Hope all is well with you! Sure do miss seeing your pretty face on my dash!
Are you going to be participating in the Do Life Tour when it comes around? You totally should! (No this is not Ben!) When he and his favorite tools come around my neighborhood, though, I'm doing it! Can't wait!

Stay awesome!

Hey Buddy!

I’ve been terrible with posting lately.  I’ve been really busy with summer school and I haven’t been motivated this summer.  I still log in daily and read all the awesome things that everyone else is accomplishing.  Hopefully one of these days I’ll get my act together and get motivated.  I enjoy all the messages you send me….they really lift my spirits.  I would absolutely love to participate in the Do Life tour but I can’t get the time off work to travel to the nearest city.  Maybe next year, I suppose.

I started using SparkPeople today to see if I like it better than Weight Watchers.  I&#8217;m not sure I like the food tracking as well but the exercise tracker is awesome!  I did well for the first day&#8230;stayed within my calorie range.  :)  Happy Dance! :)

WOW….I slept for 11 hours last night!!! I fell asleep in the recliner in my living room at 7:00 and woke up at 8:30 just long enough to go to my bed and slept till 6:00 this morning….I must have been exhausted and didn’t realize it.

The good news is that it’s FRIDAY!!! And it’s a holiday weekend which means an extra day off work. YAY! Have a wonderful Friday everyone!

This post has nothing to do with health and fitness but I felt like I needed to post it…even if it’s just for my own benefit.

There is a job opening at my work that I want to apply for.  It’s an assistant manager position.  I feel like I have done a great job in my current position and I am ready to move up a face a new challenge.  The problem is there are other people who want the position too.  I am extremely afraid of failure and if I apply for the job and don’t get it I will feel like a failure.  Of course there are new things that I will have to learn how to do and some people may think that I am too inexperienced for the job.  I have been in this profession for seven years now and I’m ready for something a little different.  

I didn’t sleep well at all last night…

I guess I have a lot weighing on my mind and a big decision to make today.
