More Employment!

Now it's my turn. Before you get too excited, don't. It's just a few hours a week at the local Curves. However, I am extremely excited, because not only to I get to get out of the house for a few hours a day, I get a free membership! This is the opportunity I've needed! Those who know me know that I'm not motivated enough to lose weight unless it happens by illness or is extremely, unbelievably convenient. This time it's the latter, thank goodness!
I'll start training on Monday, and if the lady in charge says I can, that's also the day I'll be starting my workout! Woo hoo! I'm looking forward to it. I know it's not ideal, but it's a job. In the meantime I'm going to get certified to be a substitute teacher and then start that in the fall. If Will keeps the job he has now and I keep the job at Curves (it's in the late afternoon, so it wouldn't interfere with subbing) we'll be making enough to support ourselves again! Yay!

Anyway, my next goal is to get Will started in classes at school. Once he's into it, I'm going to take a harder look at our situation and see if I have the time/money to take a few classes and get certified as a high school teacher, which would be the ideal job unless I suddenly become rich for no reason. I'm hoping that will happen. Let me know if you want to send a donation my way!

Also, I was going to post a "before" picture of me, but you all know what I look like. I think I'll take one, then wait until I can post it with the "after" picture next to it. In case something happens and there is no "after" and it's all just "before." Yup.

YAY! My mom loves Curves, she's been going for years, and has lost a lot of weight. I went with her once and would only recommend doing something a bit more productive on the "rest" periods than just walking in place. Do some squats! You can do it! I'm excited for you, this sounds perfect.

Yay! I am so happy that you both have jobs now! You've been on my mind lately. I miss you!
