PASSED!!

In the words of Ice cube, "Today was a good day"

haha well, for the most part!
I passed all of my employment exams ON THE FIRST TRY...That usually doesn't happen.  I have major test anxiety, but amazingly was the only one with no re takes! WOOHOO!! Boss asked me if I wanted to start Sunday but I wanted the weekend to recuperate and just relax, so I start next week sometime.

I'm really anxious but excited!

I did go out to eat tonight, we went to Hard Rock Cafe (HOT WAITER TOO - WOW! Tats, and bandana, and he touched me! AHHH) but I was good and had a veggie burger with a salad.  Dunno if i was within 400-600 calories though because I had a drink :-| but sorry, you can't take alcohol away from me!

it's okay, I just went hardcore at the gym for an hour.  I'm down to 208 right now.  My goal is to get to 200 by the end of March and my ultimate weight loss goal is 160 and that's the norm for my height and BMI.  I've gotta go back to eatin' healthier though and if we do go eat out, I have to stick with chicken or salad :| it may suck but it's what has to happen if I want to really make a change.  Tomorrow will be hard because it's Saturday, nothing to do and I will really want to sleep in, but I need to make sure I get up early, take my Ionix supreme shot and have my morning shake before I curl back in bed and go to back to sleep, but I fully intend to do so.

Quick note, Alex had an apt with his counselor today and we discussed the past behaviors, family history, etc and I have papers to fill out as does the teacher.  From the pamphlet that I have and the paperwork that I'm looking at, Alex most likely has ADHD.  I've been aware of that for a long time, but I'm glad it's finally being put out there for everyone in his life to see, so he can get the help he needs to lead a happier, more productive life.  His father is sort of on board, and he has to be because his son is suffering, and we all have to rally behind him to get him the help he needs.  No doubt in my mind he has all the symptoms of ADHD, and with proper counseling and guidance, and medication, I'm really hopeful he'll be able to turn his life around and make friends.  As it is right now he's barely able to make friends, and keep them, because he's doing thing that is pushing people away, and making it hard for him to maintain friendships, and not all of that is his fault.  He'll always be a bit of a loner, but he's also very smart and funny, and with medication I think he can curb some of those "Sneaky" and "deceptive" behaviors so he will be able to have good relationships with his friends, and not be the kid always left out.  It will make my heart hurt less to know that he's making good friends who want him around.  When a mother hears that her sons friends are speaking negative about him, it's HEART BREAKING and I'll do anything I can to make sure he's feeling good about himself, and he's making and KEEPING friends.  Time to hesitate is through, and I'm really hopeful he'll be on the right track, VERY SOON.  God knows this family needs it.  I'm always paranoid that he's so hyperactive that not even ADHD medication will help, and I can see him being the only child who sees no results LOL...but I hope it can work, and he can CALM down, and be able to live normally...That's all I want for him.

K, so, the quick note wasn't exactly quick, but it's good to get it out in the open.

I'll be back Sunday or Monday.  Sunday I start my next cleansing day! WOOHOO! So far cleansing days, Ionix supreme shots (MEGA ENERGY) and the snacks are my favorite part.  The shakes are growing on me and I'm going to buy some of the fruit to add to the shakes to spice it up a little!

Just gotta keep MOTIVATED and remember to stay away from the harmful foods, gluten, sugar, fats, red meat, grains, etc...So basically anything I've ever liked in the past LOL

OH well, beauty is pain, and I'm tired of looking in the mirror and hating what I see.  I want to watch my body slim down and be the best that I can be -- It's a rush to lose weight, and now I want to tone, and be healthy AND have energy, and feel good overall, and most importantly be free of harmful toxins.  Love knowing that my body is taken care of and maybe I'll live a long and healthy life after all :-)  Just gotta make it through these tough months when my stomach is grumbling and begging for foooooooooood! Time to find some alternative choices and step out of my comfort zone a little (IE Fish, Tofu, Quinoa, etc) and try some new things.

Color run is coming up and I'll be doing it with Cyell & Sarah I know those girls are hella fit, and I'd like to be able to keep up come run time! That'll be my 3rd 5k in 3 years and I'm doing 1-2 EVERY year! WOOHOO! Can't wait!

okay, me tired, and sleep is something I need WAY MORE of!

Tata for now
