As it turns out, the life of a salon receptionist is not for me. As much as I loved greeting all the pretty ladies as they came in to be pampered, the chemicals did not agree with me. It was a hard job to give up but the weekly, mind-numbing migranes just were not worth it. Luckily, I happened to get offered both of the jobs I applied to so after working 2 jobs for 2 wks I settled on the retail job. Having never worked retail, I never imagined how much I would enjoy playing dress up with beautiful woman all day. Nor did I imagine how easily sales would come for me. I am working part-time at White House Black Market in Biltmore Village and loving it. It is a great company and I can see myself staying with them for years to come and hopefully climbing the ladder. I am also really enjoying getting to know the fabulous woman I am working with and look forward to forging some good friendships with some classy ladies.
Diet and exercise were pushed to the back burner while I was working 2 jobs but now I'm back on track. My new obsession is Spinning and I think I've found a new workout bud (Thanks, Tiff! eh hem...Rach, Katy, Kristen). I've been planning for 4-5 work outs a wk and ending up with 2-3 so that tells me I need to aim for 6-7 and hopefully I'll end up with 5. My idea is to diversify and the great classes at The Rush Hendersonville Rd are great and having an elliptical (found on craigslist for $150) in my bedroom is a great way to sneak in a quick effective workout w/out having to travel to the gym. I'm hoping to get a Zumba class in this week also. As long as I don't get bored, I'll stick with it. Major plus for the wk was loosing 10lbs just from running around the store and not having so much down time for snacking. I'll take it!!!
So after a few frazzled weeks, I feel like I'm back on track. How are you doing with personal challenges (whatever they may be)? What do you do to find momentum when you hit a wall? What do you do to add variety to your workouts or keep from getting bored on your way to meeting any goal? Have you ever tried Spinning or Zumba? Did you enjoy it? Why or why not?
Counting down the days until summer. Can't wait to take my new lil SUV out on Carolina Beach.
