Update on my Health and Fitness Journey

| | Comments (0) Bookmark and Share
Well, I’m only at 128 lbs. of my 120 lb. goal. My waistline has crept up an inch now, from 29" to 30" again. The curse of skipping the gym too much. This is getting me back into the frame of mind again to hit the gym more. I think my not working yet is depressing me, and I haven’t wanted to do anything! I’ve got to stop that. Getting back to the gym will hopefully help me get out of the duldrums.

Update On My Medical Coding

Well, I finished my extern at iMed for school Friday. It was bittersweet. While I really enjoyed my time there, and learned TONS, it was sad to leave. It was a great experience for me and it would have been amazing to get a job there.
I go for my exit clearance at school Tuesday, and then it’s the job hunt for me. I hope it doesn’t take me too long to find employment. In the meantime, I’ll be studying hard for my CPC certification exam. It’s a very hard exam I’ve heard. 150 questions with a 5 1/2 hour time limit. It covers everything from terminology to actual coding, to billing and insurance. I’m hoping to take the exam in mid October, but I may not get in on time, so I may have to wait until November, but I’m definitely going to do it this year!
I have an application in for an Executive Administrative Assistant position at the North Cypress Medical Center. I will be calling and following up on that Tuesday as well. Wish me luck on that, it’s the direction I want to go with my career in the long run, hospital administration.

Hope everyone has an AMAZING holiday, and please be safe!

Mmmm

Enjoying a nice dinner of my fall-apart barbecue chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. Since I didn’t have time to eat today, I can spare these extra calories. lol

I hate that I haven't blogged in so long! I've been busy with school and client paintings. I'll try to blog more often, even if it's just a little blurb every now and again.  :)

Weight Loss

| | Comments (0) Bookmark and Share

I've started a new journey for myself.  My love for food is finally catching up to me.  Although I don't need to "lose" too much "weight", I do need to tone and flatten!  It's just getting frustrating when carrying a lot of grocery bags and men running up asking if I need help, or (and I am going to try to quit once and for all), people looking at me with disgust when they see me smoking because I LOOK pregnant!  It's time to take control of it all!  I'm going to slim up and flatten my tum once and for all.  :)

I'd love the support, for the change AND to help me quit smoking.  Especially on the smoking part.  I've been doing it for so long (24 years) that it's hard to go cold turkey so I'm trying my hardest to cut down to eventually quitting for good. 

So any good thoughts and words would be greatly appreciated!

I will post a photo of my current self tomorrow, and keep this updated on my progress.

Also getting Fred in on it, but his workouts will be very light until he gets a good word from his doctor. I don't need him dying on me now. But he is overweight, not obese, but needs to drop a good 30 pounds to get where he should be.  :)  I am changing our eating habits, and OMG it's going to be hard to stay away from Outback now (darn kids for working there and getting us discounts!  LOL).

Snow in Houston!

It snowed in Houston today, it was so cool and exciting. Us Southern Texans get excited at the sight of snow. I wish I lived up North where it snows every year, but maybe someday.

Here is a little video I captured with Katelynne goofing off in it. Sorry it's shot mostly against my truck, but it wasn't a blizzard and you couldn't see it well except against something dark.
