I'll take an order of motivation, please.

Alright...so I ate horribly this weekend! AND I didn't go to the gym Saturday or Sunday. It was stormy all weekend, and that is just great lazin' it up weather...so that's what I did! I felt like crap today though, knowing that I sat on my ass all weekend. So, today I doubled it up. Got to the gym and did the power flex and step class. It was easy; they were one after the other and the same instructor, so I stayed. The Power Flex class was pretty cool. I will definitely be doing that one again. You use barbells and weights for resistance training. Worked the arms, which is definitely needed at this point. I have always liked my shoulders - and this class should help get those shoulders looking good again. And hopefully get rid of some of the jiggly madness that we ladies hate oh so much. Tomorrow I look forward to finally trying the Reaction Cycling, aka Spinning, class. It looks like it's a 30-minute session, so we will see how I do with that! Never done a spinning class so it should be quite an experience. I am fully prepared to get my ass kicked.

In other news, I went to an interview today. It was at a staffing agency. Staffing agencies have always worked well for me in the past, so I am glad to go register with one or two to try to get my resume out there. Hopefully they will find something quickly. I am totally ready to head back to work. Not so much to actually work, but for money! There is just so much I need and want that a job is imperative at this point. I've seems that I've sent out my resume to thousands of ads, and I've only received ONE response. I really hope the Houston job market is in need of my skills. I'm trying not to get discouraged just yet. In reality, I've only sent out my resume to about 10.

I do have to say that craigslist has totally gone to the spammers, though. It's so fucking annoying to read an ad that sounds like the PERFECT job for you, just to waste your time sending your resume, editing your cover letter, as well as the intro to yourself in the email, just to receive some fucking automated response saying, "Go here to complete an online application, but you must register with this bullshit site that will continuously send you spam emails for stupid insurance sales agents positions." I swear, I've received about 5 of those responses and at about that point, I've decided to ban craigslist for the rest of my job search.

That is all for today.
