Back to School.... Maybe

So, I have been talking about being a Baker for years now, and have been thinking about opening my own business within 5 years. But upon looking at the jobs out there they want you to have some experience before I went into the field. So let me step back a second.

I had my annual review today. I hate annual reviews, I get this sick feeling inside and doubts that I did a good job. I could always do better,well I was wrong. I had this kick review saying that I had performed above and beyond the expectations. That I was a valued employee. ME?? Seriously??? Okay I can take that.

During this review I was asked about my future plans in the company. Where did I want to go? I was like.. "Really... Nowhere." This company that I work for does not really do what I can do. They do Tech support, and I am good at being someone's personal assistant more than really being a Supervisor, or IT.

I told her that "I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grow up". Mind you she knows that I wanted to be a baker. That is pretty much all that I talk about now and days. How much I love to bake, and make things that are healthy. She said that I should look at going back to school. This is a great time to do so... because it is a bad time to look for work.

She suggested a local college in the Kirkland area that has a Baking degree. An Associates in Baking. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! Yup, about 8,000 for the entire degree. I could not believe it. So I am having the information sent and said that I would love to start in the Winter.

Maybe I will start school.. in the Winter, maybe not.. only time will tell.

Changing again

So it is summer yet again and the office had the company owners show up. My boss said we should be professional and I took that to dress the part as well. So I looked in the closet of doom and picked out a few skirts and chose one that was pretty. I hadn't put the skirt on in months. (I hate skirts) I couldn't get the skirt over my hips. I was pissed. I have gained soo much weight for a job that pays the bills. I think that the thing that sealed it for me is that i found a job that requires me to lift 25 Lbs to do something I want to do... Baking COOKIES!!!

So I decided that I can't take not fitting clothes in my anymore. So I have decided to start to change my eating habits, and exercise a little bit more. I for the last two days have been doing Yoga in the morning before work.

I do plan on getting to the bike and doing some cardio. Also I plan on doing some bench pressing once I convince Uurs to spot me. I dislike lifting free weights with out someone spotting me. Something I was instilled when I was doing weightlifting in high school.

So I have had yogurt and berries for breakfast with some additional protein. Lately it has been hot pockets. (too hot to cook) But soon enough I would be able to just get motivated. I want to lose this weight and be able to lift those 25 lbs soon.

Maybe soon enough I will be able to find something new, and fresh and maybe I will lose a little bit of the weight. Here is to hoping.
