Show me the money!!!

Well kids, sorry I was MIA all weekend but its because I really was MIA.

I worked Friday, Saturday, Sunday and last night. Thankfully I don't have to go back in until Friday. I need to get caught up on some things. Particularly my exercising and eating right.

I slept right through my alarm clock today so needless to say, I did not do my tempo run. I'm planning on doing it tomorrow. I just haven't decided if I'm going to do it in the morning or after work...


Hopefully I can get up and get it over with so that I can just relax in the evening. Jason doesn't have class this week because his instructor is away at a training thing so I really want to just relax and spend time with my boys. (Jason, obviously, and Ozzy)

Unfortunately, I was also not able to get my "long run" in for last week. I just didn't have the time or the energy. Plus, my new work schedule was really sporatic so that didn't help either.

I managed to get a workout in after my Weight Watchers meeting on Saturday (which I was up AGAIN on my weight. Drats!). I did my usual Saturday core workout and I also did two miles on the treadmill. I did .5 mi at 12:00, .5 mi at 11:00, .5 mi at 10:00 and then walked the last .5 mi at an 8% incline. It was an okay workout. It nice to at least do something.

So, as I mentioned above, I've been working like crazy. I feel like I haven't been home for a week. I was "in training" Friday, Saturday and Sunday and last night they let me go on my own for the first time. It was kinda scary. Eek! But we are really slow on Mondays so it was a good night for me to be by myself. I made $32 in tips! Woo hoo! It really is exhausting work, though. After the first night, my legs were soooo sore!

All in all, though, I absolutely love it. I'm looking forward to being more comfortable with the whole process so that I don't get scared when people come in that I'm going to have to wait on them. Especially because I'm supposed to be excited because that means more tips! haha I just haven't decided how I'm going to manage the money I make at my new job. I think I'll just take out my allowance for gas and then deposit the rest in the bank once a week to put toward our bills/debt. It will be better once Jason goes back to work as it will ALL be extra money, but for now, I really can't "rely" on that income since its so varied. Who knows, I suppose time will tell.

Well, I really don't have much to talk about today. I'm planning on doing my tempo run tomorrow, "pull" workout thursday morning, rest on Friday and "core"/long run on Saturday.

Not sure when I'll be back again, I'm looking forward to just relaxing the next few days.

Until next time...
