Rain and Sun

Okay today's weather is just weird! 

One minute it is sunny then the next minute it's down pouring! Crazy weather!!

Anyways I am enjoying it, I like different weather and I think we need the rain.

So my car is still at the shop. I made the appointment for the 75,000 mile service and for the squealing noise I heard coming from the engine.

The fan belt and pully system are not well and need to be replaced. I knew something was wrong when I didn't get phone earlier telling me the car was fine.

So it's going to cost about $320 for everything but it needs to be fixed and I will pay for it.

Guess I need to really save more for car repairs, lol. Also save for a rental car just in case.

So glad I did bring it down and getting it fixed. 

Since the car is there, I have been walking for work and today I walked  2 miles since I needed to mail out netflix.

I also saw my aunt today and asked if I could borrow her car to grocery shop for home healthcare.

She was on with it and she had to shop too so it worked out.

Thank you to my aunt for helping me! I try not to ask to much of you because I know you are busy all the time. You are an awesome aunt!!!!

Anyways it down poured when we went shopping and sat in the car til it let up.

Good thing too but looked at the weather and there was a system passing by.

Alright I'm tired and going to relax then bed and early morning tomorrow.

Cloudy Weather

My car is in the shop today so I walked to work. The weather was beautiful this morning and I was happy to get the walk in.

Well after working, I walked to the post office and home after. It clouded up and started to rain! I forgot to bring my umbrella too, lol.

Anyways I had my nike app opened to track my walk and I walked over 2 miles today :)

I haven't been out walking for a long time but I'm glad I did today. So looks like we might get rain today but that's ok.

I have a lot of books to read and think of what to make for dinner. 

Hoping I get my car back today, hopefully nothing is wrong with it either.

Will try to post more today or tomorrow.

Dinner tonight

This was my dinner tonight and I have left overs!

It is beef marinated in a balsamic herb sauce and had veggies. 

It was soooo good!

Credit Score

I wanted to talk about credit score.

I ruined my credit score with not paying on credit cards or my college loans. I did it and it's my fault. 

It took me 4 years to get out of credit card debt and I still have college loans and hospital bills too.

I went onto Credit Karma to see my credit score and it's very poor. I have decided to work on paying hospital bills and my college loans.  

I want people to know about this because having bad credit doesn't help when you look for an apartment or need a loan.

It sucks but I'm going to do what I can to have a better credit score and start paying my bills and keep paying them on time.

Check out www.creditkarma.com 

It is free and tells you if any loan or bill is still opened or if it is closed. I find it useful and I'm going to make my score a better one.

Don't ruin your credit, make it a great score!

Beach day!

I went to Hampton Beach today with my aunt!!!

I'm glad I went too and I spent a lot of money but I bought new jewelry which was expensive but worth it.

My aunt treated me to breakfast and lunch which was very nice of her.

We left early and got a good spot. I always thought it took two hours to get there but only a hour and a half.

I have the weekend off from both my nursing jobs so I decided to go. My aunt invited me and I needed to get out of town for the day.

I work so much that I really don't do anything for myself and after I took a vacation to Tennessee last month, I'm planning other vacations and treating myself.

If you don't treat yourself you may become depressed and that's how I feel a lot of the time.

As an example, my friend Jen. She says she will do stuff with me but doesn't then goes out with her friends and goes to the drivin and I'm left out.

She doesn't understand when I explain this to her even though she says she does understand. She really doesn't.

I have been in a depressed week and a half. No one wants to hang out with me or invite to go do stuff with them so I'm home a lot after working.

So for now I'm going to do stuff on my own because I am alone when it comes to the "friend" thing.

Jen was busy today anyway because she was having a yard sale and her grandma is staying with her so I don't want to impede on their time.

Other than that, beach day was fun :) I'm also a lobster because I have not been out in the sun like today and I'm red!

Well finishing a movie then bed then maybe to my aunts tomorrow.

Fifty Shades of Grey Trailer

So I watched the trailer for "Fiftey Shades of Grey" on the Today website.

I found out about the trailer yesterday when I was home and on Facebook.

The Today show showed a small clip for tv viewers but you can go online to watch the full trailer.

These are my thoughts on the trailer,

I'm very interested in the movie and read all the books too. 

Now I noticed a few things that were in the book that are not in the trailer,

When Ms. Steele interviews Mr. Grey there is no recording device like there is in the book.

The elevator scene was HOT!!!! I liked that. 

I'm not so sure if I like the people who are playing the characters but I will give them a chance.

Now one more thing, Beyoncé did a re-recording of her song "Crazy" and I LOVE it!!

So I'm going to use my countdown app on my phone and start counting the days til the movie opens on Valentines Day of next year.

Well I'm going to go and relax and I think I will check out the trailer again this weekend and it may change my thoughts.

Enjoy your day!

New earrings

Got new earrings that I found on Etsy. They are from Istanbul and I LOVE THEM!!!!

It's a blue leaf with a pearl in it, love how it dangles and love the closing it has.

Today is Monday

I wanted to update and yes it's Monday. 

I have been doing " Change Time" by John Cena. I started out doing very good and the last 3 or 4 days have been bad.

Not very bad but I have been sad and depressed the last few days. I'm basically a loser who has no friends that want me around.

They do things with other people and I'm always left out. It's been this way for years! Plus the whole thing on Facebook of tag yourself in 5 photos that make you feel beautiful, yep I'm not tagged at all and once again left out.

Anyways I didn't stick to healthy eating and ate some sugar and ice cream. So the result was gaing a few pounds.

I'm hoping to get back on track this week and get out of this rut I'm in.

So today is a new day, one to make my own. I'm working a 8 hour shift then home.

Hoping for a nap later today and figure out what to eat for lunch tomorrow and dinner tonight.

I will try to post again tomorrow.

Quick post

I'm going to bed soon so this will hopefully be a short post.

I have been in a unhappy mood since yesterday and I really feel like a loser who has no life.

None of my friends want me around and this whole thing on Facebook about 5 pictures that make you feel beautiful, yeah I'm not tagged in anyone's status.

I never will be!

So I also have been eating not the best foods. Maybe I can get back on track on Monday and hopefully get back to myself.

Ok, well I'm done ranting for now. Going to bed soon and getting up early for work.

New Tattoo

I did get a new tattoo yesterday. I will post pics too.

I never have gotten a small tattoo, they are always big ones. Well I guess I will not get a small once ever.

I went to Art for Life in my hometown and Dennis did the tattoo. I told him what I wanted and he could draw it anyway he wanted.

This is what he did

I did different angles. I will post more news later today. I'm going to work.

Still working on "Change Time"

Well I'm still doing "Change Time" and I have I died a little bit already this week.

I'm getting back on track today and feeling much better. 

I'm down to 178lbs today and I'm hoping to lose 4lbs this week.

Will update later and talk more about the nutrition.

Down Day

Really not happy today and trying to stay busy so I don't get any more sad. 

So as much as I'm sad I want to update on my status with "Change Time". In just over a week I have lost 4lbs! I have lost 3 inches from my hips, 2inches from my waist and my thighs stayed the same.

I look at myself and don't see it but I'm glad to be down in weight and to lose inches from my waist and hips.

I hope to lose 4lbs in the following week. It's not easy but it's working!

So I wanted to share that with everyone, not sure who reads my blog but if you do that makes me happy :)

So for now I'm cooking chicken and watered the plants outside even though it looks like it will rain at somepoint.

Might go to Franklin St after because I need my laptop I left there yesterday and I'm working at 3pm at the nursing home today.

Short shift today and I ordered more tea from Teavana! I also got the Perfect Tea journal to keep track of what teas I have and how long to steep for. Also bought more strawberry lemonade tea and got the Strawberry Rose Blush tea set.

Now just need to save up to get more tea before the end if the summer and before they take away their ice teas. It's only a seasonal thing.

Well that's all I have for now, going to relax and wait for my chicken to cook then cut it up and put aside for later.

John Cena and Change Time

A week ago yesterday I joined "Change Time" by John Cena. It is a program to lose weight and eat healthy. I started a little later when I joined. It is 10 weeks long and cost $100 but if you watch for it, you can get good deals! I got 40% off when I signed up.

Week one concentrates on nutrition and you do that. It was not easy for the first week. I like foods that are bad for you like, chips, chocolate, diet soda and popcorn, among other things. I have changed my ways of eating and hope to stick with it.

I have cut back on soda intake and been drinking more water and I have been drinking tea (not sweetened). Tea is okay to drink and I really try to limit my soda. In the past week I have lost 4 pounds so far and hoping to lose 5 pounds by tomorrow.

With John Cena's program, you can eat lean meats, fruits, veggies, nuts. Healthy fats are good and milk.

There is a group of what you shouldn't eat (sugar, refined sugar, sweets) .

There is also a workout video (2) that you do x2 week for 20 minutes. I did my first workout today and I'm out of shape!!! I'm tired from it too. The  second week of the program starts the work out videos.

So I'm happy this is working and will continue to write about it as I make progress.

Working

Been working a lot and took a vacation! I went to Tennessee last month to visit a friend and go to a anime convention in Memphis.

It was a much needed vacation too! I was happy to finally treat myself to a real vacation and got out of town. I normally take vacation time but never go anywhere.

I have now decided that I need to go on a vacation every year, doesn't matter where just out of town.

So I'm also planning a trip to England but going to plan it in 2 years and start saving early.

Ok more later just wanted to update since I haven't in awhile.

Also been reading a lot too and will post about that on my other page on here.
