For those of you who don't know I graduated from college with a degree Graphic Design in December of 2010. The obvious sucky job market caused me to work at Pier 1 Imports. I was pretty much their work horse, I am pretty strong so I spent most of my shifts there moving furniture, unloading 30 foot trucks of merchandise at 6am and moving heavy displays all around the store. As you can imagine this, along with standing all day helped keep me in shape along with my workout regimen.
Everything has changed in the past few weeks. Due to my schedule at Pier1 I didn't have time to plan meals or sit down and type on my blog because my schedule was so inconsistent. Now I have and Administrative Assistant job for one of the larger General Contracting companies in my region and I work Monday- Friday 8am- 4:30pm. It's early for me, something I am not use to but I love that I know what to expect and I can plan everything accordingly in my schedule, not to mention I have weekends free now which is amazing. The down time in the office gives me a chance to write on this blog again!!
I am no longer making barely above minimum wage and although this job is not in my field of study, it's a start and I love this grown-up feeling I have coming to the office everyday.
I currently reside in Baltimore where I went to school and where Pier 1 was located. Now I am working closer to my parents house and I have decided in order to pay off some debt and student loans I am going to move home with my parents for a little while until I save up enough money to either buy a house or rent a nice apartment. I feel a little lame doing this but many people I know have done the same not to mention studies show that in this current economy over 89% of recent college grads move back to their parents house.
But anyway on to the dieting. I have been reading a lot on diets, nutrition and over all general health. I hope that these big changes in my life along with some newly acquired knowledge will help me get back on the horse to my ultimate weight loss goals. I hope that my insight can help others who come across my blog as well!
Happy Dieting!
