The Essential 'Shot

"These are the contents of my head"

Sunday - November 11

Sunday, November 15, 2009

It's just not possible that after lounging and napping ALL DAY that I'm actually TIRED! Time to make some coffee.

Tomorrow, I have an appointment with a councilor at the local community college to help me determine what course of continuing education classes would be best for me. Since the job hunt has been less than fruitful the last NINE MONTHS, I'm thinking of learning how to be an IT/Network/Security something-or-other. My concern is that although I'm confident that I can learn the skills, without experience I won't fare much better finding work in that field either. I'd love to hear your suggestions and advice for a career change and starting over in the middle of my life (hopefully the middle, eh?)

Meanwhile, I've been quite the slacker at getting to the gym. While I'm quite chuffed (am I using that right?) about the 20 lbs or so that I've lost and kept off, I'd like to lose at least another 20. So, beginning tomorrow, I'm rededicating myself to getting to the gym every weekday and plan to update you all to keep me at my word.

We'll call tomorrow Day One, shall we? I'll weigh myself and take measurements and we'll follow along together until I get to the Jason Statham-like physique I'm hoping for (HA!). I mean, he's only four years younger than me, right?

   

2 animadversions:

I, Like The View said...

I need to get to the gym too

or lose some weight, somehow

and I need a job/career. . .


*thinks*

(this isn't about me right? great! that means I dn't have to do anything!!)

. . .you must be so pleased about losing the 20lbs!! well done!!

what did the career person say then?

Bit of credit for the accomplishments you've already made would be a good thing, yaknow.
