An update

So February is over, well almost over.  Can't believe it.

I thought I'd post a little bit of an update on my live healthy goals for the year.

It's been 5 months since I've had a cigarette.  Yes it's hard at times, but other than a few days (vacation and one day at work) I have to say I rarely crave one.  I miss it more when I'm at home and Merinda goes out for one.  That was our time and I feel like I've lost that.

On the weight loss front it's been a LOT harder.  I'm going to Lifetime four times a week, and working out like a fiend, but the weight isn't coming off as fast as I hoped.  I missed my goal for February, but most of that was from vacation.  I shouldn't be disappointed, but I can't help it.  At least I ended out the month on a high note.  Overall I think I'm still on track to hit my goal.  We booked our cruise for next year so unless I want to be fat on the cruise I have no choice...

Well that's enough rambling for now.  It's late and my typing is worse than usual.

Oh and fuck the IRS.  Our refund is about 1/2 what I hoped for....

Sales people

You know, I've gotten used to push telemarketers calling me at home, it's just a fact when you have a home phone.  Even if you're on the donotcall list, you still get harassed.  The newest thing are charities asking if you want to donate.  Yes, I'm happy to donate old stuff, but let's be honest, I don't have clothing/household goods to donate weekly....  Anyway I digress

The new thing is the pushy sales people calling at work.  No means "No".  Don't make me be rude to you, if I say I'm not interested, I'm not interested.  Getting pushy will result in the opposite of what you want.  I promise.
