I have a friend, that back in May of this year moved from New Mexico, all the way to Japan. She had gotten her Master's Degree in social work, and couldn't find a job to save her life, or at least one that paid decent, used her education, and was close to home. For a while, she was driving an hour and a half each way to a small town to do social work/therapy at the hospital there, but not only was it such a small town that it was a "clicky" job, but the money just didn't pay for what she was spending in gas, and car repairs. So she decided to make a change and move to Japan to teach English for a year. In her journey of going there, she started a blog. Something to keep everyone updated on how she was, how we could keep in contact with her, etc. I really liked that idea of how I was always in the know of what she was up to besides the normal facebook.
So when I started the weight loss process and joined weight watchers, I started updating all my friends on facebook of my progress and weekly reports and tagged places at the gym. It worked. But everyone always had questions. How are you doing it, what are you eating, what kind of excercise are you doing, etc. Not that I minded answering the questions, but if someone asked the same question in a previous post I made, I felt like why am I waisting my time each week to continue to post the same things. (Yes, I am one of those people at work that if you ask me how to do something, I have no problem showing you how or telling you how to do it the first time, the second time I am a little irritated and then the third down right P.O.'d, because again, why am I waisting my time showing you if you can't either write the steps down, or remember them in the first place. Then I just end up getting in trouble because "I have no patience"....) So I decided to start a blog.
At first I didn't have WW online, so I started it on blogspot.com. I really like it a lot better there because you are given free reign and not limited to the number of characters, but I also like WW cause I can share with all of you! So I update both. My friends from FB all view on blogspot, and my WW community views here. It has really helped me sometimes with my emotions. Wether it be happy, sad, depressed, frustrated, elated, etc. I know I can always post something and get instant feedback. It's nice.
I hope everyone had a good and sucessful weekend. Heres to hoping I did. I weigh in tomorrow. If I lost, I am treating myself to Taco Bell. It's my favorite. I used to work there and I still love it. There isn't anything I don't like. That's one thing I miss, is being able to pig out there. But with little treats like that, it's better than nothing right?
