edited December 2024 in Motivation and Support
im looking for some people that are willing to help motivate me and each other that are full time workers and are full time students...
(a little about me)
I am a manager for a fast-food place and although it is only fast-food, my job isnt easy... there is a lot of stress involved with it...
obviously that doesn’t mix to well with being a full time student as well... i just recently put college aside because i found taking multiple classes and subjects at the same time as working 40+ hour weeks was a little too much... especially on my weight, when i realized that i had gained 25 pounds in just 6 months....

on sept. 4th i will be going to a type of college once more... this time i will be going to a 10 week class for 4 days a week, for a MA(medical assisting) certificate and then again to a 4 week class also 4 days a week for a PT(phlebotomy technician) certificate... the last thing i want to be is an overweight medical personnel... as well as I am tired of being overweight and i need more energy, from which i can get from a good, balanced diet...

    I don't do school any more, but I do work full time and then some... And I live alone, so I manage the rest of life alone. Does that count? :)

    I work full-time. I'm not going to school anymore though. It's hard for me to make it to the gym though... I just can't bring myself to wake up at 4:30 to go to the gym before work :-\ ... it's kind of a long commute to work plus I have to drop off/pick up my son from school. so I have to go in the evenings which is annoying because my son is really cranky.
