Christmas Countdown Challenge (Closed) - Week #15

Hi Everyone!!! I should be on the road! Hope to be home by mid PM... I am going to try to exercise later but not sure there is time for that. I have Bunko tonight...which means food drink and late night! I am going to eat a big salad before I go so I wont be hungry and try to skip the drinks:drinker:

I am feeling calm so far but have been very nervous about tomorrow. I posted this at the end of a thread a few weeks ago. My son is in the Every 15 Minutes program tomorrow. Without rambling, hopefully :laugh: ...it is a drunk driving program where an accident is staged in front of the school he will be made up to be a dead in the car and he will be taken away with some others in the corinors van, we will not see him until the assembly on Friday AM. We will get a visit from the sheriff announcing his death then go to the court house to see the drunk driver be on trial!!! He along with 23 other classmates will learn what parents would have to go through if this was real as they visit a cemetary and learn what arrangements need to be made. They have no cell phones so they can't talk to friends or family. It is a GREAT program and sooooo INTENSE! I'm freakin...oh I had to right his obituary too:sad: They will announce his death along with the others every 15 mins and read their obit!!!!

I hope you all have a great day full of GOOD CHOICES!!

I was stuck for so long, I just dove head first into as many challenges as I could! I'm team captain for two of them as well! I love it! Today I drank over 120oz of water, did all of my challenges physical workouts, and did 90 minutes of turbokick. I am determined to lose 20lbs by Christmas!

I think I've actually been doing ok with the challenges this time around. So far I've gotten in a breakfast (or at least eaten before noon). I'm doing my jumping jack-front kick combo with 30 Day Shred, and that makes it go by really fast. Really hoping for a good weigh in this Friday. I got down to 15.4 and then bumped back up to 16.6 :frown: But I've also been bad and weighing myself to often (I try to stick to Fridays only).

I also wanted to update you all about the dog situation. I haven't seen the puppies since the one puppy died, but I've heard them. I think they are keeping them inside he house now, which makes me feel better at least. I also think that is helping the mother dog get more food because she is looking much better, still skinny, but looks like she's starting to thicken back up at least.

Hope everyone has a great week! :flowerforyou:

I'm having such a bad day and I need to vent, so I appologize now If this is long.

Jenn i can now relate to the job struggle you were having a few weeks back. As I've mentioned before I am a hairstylist an I work for a corporation which means I have a manager, a regional manager, district manager, and a superior . I've been with the company for a year and 4 months and have worked in two separate stores. I was at the first location for 7 months and wasn't making any money got frustrated and quit caring. Well that led to a write up or two and a transfer because I was a "problem employee" Ive been at my new location for about 8 1/2 months and I love it here!! Everyone gets along, I'm making enough money to survive, it's close to my fiancés job so we save gas I live everything about it. Well our corporation opened up a new store right by my house, I originally showed slight interest in it because they were looking for a manager. I call my regional and she informed me you had to have 5 years experience to qualify so I said never mind Se then informed me that u could work part time at both stores because they could use help at the new one I agreed but stated I did nit want to leave my location permanently, but would help with the new store. Well a month into this arrangemnt I'm told by manager that the regonal is transferring me full time to the new store and she said " I didn't have a choice in the matter". Well that really pissed me off and I told my manor I would be talking with her. Well she came and asked if I would be ready in two weeks and I told her no. She then preceded to tell me that I didn't have a choice and it didn't matter if I didn't like it because legally she could transfer me 20 miles without my permission and went on to threaten my job stating that I only had one write up left before termination and that if she didn't transfer me to the new store I could posssible be terminates before the new year. She talks to me like crap all the time and she never cares about what i want. She is on some big ol power trip and I'm not ok with being treated like crap. I want to report her actions, but I don't know how to go about it because we are a corporation and there are so many different departments . Sorry this is so long I just needed to get it off my chest all at once.
