Started my new job today as a member service rep at a local health insurance company. I can see myself being very happy here. So far, mostly everyone has been really great about answering questions and explaining things. Having a job like this makes me feel like a real grown up, lol. I mean, at 26 I should really be settled in somewhere, but I've always just have gotten factory work or waitress and cashiering jobs. Not to say that those aren't perfected respectable jobs, despite the amount of people who disrespect the people working. I just am never happy in those positions, and I know I accomplish more. It's silly, I know, but I feel more responsible in this kind of position.
I also got up at 5 this morning and went for a 30 min walk. I intended for it to be an hour, but I got a late start, unfortunately. Tomorrow I will go out again, and over time, I'll extend the walking time/distance by going after work, as well. I need to build up energy before that though. I'm going to start beginner yoga, and one of my new co-workers was telling me about her roller derby team having tryouts soon. That peaked my interest.
I'm thinking that the few extra pounds is mostly water weight, but I'm have serious plans for healthy eating. After my first paycheck, the plan is to make a lot of crock pot recipes, since my husband and I now work the same hours. Or, at the very least, preparing meals beforehand, then just shoving them into the oven. I also am planning healthy snacks for work, to keep me from overeating as well as feeling that early afternoon lag. Cutting down on soda, though I did have one today, because I needed a kick, but I have been drinking a lot of water today, so that's great!
I feel absolutely happy, now. I got my motivation thanks to this job. It gives me a real sense of accomplishment. Wish me luck!
