Boom Boom Pow

I am claiming it today! I will get in shape and I will be healthy. This is me at 143 lbs. I want to lose 13 more pounds and build some muscle!!! Lets get it =)

Updates!!!!!

Long time no hear!!!! Anyways August was a super busy month for me. I started a new job that is supposed to be part time, but I am putting in full time hours, school has started, I currently have a sick puppy and my fitness update.

First things first, fitness. I wish I could say that I have love more, but losing something is better than nothing right? I can't say that I have lost anything on the scale, but I have lost inches so I guess I am building muscle. With that said, I need to stop looking at the scale. When I don't see the numbers going down on the scale it is kind of discouraging. So I am just not going to do it. At least not every week.

Got my heart rate monitor. LOVE it!!! <3

The model number is FT4F. Got it on Amazon for a little less than $60

Next up, work. After three rounds of interviews, including a group interview, I got a part time job serving for a sports bar that recently opened two weeks ago. The first week was soooooo busy and I have so tired especially since school started this week. And I am doing so much moving around that I actually got a blister on my foot. Not cute. Its crazy because I never got any blisters when I was in the army wearing boots and now that I am out I get my first one!

School flow....so far so good! My classes aren't particularly hard this semester, but I did have to change up my education plans quite a bit. I wanted to major in biology, but because I am missing certain key classes that are prerequisites and I cannot take them concurrently, it would be a major set back if that is something I would want to pursue. The reason it would be a set back is because I already have so many units so I would be taking 1 class at a time for pretty much the next four semesters and I can't do that if I am going to use my GI Bill. The counselor wasn't saying I couldn't do it, but she suggested I consider something else that I could possibly be interested in so that I get a better value out of my benefits. Two of the options that wouldn't set me back were political science and psychology. I initially chose political science, but as soon as I was done I wished I chose psychology, I am definitely going to change to that. The only class I was short on for that major was psychology 1.

My sick puppy....so the last few week I have been having trouble in the potty training department with her. I know she is a puppy and there will be accidents, but the problem was she was walking and peeing at the same time like nothing was going on. When I take her outside she sniffs a bit and then goes, but sometimes she starts peeing like nothing happened...so crazy, and it was pissing me off so bad I can't even lie. So the day before yesterday I came home from work around midnight and I could tell something was wrong with her. I took her outside to go potty and it was like she was straining and taking longer than usual, but because it was dark I couldn't see that there was a problem. So yesterday morning when I took her out it was the same thing, but this time she is leaking blood. I was able to take her to the vet and $175 later she has been diagnosed with a UTI. I didn't know that dogs could get that, but I am glad that she is feeling better now because she was so miserable before I took her to the vet. And I am guessing that it explains why she was suffering from incontinence. Or at least I hoping. Anyways here is a pic, she needs a haircut I know...I was going to cut it that morning, but she was sick so now I have to wait till she is better next week and not peeing on herself anymore.

My sick puppy after our vet visit. She threw up after getting the shots that were meant to help her feel better.
