As I mentioned yesterday the new year is bringing new opportunities my way.
Just before Holiday Vacations a head hunter contacted me concerning a job opportunity. I was very pleased with what the company has to offer as I would be doing 35hrs a week instead of 37.5 and that with a raise of 15K an annual bonus of 15%, 4 weeks vacation per year. An incredible pension plan and full health coverage.
I sent him my resume and had a phone interview with him first he then contacted the company and I was schedule for a phone interview with the HR person the same day. It went very well and the head hunter contacted me back 2 days later saying the HR and my new boss to be wanted to meet me for an in person interview. Since Holidays rolled around it was agreed that my interview would be on Jan. 3rd at 11 am.
Oh my god that is tomorrow and I'm really stressing about this. I guess everyone hates being interviewed. I spent the last couple of days preparing for this. Rehearsing what I would say to some key questions. What I'm stressing about is that they always seem to ask something that you are not prepared for and what happens!?! my brain freezes. I go blank and my throat squeezes. Come on hamster in my head make the stupid wheel turn and give me a decent answer....
Send all the good vibes my way as I'm really needing this new job!

Casein shake
rice cake w. almond butter.
Also had two Popsicle during the day.
I call this success for my food for yesterday as I resisted temptation of sugary stuff that is sitting around the house and especially no booze.... Yeah!!!!
Now on with today......
Me and BF spent the afternoon outside washing the cars inside out. Oh my god!!! how dirty they both were.
I think the sun got to my head as I was feeling dizzy after we got back inside or maybe it's because I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast. I felt exhausted so I had some food . Good food that is and plenty of water
No training other than car washing but it was plenty for today.
Food today is as follow.
Protein crepe with a banana
Quinoa salad/5 thin slice of ham/h-b egg
2 small beef brochette homemade (only 3 pcs of beef on each)/onion/mixed color pepper
Salad w. cherry tomatoes, avocados, sesame and ranch dressing
Casein shake
Rice cake w. almond butter
Another success for me today on the Dragon.

Life hazards and excuses
I've been gone for so long cause life has been in the way. I've let myself go and have fallen off the wagon pretty badly in the past few months. I could make all kind of excuses but in the end I have the power to decide about what I put in my mouth and if I exercise or not.
I moved into the new house back at the end of June. Still having so issues with the previous owner and the roof. I'm waiting for my experts report about the issues to be fixed and then will send my report and the previous owners report to my attorney. Yup we are at this point......
Our basement has been flooded and we still don't know when it will be rebuilt as we were not the only one flooded. I guess we have to wait till the guy has time to do it. Hopefully it will be before Christmas....grrrrr!!!
So this means I have no more training space in the basement. All that we could salvaged has been stuffed in the living room so no way I can train there.
So I'm feed up with the way I've been feeling and eating and it's time to regain control of my body and life. So food preparation is in progress today. I'll try and manage to get some training done during the week. Spin bike, jump rope or some form of plyo that doesn't require to much space. But mostly I want to eat clean so the bloating goes away...
Since it's labour day week end I've also taken last Friday and also this Tuesday off. Going back to work on Wednesday is only going to be at 9:30 as I'm starting school two nights a week again. This is my last session before I graduate...Yeah!!!! Then I'll be playing in the big league of University. I'll do that from home...
So far I've eaten:
Bagel with almond butter and a banana
Small bowl of quinoa salad with 4 thin slice of ham and a hard boiled egg.
Don't know yet about the rest of the day but it will be clean.
To new beginnings.

Day 2-3
Well this is not going to well so far!!!
Yesterday got no exercise and no cleaning done in the house. Me and BF left to go shopping for some stuff needed for the house and return some that we bought and is deffective....Grrr waited in line for a 1/2hrs before being served only to be given a piece of paper for reimbursment and then had to go wait in line at the cash register in order to be reimbursed as the stupid return place have a cash register but don't actually keep any money in it. I'm never buying anything from Canadian Tire again just because of this. So by the time we got out of there it was already pass lunch time like a quarter to two and starving. Got a call that the people to do the touch up on our new dinning room set were on their way to my place. Rush home and got a subway sub chicken teriyaki for lunch with some chips and a pepsi. Had a piece of leftover pepperoni pizza for supper and in total two bowls of maple sugar icecream and another pepsi. Holy cow!!! I'm doing this the wrong way.
Stress level is very high at the moment as we are having this real bad situation with our new house and the roofing that the previous owner had done. It was not done properly(meaning it needs to be done all over). Anyway no point for me to go into details and this is more exhausting than anything else and stressful to the max. Some funds are being held by our Notary as per the contract we signed with the previous owner and we are trying to get this resolved but I don't know where this will take us and hopefully not to court to get resolution.........
Today.
Protein pancake
nothing
nothing
frustration
beer
chicken burgers
pepsi
ice cream
Well another crapy day for me. I don't think I'll be any help to either me or you ladies on the thing going. I'll get back on track when I get back to work. To much on my plate lately to keep track of all and I feel like a failure these days......
All I seem to buy, do or try fails.
Me and BF might even have to hire and attorney to get the roofing issue resolved and money is starting to run out...

Day 1
Today swam for 20 min straight.
Food wise.
Protein pancake
1/2 turkey celery sandwich (reduced calory mayo)
sugar snap peas
Then all hell broke loose and I failed miserably at food. Damn vacation is hard to help stay on track...
Rest of the day went sour
3 beers
chips
Home made veggie pizza (way to much of it)
pepsi
Maple sugar ice cream
some more stupid chips and pepsi.
I feel so gross right now and not so proud of myself.
Tomorrow is another day and I hopefully I will burn tons of calories off as I have to clean up all the bedroom as the work that needed to be done in there is finished. And I also intend to wash the walls and ceiling in the living room and that will be some work as the higher side is 14 feet high...

Shopping time!!!
Hey friends,
The move is coming up very soon and I started to buy some nice stuff for the new house. You guys remember the nice chandelier I bought which gave me such a hard time. If not here's the picture of it.
But what is the point of having such a nice piece if you don't have a nice formal dinning room set to go with it. So off I was yesterday with BF shopping for one. We went to three different store before we found the right one. Yeah!!! we bought one which will be delivered directly in the new house. Here for you pictures whores. I love the detailing in this set so much and I'm very happy with our choice.
