Mamavation Monday: Starting AGAIN

  It seems like almost weekly, I feel like I am starting over when it comes to my 'healthy living plan.' Some how some way, something gets in the way of me being able to  continue - and it's my fault. I would like to be able to  blame others, point the finger "you are why I'm overweight." But I can't. I allow other things to take priority over healthy eating, exercising, and just living well. I have a lot of people tell me "you have a lot on your plate - you work full-time, you have 3 kids, and (up until recently) your husband has been gone on the road, and everything is up to you."  But the problem with that excuse is I see Mom's with 6 kids, that work 2 jobs, and don't have a husband at all and yet they manage to keep their home organized, their meals healthy, and make time for themselves to work out. Even as I write this I notice something very important that the 'others' do that I do not. I don't "Make Time".  I sleep too late, I spend too much time watching T.V., … [Read more...]

Several Jobs Out There

We keep hearing about there being no jobs, but there are jobs, just jobs many people don't qualify for. If you are currently looking for a job, one of your best bets would be to contact a employment agency. These agencies are here to help those without work find jobs that  they can do. Whether is be office work or factory work. Sometimes it can take time for the agency to find something that would be a great fit for you. While these jobs are usually always temporary and have no promise that you will be working for a set period. If you go into the job and you show them what you are capable of doing, chances are your temp job may turn into a permanent job. Employers want workers who are going to pull their own weight, and not ones that have to be told what to do and do more wondering than working. I have found that if you are good to your boss your boss will be good to you. Sometimes though it does take time to find that perfect job, not everyone is cut out to do certain things. If … [Read more...]
