Traceys Blog

Well, it’s been quite a while since my last post so I will be giving you an update on more than one thing. I have been really busy. 

I absolutely love my new job.  The people are great, the company is great. It’s just all great!!  I am on my 2nd month of probation and I am positive that I will be here to stay.  The way my manager and boss speak I am not going anywhere.  My 3 months probation will be completed on September 1st. YAY!!!!!

August second was my 8th month marker of not smoking. YAY again!!  My family smokes around me and there are some times when I think to myself I can’t believe that I use to do that and that I quit. There are also sometimes when I am doing stuff and I think oh it’s time for me to have a smoke. Then I think “what are you thinking” lol…and I just forget about it.  I can’t believe 4 more months and it will be a year already!

My weight loss thing hasen’t been quite as successful. I no that since I started my new job I have lost 6 lbs from eating differently.  I have lots of work to do.  I still have not started the walking at lunch.  The last week we broke records for the temperatures we hit so it wouldn’t have been a good time to start last week. I probably would have gotten heat stroke. I will start soon I hope. 

As for the diabetes, nothing new there.  I have a 3 month check up this week so if there is anything new to report I will.

Well this month was my first month of being a blogger and I would really like to thank everyone for the warm welcome and for all the drops.  Here my top droppers for February 2009:

Thanks again to everyone.   Hope to see you all again at the end of March and really hope to have some new ones up there

As you can see I added a new theme today.  I was not satisfied with the old one.  I wanted something new now that my blog has started.  My really good friend that is not so new to blogging helped me with all the fixes that need to be done to it.  As of right now not everything is complete.  Hopefully soon I will have some pics up too.  As soon as I am finished with the final touches to the site I  have lots of content to post .  Right now I just want to focus on fixing all the things on my blog so I don’t have to come back to everything later on.  So for now, thanks to all for the nice comments.

Since I have registered my blog on entrecard I have gotten a few comments welcoming me to the blog world and a lot of support for the no smoking. Thanks to all who have left the comments and making feel welcomed to the blogging world. It felt really nice when I received my first comment I have to tell my friend right away. His response was “see I told you you should have started this along time ago” lol…So here I am. Now doing drops everyday on entrecard getting a chance to see what everyone else out there is doing. It is all so interesting to see what everyone else out there has to say. Well that’s all for today, just wanted to say thanks to all. Have a great Sunday!!

As I mentioned yesterday I am very new to the blog world.  Just to bring things up to speed back in December I decided to quit smoking.  On February 2nd it was 2 months for me being a non smoker.  It was pretty hard for the first week or so.  The hardest part was trying to figure out what to do with all the spare time that I had from not smoking.  I wanted to find something that would make me not want to smoke or eat as my main concern about quitting smoking was gaining weight.  To this day I have gained about 10lbs which is not that bad.  As most of my good friends have said, at least I quit the most unhealthiest thing in my life, smoking.  Now I need to focus on loosing weight.  I also mentioned in a previous post that I want to start doing aqua fit classes.  I am still going to do that.  My first class was suppose to be on the Tuesday that just passed but I came down with the flu and I am still a bit sick with it.  So now my first class with be next Tuesday at 8 pm. These classes run 3 times a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  I will be going each day.  I figure I hate going to the gym and it is so expensive for sign up fees and monthly fees.  The aqua fit class it only $5 per class no sign up fees at all.  So that is a total of $60 per month which is pretty much the cost of a gym member ship.  The good thing is if I can’t make it to a class than I am not paying for nothing. I will let you know how the aqua fit classes work out once I have finally made it to my first class!!

Well it took a while but I finally registered a domain name today.  traceygodin.com.  So now I have to post all the time.  I will probably register my blog on entrecard in the next few days.  I am new to this so I will be getting my friend to help me with all the stuff that will be good to ad to my site like advertising.  I don’t know what category  I will be putting my site under on entrecard since this blog will be about everything and anything as you can see from previous posts.    So that’s all for today. Oh yeah, I have been smoke free for 2 months now!!! woo hoo.
