Day 155 - the end is near

The 160 day challenge has done a few things for me even though I have not hit my goals. It has made me more aware. It has held me accountable. It has taught me some new things. It has also turned me on to the fact that I can see my patterns right here. Meaning, I have had a chance to see what is holding me back and what makes me move forward. In times of struggle, I shine.
I was laid off of my somewhat new serving job, although after a conversation with the manager yesterday, it was more than lack of hours. The waitress staff were never very nice to me anyway. I don't know why, but they just never warmed up to me. It's weird to have the manager say I think your a great server, I'll write you a recommendation letter yet they would say your not a good fit. Go figure. In the end, we were slow. Very slow and someone else walked in with better availability.
I will try again for un-employment. I know how difficult it could be looking for work. I'm head'd for Berkeley for a serving job now.

Day 146 - back from the Chi

Chicago was a unique growing opportunity, in the sense that it was enough time to reflect on the choices I have made this past year. I feel more confident in the things I am doing and I am working towards my dream of a career in the entertainment industry. As the challenge is rounding third base, I have gained knowledge but not lost much weight. I plan to reinstate my goals and work a little bit at a time towards them.

Day 134 - Smaller Goals, Bigger results

10 pound weight loss goal by end of month. Pushing towards the end of the challenge and must accomplish something, I think!

Day 131 - Reluctance

One week to Chicago trip. Lots of exciting things in store for me and my band, and I have some fabulous prospects. I am becoming great at getting up earlier and balancing. Its a combination of determination and knowing when to lose sleep/catch up on it, kind of balance. Above is the next show, but more to come. I am doing a lot of foot work to plan and promote us, as well as secure us shows. I have three lined up, pending negotiations. I am very excited to have Crystal on board as promotions manager! Wow, that will relieve a lot of stress! She sees my guys for what they are, with their strengths and weaknesses. I think she can really help LV.
On another note,I have been drinking water like a fiend and noticing a slight weight loss due to it.
