Wow it's been a while since I have time to write in this blog. I miss the escape and just being able to let back everything that I am feeling. A lot has changed in the past few weeks since I've updated this. Here we go...
The biggest change is probably physical at this point. I am down 23 pounds and I am feeling great. I am working out 5x a week and I am starting to see a noticeable difference in my clothes. I am really happy about that. I am starting to play more softball and I am even trying to run a half marathon in May! I know I can do it, I just hope my body knows I can do it!
I was promoted at my job. I am now the "Director of Public Relations and Marketing." Fancy right? Right. I even have business cards with my name on it that say that. I feel very privileged to be working for such a great company and really helping out veterans. I am receiving a lot of mail, phone calls, and facebook/twitter requests from different veterans thanking me for what I do. It feels really good to know that people appreciate you.
I'm thinking about having eye surgery. I wear contacts and I have been for the last 11 years. I think for the ease of not having to wake up every morning and immediately put them in, it would be worth the money. Plus the cost of contacts/glasses, solution, and all that other stuff would add up too. I have been given a good reference for a place and I have had a few friends get their eyes fixed there so I am going to look into it and see from there.
The weather is starting to be beautiful again. Not that I can complain b/c this winter was so tame compared to the blizzards and other things we normally have. I am happy about that. I have been on the ball field a few times and it's nice to be back and playing hard.
Was in Morristown this weekend. Had a great time at the St. Patrick's day parade. My friends Kait and Tom had a party and we just went to town. It was great to see them and just get out for a day. And what a day it was. But that is probably left best for the other blog...
I'll be back with more great updates when some fun things start happening...

Bring It All Back
So it's been a while since I've written on here. A lot has happened though that has caused me to neglect this for a while.
To start off. I got a job! Hooray! I am an internet marketing specialist for a company. I get to do all the social media marketing including facebook, twitter, google plus, windows live, etc. It's very interesting because I get to search the news, post articles for discussion, and really get to talk to people about different topics. Right now, I'm working on a Veterans campaign so I am really getting to know about what people went through during active duty and stuff like that. I really like this job because its perfect for me. The people I work with are really nice and we are a small company inside of a bigger one, so there is plenty of room for growth and advancement.
I have been keeping up with the getting in shape plan. I am down 16.5 pounds and am finally into the 180's. Thank god for that. I started at 203 and I am glad to be able to see it working. My clothes are fitting better, I am looking healthier, and I feel great! It's been a lot of hard work physically in the gym but mostly it's changing your diet and just eating better. I'm not claiming to eat great everyday, because face it, I don't. I am making better decisions though. Just little things to help cut the calories. My goal is to lose about another 15 or so and I should be okay. We will see though how I feel when I reach that goal. One step at a time.
Spring is coming and I am ready for softball. I joined a couple different leagues this year and hopefully I will have a great team and have a lot of fun! I'm so ready to get out there and run around and play. I need a stress reliever in my life and taking my anger out on the ball usually helps.
For my birthday, 7 friends and I went to go see David Guetta at the Borgata in Atlantic City. It was the greatest time I've ever had. I've seen him twice prior to that and this time was just over the top. We danced our faces off, drank like fish, and just went crazy We laughed so hard all night and just had one great weekend. I'm really thankful for everyone that came and really glad to have such great friends.
Other than that, life has been good and I have no complaints. I'll be back to write some more soon.

Money Can't Buy You Class
If there is one thing money can't buy you, it's class. New year and I am back! I know it's been a while but I've had to take on a lot lately. First of all, I got a job! Hooray. Nothing fancy. I am doing some serving and some public relations for the Melting Pot in Whippany. So if you come by, request me and let's chat! It's a good job and the people there are really nice. I really feel like I got in with a good company. It may not be exactly what I want to do but right now its paying the bills and I'm thankful to enjoy my job!
On a sadder note, my Aunt Doreen did pass away. She was amazing and I will miss her dearly. I had to give the eulogy at her funeral. This was one of the hardest things I've ever had to write, let along speak. When I was done though, I had managed to make everyone cry. I received a lot of praise and I was happy to do it. She was a great woman and I know she is up there with my grandpa and they are coloring, playing Uno and drinking some beers. At least she isn't suffering anymore.
I also heard Beyonce had her baby and named it Blue Ivy Carter. I don't know what's up with celebrities and their stupid baby names but this was tops the chart. Did they think that when she is old enough to get a job that people may not take her seriously because of her name? If I looked on a resume and saw that, I would tell the person they have stupid parents. Just like naming your kid Richard if your last name is Head or Brock with the middle name Lee and/or Brook with the middle name Lynn. Let's be honest here, no one takes that seriously and your kid will be made fun of for the rest of his or her life. Just saying.
If this whole hospital incident is true as well about Beyonce and Jay-Z, then I will have lost any respect for them. There wasn't that much to begin with but it will be completely gone. For those of you who don't know, apparently they paid the hospital 1.3 million dollars to block off the wing and have their own security there so they could have their baby. In the process though, other parents whose children were on the floor were not allowed to see them and apparently they were treated in a rude manner by the security and other people. If that were my kid, there would be no army that could stop me from seeing them. I'm sorry that's inconsiderate and pretty much your telling me my kid isn't as good as yours? At least mine will have a suitable name to live their life with and will learn what values and respect are. I am also annoyed at the hospital for accepting 1.3 million. That's it? That can't even run a hospital for a year. They are celebrities. If they donated 25 million, where some could go to research and help look for cures for pediatric diseases, then maybe it would be a different story. BUT you also have to accommodate the other parents and children who are on that floor. They have every right to be there along with Beyonce. They have more than enough money that they could have hired people to help her have the baby at her house if they were so "worried" and needed all the space and security. They just wanted to wave their money in everyone elses faces. Like I said, money can't buy you class. And in this case, Beyonce and Jay-Z, you put the "ass" in class.

Aunt Grace's Six Rules To Live By
For those of you who don't know me, I don't have an Aunt Grace. This women isn't my aunt. She isn't even someone I've ever met. But I read a story in which she gave six rules to live by and it was very comforting.
Let's take a quick step back. I'm reading this book called "Chicken Soup for the Single's Soul." I'm single. I've been single for a while. I'm okay with it. I have friends who can't live or survive without being a relationship. They jump from relationship to relationship with every Nicole, Sarah, and Brittany they can find. That's not me. I'm more about quality; not quantity. I don't just jump into a relationship with someone because frankly, I just don't want too. I would love to find someone who loves me and start a family and yadda yadda yadda but I am not dying to find someone.
I'm perfectly happy being single. I can do what I want with who I want and not have to worry about anyone else wondering what I'm doing or vise-versa. I am free to live my life. If I want to pick up and move to California tomorrow, there is no one here to stop me. Some people think that's sad; I think it's life. I am a free spirit. I always have been. I am willing to work at a relationship with someone I care about, but that's not my number one concern right now. My number one concern is me. I am working on becoming more healthier; mentally and physically. I am working out more, eating better, and reading more. My other concern lately is finding a job. After I succeed at these two, then I can work on the whole dating thing. But if someone comes along in the meantime, I'm not going to be upset either.
Anyway, back to Aunt Grace. Her six simple rules were this:
1.Do something for someone else.
2. Do something for yourself.
3. Do something I don't want to do that needs doing.
4. Do a physical exercise.
5. Do a mental exercise.
6. Do an original prayer that includes counting my blessings.
Those are pretty simple demands. I like doing things for other people. I like the positive response and the look of happiness on their face for actually taking time out of my day to think of them. I am starting to do more for myself. I'm the one I forget about most. I would go to the ends of the Earth to help someone I care about; but I'm the last person to do something for me. I have a few ideas about some things that need to get done and I am working on it. Physical exercise = done. 5 mile run today. I work out now like 4-6 times a week. Mental exercise, I'm reading more. I'm planning on going back to school for my Master's or my MBA or something of that sort so got that covered as well. Plus, I like to write. That seems to be something that calms my nerves and helps me to focus. Do an original prayer that includes counting my blessings? This is gonna be "hell on wheels." I'm not religious by any means. Me yelling "Jesus Christ" is the closest thing you will find to prayer. I can though, sit around and clear my mind and be thankful for the things that I do have in life. I could take some time out of my day and be thankful. If I have time to read about which celebrity couple is getting divorced now, I can stop for a minute and be thankful for the things, family, friends, and accomplishments I have.
Christmas is coming. So now might be the perfect time to start focusing on things that I am thankful for. And this is also the time of year for giving. I have some ideas about what I can do to help out. Every little bit counts. I haven't volunteered my time in a while and that is something I used to do all the time. I could really get back into doing that again; even if it just a part-time basis.
I was talking with my dad's girlfriend Mel last night and she gave me some great information about going back to school. I found out that I might be able to get to go for not as much as I thought it would cost me due to unemployment. Apparently, they like when you do things to better yourself. I'm okay with that. Maybe I can be professionally unemployed for the rest of my life. Just kidding. I'd get bored of that eventually. I do though wanna go back to school. I like learning. I'm good at learning. And having a higher degree can never hurt. Nothing is set in stone though. I need to see what unemployment says first because I don't have the money to drop another six figures to go back to school. One day at a time. That's all I can ask for.
I'll let you all know how these rules turn out over the next week or so and if I find they are actually making a difference.

Coloring Books & Crayons
Negative 3. Seriously? Week two, the "dreaded" week two of workout/diet week and I lose another 3 pounds? I am the happiest kid right now. And the fact that I am able to do this during the holiday season is making me even more thankful.
The weather needs to start getting colder or else I am a non-believer that Christmas is actually coming. It's been like 55-60 since Thanksgiving. Very strange weather we are having. I guess that is global warming at it's finest.
I'm excited because I am going out for the first time tonight in a long time. I have been so focused on getting in shape and looking for a job that I forgot what it was like to have a social life. So for tonight, I am putting everything behind me and going to Hoboken with some of my softball team. It is going to get rowdy tonight, I can just feel it.
I wish the job hunt was going as well as the weight loss but I guess I need to fight one battle at a time. Accept small victories and move on. I am at least getting hits on my resume so I know the right job will come along soon. I am thankful for that. There is a job waiting for me, I just need to find it.
On a more emotional note, keep my Aunt Doreen in your prayers. She is in the hospital and isn't doing well. She is an amazing woman who has overcome so much. She has a mental disability but she has never let that stop her. I am actually kind of jealous of how strong of a person and fighter she really is. She is someone I look up to dearly and I wish her nothing but the best in this fight. I keep thinking about the good times I had with her. When I was a little kid, I would color with her. She loved to color. Coloring books and crayons made her the happiest. She would always sit outside my Grandma's house on the front porch and color, for hours. She was always so excited to show you what she got for Christmas. I always bought her coloring books and to see the look on her face when she saw them was just priceless. She loved the company you gave her. Anyone who would sit outside and color with her would be lucky to spend the time with her that I was able too.
She got to do more in her life then most people I know. Since I can remember, she was always going on field trips and going to activities with her friends. She was part of so many groups and clubs, that she never have down time it seemed. She went Camp Hope a lot, which was in the same town I grew up in. She would always tell me about her fun adventures whether it was bowling, coloring, or just going out with her friends. She's one amazing human being and I love her with all my heart.

A Negative Isn't Always A Bad Thing
Negative 4.
That's what I saw today when I got on the scale. I lost four pounds in one week. That is unheard of. What does this mean? Maybe I finally have a grip on this whole losing weight thing. Or maybe, something just clicked this week and allowed me to mentally and physically earn those four pounds. I'm doing it the right way this time and so hopefully, I can keep this weight off. I am making sure to eat better, exercise, and just make smarter decisions. I know that I can't give up everything I love, that would be a false statement to make. But in moderation, I can still live a healthier life style and enjoy myself.
All together, since college, I've lost 30 lbs. I've got about twenty more to go and I will be set. My problem in college is that I gained so much weight my senior year because of drinking all the time, eating fast food, and not exercising. That is a look I never want to see again. I look at old pictures and it disgusts me to know I even let myself get like that.
I am more realistic now then I was back then. I know that I am not going to lose four pounds a week every week. Number one, that would kill me physically and number two, that isn't even healthy. Everywhere I read said 1-2 pounds a week is the max you should lose so your body doesn't go into shock/starvation mode. I am also lifting weights, and muscle weighs more than fat, so I also know that there may be some weeks where i don't lose anything or even gain. But as long as my clothes fit better and I am looking physically better, I could really care less what the scale says. The scale doesn't define me.
I also know that it is easy to fall off the horse on dieting. Lucky for me though, I have a couple friends who are also working on making themselves healthier. I know that I can turn to them when I am having a rough week or when I am feeling down about this transformation and they will be there for me. When I say, I am working on making myself healthier over dieting, it just sounds better. In reality, I rather be healthy than skinny.
Time to get myself in gear. Have a good weekend.

Embracing The Week
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Hope everyone had their fair share of turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, ham, biscuits, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, etc etc. I know I had my fair share of ham and stuffing! My two favorite items on the menu. Hopefully none of you became too intoxicated today.
It has been a good day. I was able to see a lot of my family and just relax today. I watched my Dallas Cowboys beat the Miami Dolphins with a field goal by Bailey with three seconds left on the clock to give Dallas a 20-19 win. That score was too close for comfort. I was expecting Dallas to lose. They didn't play to their potential and in cases they like, they almost deserve to lose.
My Nittany Lions of Penn State beat the Buckeyes of Ohio State @ Ohio State. That is a great feeling! I made sure to pick at my cousin because he loves his OSU and I love my PSU.
My younger cousin Kellyann got married on Saturday. Congrats to Kellyann and her husband Jorge! Love you guys. It was such a great wedding. My date was amazing, Ms. Gen. We had a great time and had lots of food and drinks. We danced our faces off and Gen even showed some of the women a new dance move that they took too very well. Love the chipmunk!
The job hunt is going....sort of. I have applied for over a hundred job in the last few days. Hopefully something will break soon and someone will call me. I understand its fourth quarter so I may not hear anything til after the new year. I'm hoping before that though because I am starting to go stir crazy without a job. I have faith though that I am going to find the perfect job for me and I will be ready to work my butt off once I get it.
Speaking of working my butt off, I have been exercising like a crazy man. I haven't lost any weight but I am shifting it. I am doing a lot more weight lifting then I have done in the past and hopefully this time, I will keep it all off once it's gone. My clothes are starting to fit better so I know I'm doing something correct. One day at a time is what I keep telling myself. Rome wasn't built in a day. This kind of stuff takes time and I have been celebrating small victories to help me get to the day where I will be happy with how I look physically.
I'm in high spirits lately. Let's hope this lasts and it's not just because Christmas is coming. Haha.
Enough for now...have a good night everyone and hope you all enjoyed your Turkey Day.
It has been a good day. I was able to see a lot of my family and just relax today. I watched my Dallas Cowboys beat the Miami Dolphins with a field goal by Bailey with three seconds left on the clock to give Dallas a 20-19 win. That score was too close for comfort. I was expecting Dallas to lose. They didn't play to their potential and in cases they like, they almost deserve to lose.
My Nittany Lions of Penn State beat the Buckeyes of Ohio State @ Ohio State. That is a great feeling! I made sure to pick at my cousin because he loves his OSU and I love my PSU.
My younger cousin Kellyann got married on Saturday. Congrats to Kellyann and her husband Jorge! Love you guys. It was such a great wedding. My date was amazing, Ms. Gen. We had a great time and had lots of food and drinks. We danced our faces off and Gen even showed some of the women a new dance move that they took too very well. Love the chipmunk!
The job hunt is going....sort of. I have applied for over a hundred job in the last few days. Hopefully something will break soon and someone will call me. I understand its fourth quarter so I may not hear anything til after the new year. I'm hoping before that though because I am starting to go stir crazy without a job. I have faith though that I am going to find the perfect job for me and I will be ready to work my butt off once I get it.
Speaking of working my butt off, I have been exercising like a crazy man. I haven't lost any weight but I am shifting it. I am doing a lot more weight lifting then I have done in the past and hopefully this time, I will keep it all off once it's gone.
