I did 45 on the treadmill, 10 on the elliptical and 5 on the bike…
AND I am going to go for a walk later with my husband (hopefully) to try and get 30 more mins of walking in.
Was able to run a lot of the time on the treadmill…getting faster too…but for some reason, my feet were hurting…still are!On the elliptical too. Maybe it was working all day today…or just that I am still very overweight!
Just wish I could lose 50 pounds quickly so exercising wouldn’t be so hard on my feet!
Worked from 9-6 today…it was ok. I think the honeymoon is over…
There is one lady that I work with that talks about the director all the time. Actually, everyone does. Found out today he has Parkinsons…and so he is on medication…and it makes him space out, even fall asleep during meetings.
He is a very accomplished man, but close to retiring. This woman wants his job…and our boss, (who also talks about this man all the time) thinks this woman can do it…
BUT…in my spirit…it bothers me. I don’t trust someone that talks about someone behind their back…especially if they want their job. It just makes me very uneasy! I want to avoid this woman…but she is in the Cultural Art Center, the very place that I’d like to work.
I just don’t feel safe around her…like anything I say will be repeated…or used against me! Y’know what i mean?
Been dreaming about my own business today. I love photography, and I have done portrait photography. Plus I am a portrait artist (that is one of my portaits). Thinking I’d love to have my own studio. Someplace to be creative…and grow a clientelle. I have a way with people and an eye for it. When I did it before, people would request me, and I had one of the highest averages for sales.
Used to dream about my own school of the arts. I finally did do that, but it was nothing like what I invisioned. I had to travel from location to location…and carry my supplies in and out. I wanted a place to have classes…with a theatre and stuff.
Maybe one day! Still dreamin’: )

I agree about people who talk about someone else like that… especially considering the circumstances… his health and her desire to assume his job. Not cool.
I love your photos. Do you do film and digital? I think you should just go out on a limb and make it happen. Otherwise you might always wonder “what if?”
I agree with Don…and you’ve for sure got the gift. Do you feel God saying wait for any reason? If not are there steps you can take to head that way into it??? You are gifted sweet Chrisie!
Someone very dear to me at BS once said “Fly Away With Me” which I took to mean that we shared the same spirituality and our flghts were destined for the same place, for the same purpose, Him. Spirit frees your dreams and faith grants them to you. I say you go for it! Luv Ya! believe in you sista! Linda
Hi Chrise - go and have a go at your dreams! I dont know where to start with mines.. thankyou for your comments, its given me a push to keep my faith, hold hope that I will get out of the hole I’ve dug myself in by trying , never giving up!. Thanks again.
You keep dreaming!! You can do it! Good job on the workouts, your feet will get used to it, although sometimes my feet still ache. You DO have a way with people for sure. And you are a good motivator and organizer.
I would say be cordial to this lady but take everything she says with a grain of salt, and don’t be too open with her. Love ya! Kama
Keep dreaming Chrisie and be prepared for God to show you how to make that dream a reality. Opportunity will knock so be ready. -Dee
God will lead, you must follow. i, too, have dreams. you can do this buddy. i’m so proud of you for your workout. way to go. as far as your feet, have you tried some inserts in your shoes? get the thickest ones for your heel and arch. sounds like you need some cushion support. we see a lot of people who are trying to lose weight with foot problems. let me know how it goes and don’t forget to stretch those feet out–grab your toes or put a towel around the top part of your foot and push your heel down–kinda like you’re trying to stretch out your calf muscle. oh, and by the way, your artwork is absolutely beautiful. i’ll have to show you some of my 14 year old daughter’s. she sketches. you have a real talent.
You guys are the best…I feel so encouraged by your comments! Thank you!!!!!
I did want to comment also if I could about the people who gossip issue. I have found that an effective way to discourage a gossip is by not listening to them. The way I do this to look away when they are speaking and if I am asked a question, I then say “Oh! what did you say, I’m sorry I wasn’t listening to you”. Then soon they get tired of talking to themselves so they either change their tune or if you get really lucky they keep quiet.
