Can you change your life in just four months?

Please note:
Entries without a question are from here on out known as A Post A Day Every Day posts (a new name for NaBloPoMo cause McCashew and I hate it). I hope you enjoy it - cause well, I think it's going to suck.

Goal: To lose 25 pounds
Deadline: March 1, 2008 (a vacation with G!)
How will I get there:

• Using this blog to tell you each and every detail, or lack there of, of my journey (struggle)
• A new job will give me a new attitude, especially since it's for an athletic apparel company
• A shorter commute should guide me directly to the gym before or after work
• New eating habits, especially throughout the holidays (holidays include football games)
• iVillage.com - Walk On Rock On to a New You
• You people's love and support.

So I wont be telling you how much I weigh, cause welp, I can't bear to type it. But I am going to start with an absolute of ZERO (0) and go up or down - hopefully down, from there. I will let you know how it goes.

I've read that you can change a habit in 21 days ... so I'm hoping 30 will get me on track to that final goal.

Here I go .......

Why won't my google analytics work?!

McCashew HELP!

It is "waiting to collect data" .... but it has been more then 24 hours. I want my google analytics.

Plus I just received my first random comment ... Ryler32 - who are you? Your profile is private so I couldn't see your blog -- if you have one -- keep the comments coming people. I can write more about TV. I could do that for NaBloPoMo ...

Oh ....

Na
Blo
Po
Mo

you are the bain of my existence ....

McCashew gets to take pictures of the cutest baby on the planet every day - EASY PEASEY.

What do I do with you Nanny Bloomers Position Movements.

Help. anyone. What do you want to hear from a 24 year old? I've got nothin that sounds worth posting every day for 30 days about. Nothin.

What is on our DVR?

Ha. Wouldn't you like to know?

It's our secret world. I will go in order starting with Mondays ... so as not to show favoritism.

Monday:
How I Met Your Mother
Big Bang Theory
Heroes
Jon & Kate Plus 8
The Hills

Tuesday:
NO TV TUESDAY.
We've actually been pretty good about.
That's because there are no good shows on Tuesdays.
(Feel free to offer up suggestions as we need MORE things to watch)

Wednesday:
ANTM - America's Next Top Model
Gossip Girl
Real World
Pageant Place

Thursday:
Grey's
Big Shots (GREAT new show, watch it!)

Friday:
Friday Night Lights

Sat & Sun:
We've got nothing.

Let it be known that G will watch ALL of these things with me except Heroes and ANTM. And Heroes is even starting to get to me ... but you gotta love Tyra and those snarky models.

What're you watching?
What else SHOULD we be watching?

Where were you when the Red Sox won the World Series?!

The next question now has to be ... which one?!

YAAAAAAAAAY RED SOX!!!!!!!

So the answer ...

2004: I was at An Tua Nua - a bar in the Fenway area - watching with my best friends from high school Pam and Anna. It was my senior year in college and it was the best night ever. Anna flew home from her studies abroad in Spain. We watched the Sox win and celebrated by pouring beer all over each other. Hard earned beer. We then rushed down to Kenmore to join the crowds .... and quickly came face to face with some police in riot gear - and ran in the other direction! I think I was the only person getting on the B line train going OUT of the city rather then IN! But it was awesome and I will never forget it.

2007: A very different scene. Greg and I stayed in after a long and busy weekend. We watched the game together ... and as it got later and later we realized how "old" we are! We were struggling to stay awake, refusing to leave the living room and the couch for the bedroom because I knew I would fall asleep! Fianlly we watched the last half inning in the bedroom. Watched about 15 minutes of celebration, and passed out for the night! Does that mean we were any less excited then we were three years earlier -- I dont think so. Does that mean we are waaay lamer then we were - yes, definitely.

Any where and any way you watchted the game -- it was a GREAT game and a GREAT series.

GOOOOOOO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!

What do you think I should blog about?

So I joined that Nablopomo thingy. What do you think I should blog about for the month of November?

Or just what do you think I should blog about tomorrow?

Cause this is my blog for today. Ha. Cheap. I know.

What about Coach Jags?

"Hey what do you think of Coach Bags?" - coworker of Leigh's

"I think that he's a great coach. He's been doing a really good job keeping the players heads on straight and focused. He's been great for BC, but anyone is better then Tom O'Brien." - Leigh

"I said Coach bags, as in the leather bags, I am thinking of buying one for my girlfriend. But umm looks like you are really obsessed with this whole BC football thing." - coworker.

Umm yeah I think we've all gotten a little obsessed with BC football.

But I LOVE IT.

GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!

Did you hear the news?

I (finally!) got a new job!! I will be working for Reebok, located in Canton MA. My position is still in HR which I am excited about because I really don't think I needed to switch careers but rather switch companies. I will be part of a program called the Functional Trainee program - where I will do rotations in different functions of HR for 12-18 months, 3 or 4 months at a time, and at the end they will help me find a full time position within the company where I best fit. I am so excited!!! I will start on November 12th. My last day here will be Nov 6th. And I will take a few days off and go down to Virginia Tech to watch the Tech vs FSU game.

That brings me to my current connundrum. Greg and I will be breaking up this week. No worries. No gasps. It's only going to be for 24 hours. 10 hours before the game, 4 hours during, and 10 hours after. Therefore nothing we say during those 24 hours can or will be used against us in the court of our house. Haha. In all seriousness I think we've gone a little far with the competition this year. Please check out our pumpkins that we carved this weekend. As Sara stated earlier - it looks like BC is on FIRE!

Other things ... everything is really great right now. I'm really excited that now that I have found a job I can relax and settle in to doing some more fun things with my evenings rather then looking for silly jobs! I'm def up for reading some good books this winter so let me know what you all are reading.

Greg and I are doing great. He still loves his job but hates his commute now since they moved out of the city and into Burlington, MA (for those that dont know it's WAY north of the city and takes him about an hour and 20 min on a good day to get there! ew!!) So other then the BC vs Tech fiasco coming up on Thursday we've just been busy watching the Red Sox and Patriots and both Tech and BC all having really great seasons.

Oh and one last thing ... how cute is this baby?!?!
