Happy Tuesday!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I just wanted to stop in and say a quick "hello" to anyone who may/may not be following my blog! I hope everyone enjoyed the Superbowl weekend. I am very excited Green Bay won! Next year--COLTS! :)

Just wanted to update everyone who wants to know about my progress. I have now lost 9 lbs. I know it hasn't been a huge jump; but, I am focusing a lot on building muscle and I am sure the weight will continue to come off. My trainer said he can really see a difference in my body after 3 weeks, which is all I needed to hear so far. I feel good, I have energy and I'm working out like a crazy woman! Yesterday, I trained with him at 6:30 am, then went back for a Cardio Kickboxing class (AMAZING!) and finished up the night with a 45 minute spin class. WHEW! I slept well. :) My eat habits are getting under control. I haven't drank in a few weeks; I am completing following everything I need to. I want to lose these 50 lbs and want to be able to keep it off this time. 


Everything else is going really well. Tina came to visit about a week and a half ago which was so much fun. We got to check out some new places and kind of see the "night life" in Raleigh. It's nothing like Indianapolis; but, something I will start to grow into I'm sure. Doesn't help when you aren't drinking either... :)
My sister is super excited to move here. She is aiming for June once she is done with her B.S. degree at Hanover. We are going to be moving into a bigger apartment which I am dreading moving my stuff again; but, it will be worth it for her to be here! :) Hopefully Tina will be joining us soon as well, so it will be a big party.
My mom is trying to visit in Feb. which will be so much fun. I can show her around town.


Chip is doing really well. He found an "unleash" park off of Millbrook Rd and has gone the last 2 Sundays to meet other dogs and play. He is still my little demon; but, is growing up fast. He will be 4 on May 13th. Time flys! Haha, he is like my little child. It is too cute.


Work is going well. We hired another Admissions Representative to join our team. His name is Shane. He is from Ohio and will be moving his family here soon to start work. He is going through some training at our Indianapolis campus and then will come here. I am excited to show him the ropes and get started with changing people's lives. Our accreditation goes to the board on Feb. 11th and is looking good! 25 days until our first ad is featured on local TV here. Then, ball is rolling. I am visiting several High Schools in both North Carolina and South Carolina in the next few weeks to promote the school and speak to some of their Culinary classes. I am very ready to get the school started and be able to meet with the new, great, excited students we will have here.


I am coming home March 16th-21st and have a packed schedule; but, I am planning to visit as many people as possible during that time. Rachel and Alan are getting married that weekend and I am in the wedding. I am so, so, so excited for them and I can't wait to see little Kayden too! He is too cute. Hopefully I will be able to go out with the girls on Thursday like old times.


Well, that's all I got today! I thought this would be short; but, I'm Italian and go on and on :) :) No offense Mom, Aunt Nickey, etc.


Love you all! Will post again soon :)
