Is it a good thing

Is it a good thing when you dream about your work? Today is my day off and i woke up at my regular time ( 4:45am), i would get up for work thinking about things i could do at work. I even texted a couple of people and made a phone call. A couple of hours later i'm still thinking about work and what needs to get done there. Call me crazy, but i get like this at times with things, maybe over excited at times. I remember when i was a kid and i would spend hour and hours, even days sometimes, working on my toy models. The thing with me is if i see a challenge and i'm excited about it i want to keep on working on it.... I know how to explain it even better, it's just like reading a good book and not being able to put it down. You know you have to go to sleep at 2am but you just want to keep on reading and reading. Thank You J.K. Rowling

165lbs

165lbs, the heaviest I have ever been and unhealthiest. I start my diet tomorrow and I will start going to the gym three times a week. I use to be 145lbs a couple of years ago and I loved how I looked and felt. But recently I stopped going to the gym and didn’t watch what I was eating. I guess I stopped going to the gym because of work and ate whatever was quick and easiest to get.

I will start easy, running/walking 2 mile the first week, and doing some weight lifting. Second week I will run 2 miles, and maybe use the bicycle machine whatever it’s called. At the end of the month I’m hoping that I’m running 3 miles and feeling better. Should I take some pictures of a before and after?

FREE MOVIES

Okay this is just another cool idea. FREE MOVIES from the library, don't get me wrong they are not all that recent but at least they are good and free. I went to the library yesterday after posting some stuff the on blog and i checked out Along came Polly, Cinderella Man, and a PPS special The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo. Plus i also walked over there, saving me about $22.00.

Money Saving Tips

Freak, gas is way to expensive. I just spent about $50 for a full gas to tank. And I’m curious to know what are some of the ways you guys are saving money? I had one idea; I’m going to start by taking my lunch to work instead of spending $7.57 a day. Lets do the math here:

$7.57 x 5 = $37.85 a week.

$37.85 x 4 = $151.40 a month.

Ouch $151.40 and that’s just on Jimmy Jones month. I think I will also stop buying bottle water, and get my own water from my filter at home, and I drink lots of water. Lets do more math here:

$1.00 x 2 = $2.00 a day

$2.00 x 5 = $10.00 a week

$10.00 x 4 = $40. 00 a month

Keep in mind the $40.00 is without taxes, and Chicago just has passed a .5 cent per bottle tax. So at the end of the month I’m estimating to save $191.40. Alright people lets see how the money saving part goes. If you have any ideas or suggestions on more money saving tips let me know.
