Ok this is actually funny to make a review of my year to see that there are some months that nothing great happens to me, and I guess that's fine, so I just will do a general resume.

I've been working hard the whole year both in my work and in my projects. I got pay rise twice and I earned decent money selling things from my store and with websites. Learning to value what I do is still hard but I'm working on that.

I went abroad for second time and I could afford it without get bills. I feel proud of myself for that, and because I was able to overcome all my fears and shames to try talking a language that I study by my own for 2 years and people could understand me.  I was so stupid letting my ex laugh about me and making me feel ashame for years because I didn't know English, what I could do if I studied French at school?  I wont let other person make me feel small anymore. 

I stopped wasting time playing Lineage and I starting to study programming languages. There is so much I need to learn yet but every single thing I learn put me closer to my goals. I wish I could have more time to study and to work on projects but I keep moving on to the right direction. 

I acquired a lot of good habits improving my eating and sleeping. I lost 15 pounds, I stopped my addiction to the caffeine and the most important thing.. I got ride of anxiety!!  After years and years suffering anxiety I just got ride of it. 

Although I did too much shopping this year I still saved money, I need to improve it for the next year spending less money on shopping or earning more money to can continue doing both: shopping and saving money 

About relationships, I feel closer to Martu than before and I can see how good she feels about that. I'm helping her to build her confidence and it's working. The rest of the people around me still so destructive as usual.

Yesterday after work it was raining heavily but it didn't stop me from shopping. In my defense I'll say that this was really necessary, since I did the diet none of all my pants fit me. I was so worry after I finish the diet with the side effects of eating normally again. Even though I don't eat the same things I used to eat, last 2 weeks I ate many times pizza, empanadas, cake, icecream and other junk food because the parties I had. 
I try to not get obssesed with my weight but last week I gained 2 pounds and that was not funny... plus I am not doing my workout routine, just doing bike.
Yesterday it was the lunch for work so we went all together to a restaurant which serve barbecue. It's been a long time since I ate this so I was not going to deprive myself of this delicious meat. I also had french fries (after 2 months without eating potatoes) and for dessert I chose tiramisu. I felt so fat after it but happy :) It was hard to continue working so we all were sleepy looking forward to go home.
I found a store which sell very nice and not cheap clothes, but the fabric are very good quality and the designs are modern and cool. I tried 3 different models of pants and I got one which fit me, it's perfect for me! 

I got very tired so I decided to watch series on Netflix. Someone from Michael's family decided to mess with my profile, I asked him if it was him and he said he was not, then he turned the profile back like I had it. I told him I could let the spot free if they need it and he said it was not necessary and he wanted I continue using it. Then we realized this person changed the profile again. I told him better I get my own account but he didn't want I pay another when he can give me it for free. He knows I don't need he pays anything for me and it is not like I can't pay 11usd monthly, but at this point he was yelling and bitching to his relative who was messing with us. Then I got kicked from the account and when I logged back, this person had delete my profile.  What a childish attitude!!! LOL I was not going to play that kids game with a person who never uses the account and who also could use any of the other profiles  to watch just 1 serie in a year without change anything. I don't understand how adult people don't feel ashame acting like a spoiled kid . The funny thing: it is Michael who pays the account, not his relative.  
Michael kept saying he wants I use it because it was mine, he made a new profile for me and started to add my series back but I deleted it and told him the account doesn't matter, his money I do not care at all, but he needs start facing his problems, stop trying to comfort everyone and setting bounds to other people or everybody will keeps using him and doing with him whatever they wants. He got mad because I didn't want to use it again and said I know he has issues, then he changed the password and said now nobody can use it.
I know he is hurted because he tries to be nice with everybody to get their approval but some people give a shit about him and if they can fuck him up they will do it. He also knows that, but so far he could not get a way to fix it. I don't blame him, at his age I had the same problem and it took me years to can deal with it. 
I can download the series for free from a website that a good boy from DW sent me last week (thanks marcelo), but I'm lazy as fuck to download utorrent then the episodes, and I like watching series on my tablet while I lay in the bed, so I'll get a Netflix account soon, but before do it I want take care of the courses I am doing. Today I passed the test of Digital Marketing course 

Going back to the diet topic, today when I woke up and I weight myself I was ready to get 2 more pounds. With all the flour and fat I ate last days I expected it happens, but how big was my surprise when I got on the scale and I saw my weight is lower than ever!!!  I'm 122.7 lbs, how it happend?????? 
"My name is Nat, I have the faster metabolism alive (?) "
Now I start to worry that I'm going to lose too much weight... will I need a diet to get fat? lol

I had a meeting with my boss and sales manager, I start to earn money from sales comissions now 
nattalie: (Default)
WOW.... today I weight 128.30 pounds!! This diet is so fucking good, loosing weight without feel hungry, sound like a dream  In 2 weeks I lost at least 8.8 pounds.
There is just 1 goal left for me: to burn some fat from my hips, that is all. 

Not long ago I said I was going to give myselft a nice body for my birthday, I setted my mind for it and guess what??? I am about to get it!!! It seems that finally I learned to use my mind for my benefit

I woke up and weight myself. I'm 129,4 pounds which is nice because after phase 2 I felt I was going to gain some weight. I had peach, blueberries and oatmeal for breakfast, then I dressed up and I did my makeup. 
Snacks today were celery with nuts butter. My boss saw me eating my snack and she made a comment about how healthy I am eathing, then I told her about my diet. She asked me to share it with her because her daughter can not eat flour so I mailed the diet to her lol.... everybody wanna try my diet!!  

Lunch was grilled chicken and salad with quinoa, tomato, avocado and bean sprouts. I also had peach and blueberries again. Day at work was kinda quiet so I used some time to finish a course about leadership and I did the test, I passed it   I joined a new course and probably next week I am going to a conference. I will improve all my skills as much as I can to be very professional on my work. 

I do not know what is wrong with me (ya there is always something wrong) althought I am drinking 2lt water every day, eating a lot of fruit and vegetables, my skin and nails are very dry! It makes not sense. I should see a doctor to get my thyroid checked, it is almost 2 years since they checked it last time. 

I had a poor dinner because I was not so hungry. It was smashed sweet potatos and pumpkin and a boiled egg. I ate while watching first episode of Stranger Things 2 then I did 30 minutes of bike.

Very long day. Weather was very hot, 78+ and sunny. I felt very down all day long. I really didn't want to work today, I'm very tired of the people there, the depressing place without natural light and bad smell, tired of all the stress and complaining and mostly tired of the mediocrity of the people I work with. Anyways I did my job. Sales manager keeps adding more task for me  and he still doesn't know how much I am doing.
I don't know how I have energy when I get home to do workout and to study many things. ...

Yesterday I got mad at myself because I could not figure out how to do an exercise of programming. The instructor always explain a new topic then he does some exercise to practise it. So I started to solve the exercises before watch him how he does it. I tried to solve this fucking exercise for 2 days then i gave up and watched the video with the solution... Well, in the video he explained more new things so it was going to be difficult I get it done before watch the video but still piss me off I was not smart enough to figure it by my own 

I feel good about my progress with workout. I can feel the results of my perseverance (and see some of them). My abs are getting strong and I lost 1 cm on my legs and waist. Body starts to look toned. Despite my tiredness I am doing workout 3 at week and stationary biking every day.

Today I looked what I got with the Amazon Prime Account to see if it worths to keep or it does not. I looked for the free ebooks that is the only I can use and added some tittles but to be honest there is nothing very interesting so mostly I added free programming books


The free  2 hours delivery or even 2 days doesn't work for me, all I buy I have to send to Michael's address then wait until fly to USA to get it so it doesn't matter how many days it takes to get the order. The free ebooks are not good titles and I can also download better free books on internet. 
The free music? well I listen music just time to time so it is meh for me. Audiobooks... I wanted that but it is not free, that service cost 15 usd monthly and they give you 1 credit every month... and probably the elegible tittles will suck like books titles so I won't pay for that service and prolly I won't keep the Prime service as well. So it seems that the only good reason to pay for the services is to get fast delivery if you live in USA.

Again I had bad sleep. Anyways I get up earlier than usual and I cooked pancakes for breakfast: with dulce de leche for Martu and with blueberries and strawberries for me. Of course I drank coffee. I really like pancakes but it is not something I could eat every morning






It was a busy and stressful day at work. The good news is that this month I got again a little pay rise. It is just $170 but it's good to see that my boss notices how much I am doing. 

After work I went to the greengrocery, again! and I bought 2 mangos, then I went to the butcher's and bought chicken. For dinner I grilled chicken and cooked potatoes in the microwave, healthy and delicious. Maybe I'll start to look for recipes to cook more healthy and tasty food.

Today I won't do bike or workout, I feel tired so I'm going to the bed to study before sleep.

I feel better. My neck and back hurt less than on Friday.
Yesterday I went to work and I asked to my boss for buying a new chair, she says I can go on Monday and choose one. We talk a little about how her trip was and about some changes she did trying to minimize a the damage that the fucker sellers are doing there. To be honest, I don't care right now what she will do to fix this. 

After work I came back home and Cleaned the house. Then I worked 3 hours on website, I ate a salad and I watch few episodes of Shooter on Netflix, then I fell asleep. I used a collar to rest my neck during the day, it helped.
Today I woke up at 1 p.m. and I finished my 3th course. It was about web programming  Probably I will start a C++ course next.  I had a shower and now I'm doing my beauty routine. 
nattalie: (Default)
 I finished my first course of web programming! It was a basic HTML and CSS course that I did to see if I'm able to understand courses on English. I had no problems with it I think because the teacher is latin, so he speaks clearly and not so fast as american people do.
Now I'm going to start the second course, still for beginners but it is about html, css, java, bootstrap, sass, node, mongo and another APIs, and react. It sounds like a lot of new things to learn and this teacher is american sooooo this means he speaks fast  I watched the introduction video and I understand almost everything. We will see if I can follow him. 

Today I did more useful things like designing a new newsletter for my client and I did bike for 1 hour. I feel soooo good with myself! Now it's time to go to bed.

They are the goals of today:
  • Waking up 6 a.m. for workout
  • Having a healthy breakdast
  • Taking care of how I look before leave home (ya I did girl things!!!) 
  • Drinking just 1 coffee and 2 liters of water
  • Studying English and web programming
  • Reading a book before sleep
  • Going to bed before midnight
Small things that makes my day great and motivate me for tomorrow

 I woke up at 6 a.m. to do workout!!! and it feels sooooo good! Seems I had more energy than at night although I didn't eat nothing before the exercises. It's cold today but after the first exercise I was sweating, something that hardly ever happens to me.
I took a shower then I had fruits, cereals, yogurth and toast for breakfast. I also had time to use make up before get ready for work
