Please know this was initially written on Sept 12. New post coming soon,
I'm starting my blog over again. Mainly because I want to point it in a new direction. Also to keep myself anonymous. In the area of work I'm looking for, reputation is everything. If I say something about someone or an organisation, I don't want it to blow up in my face. It may seem like paranoia, but with Google allowing potential employers all relevant information at their finger-tips, it really is better to be safe than sorry.
A bit of a background about myself and what I'll be blogging about.
In 2010 I graduated from Uni with a degree in PR. Since then I've had a few temp jobs, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything in that area of work. It's difficult to spend 3 years studying something you love and then spend almost that amount of time looking for work. Since it's been so long, I decided to return to Uni doing a GradCert in Lit Studies. As I'm doing this part-time and online, I'm also still looking for PR work. If nothing eventuates, I'm applying to do a DipEd in Sec school next year.
I've also made the move from Melbourne to Brisbane to live with my parents again. There are many reasons for this... The main reason is to loose weight. I originally joined Weight Watchers in 2004 and lost about 15kgs getting down to 70.2 kgs. Since then I've gained 46 kgs and am unhappy about that. Of course I am, no one wants to be labelled 'obese'. But that's what I am.
In Melbourne I was a gym member but I didn't really lose much weight and I certainly didn't loose it at the rate I was hoping for. Mainly due to my eating habits and frequency of going to the gym. It was a 15 min drive from my house, without traffic. You can imagine what it was like during peak-hour!! I also have no self-control over the junk food that I eat. Especially when no one is policing me. I know it sounds juvenile, but I nee Mum around to stop me eating. My thoughts were that if no one knew about it, it didn't happen.
So Brisbane is me starting over in terms of work and lifestyle. I've joined a gym now and plan to got at least 5 times a week. I trialled 3 different local gyms and unfortunately for Mum's bank account the gym I liked the most was the most expensive. I will discuss gyms in another post. If I can find full-time employment that I thoroughly enjoy, I will be moving to Brisbane permanently.
My weekly weigh-ins are on Saturdays so I will be reporting on how much I've lost. I am accountable for what I do and who I am. Hopefully having followers will assist me with motivation.
Total weight loss: 2.4kgs
