March Updates

So I got my dress finally! So that's another big thing off the list. I'm so excited for it. I also got the opportunity to go shopping with Joanne (future Mother in law) to look at cakes and flowers. So the planning is coming along. We've also moved our wedding date to June to allow us more time to plan, and allow for other family members to come out.

As far as my job is going....
So I got promoted to the position of Community Liaison at El Paso County Child Support. I'm so excited for it. It's a lateral move, so I don't get more pay, but it's a position that will take me places and that will actually let me exercise my social work degree. Unfortunately, the company I'm working for doesn't have everything together, so I'm still not in the official position yet. I'm still a full time case manager, on top of part time community liaison. It's a lot of work. I'm hoping I will be rewarded in the end though. The rumor is I'll get to be in my actual new position in June. We'll see.

I'm also working on being successful as an Herbalife Independent Distributor. I'm a Personal Wellness Coach and want to help individuals achieve their weight-loss or fitness goals. I've become quite knowledgeable and interested in health and wellness, and I decided that becoming a Personal Wellness Coach through Herbalife was a perfect opportunity. Currently I'm hosting a weight loss challenge at work. I also held one last winter at work as well that was quite successful. I'm really enjoying this as side work. I'd like to expand and do more weight-loss challenges, so I'm working on that. Right now I have a blog up about health and nutrition where I can educate, inform and provide tips and tricks for individuals who are trying to achieve their fitness goals. You can check it out HERE. All of my posts are well researched and things I have personal experience with.

After being out of college for about 10 months, life is still not what I expected. It's really hard and frustrating. But I'm trying to keep my chin up, my thoughts positive and live life as best as I can.
