Well, I know that everyone has their own personal goals; but how many actually go through with them to achieve them?
I have long term goals, like getting my own house and starting a family. But, I have one big goal that is what I consider short term and I am doing what I can to achieve it. Weightloss, this is my goal. I am the biggest I have ever been and want to get down to a certain size. I started my diet at the begining of Feb and as of today, I have lost 25 pounds so far. I feel that I could have lost a lot more than that so far, but I was sick for a few weeks and just didn't feel like working out or limiting what I ate.
I am back doing my diet and hope that I can get back on track. I would like to hit my goal before the holidays come around. I think I might have gave myself to much time to reach it, but am going to push to get to the goal sooner.
I have a few reasons as to why I want to loose weight. First, I have never been this size and am upset with myself for letting it get like this, there is nobody to blame but myself. Second, self confidence. I don't have near the confidence that I used to, and I hope that getting into better shape and feeling better about myself would give me that confidence back.
I will keep this one updated. I do not weigh each week as to keep from knowing where I am. I only get on the scale once a month, so whenever I do that, I will update where I am at.
As of now: starting weight 267, current 242. Goal: 190

Work
Well, first I want to say this. I am more than thankful that I have a job, especially right now in these tough economical times. But at the same time, I don't really care for my job and would love to find something better (if the grass really is greener on the other side lol). I am a manager, working a lot of hrs. each week and not getting paid near enough for what I do.
Now, I love the actual job I do. It is very interesting and never doing to same thing everyday, there is always something that is different each day. I am really good with numbers and that helps out, because I handle a lot of invoices daily and inventory on a daily basis. If the pay was better, then I probably wouldn't feel the way I do about it. But, knowing that this positition is supposed to pay better has one thing to do with it. Another thing, I have a guy that basically works for me, and he has been with the company for a very long time and is a really good employee. I could not do the things I do without him. He makes more than me, and no matter how long he has been there, I believe that someone in a supervisor position over an employee should make a little more atleast than the people they supervise. It just seems like the whole respect/who's in charge factor would not always be there, I mean honestly; who would really respect and take priority to a supervisors orders when they know they make more than the supervisor?
I am not going to say how much I make, but I was hourly before getting this position a few months ago, and when I got this postition I was put in a bad spot. First, I didn't really have a choice to take it, was told either I had to take the position or I was going to be let go. I took the job, it is a really great opportunity for the future. Then, was told I probably would not be getting a raise. The manager there got me one, but not much of anything really, as in hardly a difference from my pay as hourly. Also, I go from working 40 hours a week to working around 50-55 hours a week.
With the hours I work, I am always tired. I put in long days and then have to work some Saturdays. When I am off work, I usually just stay home all the time, cuz I don't feel like doing anything.
It is getting to the point that the job just isn't worth it anymore, and I hate that it is getting to the point. I am trying to holdon and wait out the times right now hoping that there is a bright side to it, but it is getting to the point that I can't hold on. I have updated my resume and posted on a few sites. Who knows, I might get some kind of good job offer on there, or something better might come up at work. But now, I have to gotten to the point that I am starting to look for better things. Well that is it for now, I will update this subject as things come out on it.

Intro
Well, I created this to start writing down my feelings. A good friend of mine does a lot of blogging and it actually helps him out, so I thought I would do this. I just want a place to put things down either it be my feelings, mood or just something that happens and I felt to put it down.
Now, on to a little more about me. My name is Justen Chism. I am 25 and live in West Memphis, AR. I know most that will read this already know that. But, for the ones that stumble across this and do not know me, now you do.
