Salt Here!

Welcome to our First Blog!  My name is Salt and shortly, you'll be seeing a post from Pepper.  We hope you enjoy seeing the different perspectives and opinions from two women who are friends, work together, in our 30's, consider ourselves twins - yet have a mass array of differences as well.  We want to join you to comment and/or just invite you to share with us as we talk about different topics and we may even vent at times.

First, I want to tell you a little about my personality.  I am first and foremost, a Christian.  I believe God sent his son Jesus to die for my sins.  But I have lived as a carnal Christian this year.  Something I am not proud of.

I consider myself a workaholic and lazy at the same time (Is that possible?).    I am insecure about my weight, my looks and my friends.  I think I am either suffering from ADD or Altzheimers, or both.  No, I am not a hypochondriac.

One thing that I do love about myself though... okay two things... I am a very goofy person.  I love to make others laugh by just being dumb.  I even crack myself up. LOL  And I also love the fact that I realized my true gift:  photography. 

I want to say that I am GLAD 2011 is coming to an end.  Personally, I had to deal with a lot of stress, depression and anxiety dealing with my career, family and hobby.  I look forward to making some new resolutions for the 2012 year:
1.  Lose Weight/Exercise/Get Healthy
2.  Become More Organized
3.  Keep in Touch with Friends

So #3 doesn't sound so hard, does it?  But here's my problem.  Working in customer service for 9 years has made me hate talking on the phone.  I hate it.  I'd rather email/text any day.  Well, this year, I started working from home so I am by myself a lot.  I put myself in a position where I was waiting on my friends to talk to me and invite me places.  Instead, I was too lazy to take the initiative myself.  So I've noticed a lot of my close friend relationships have faded...  and I want them back. 

#2 will help me tremendously with the fact that I home school my daughter after work and then I edit photography.  Sometimes I don't give myself a break to make time for "family", clean the house as often as I should, or even sleep.  I have been putting my customers as #1 priority.  They are important, but I need to make sure that I am putting God 1st and Family 2nd and Myself 3rd.  I need more sleep!  A recent doctor's visit revealed that my lack of sleep is putting my body is stress mode, which is causing cortisol to settle and thus, I'm becoming more and more overweight. 

And finally #1, I need to lose, literally, like 55lbs to get back to pre-pregnancy weight.  Can I get some followers to help motivate me along the way? :) :)
