Wanna Hear Something Crazy?

By Courtney 120 Comments

This post is a little all over the place, as you’ll see below, so bear with me!

A little dark chocolate for dessert after lunch today? Don’t mind if I dooooo.

IMG_9178

Last week, I received a lovely little package from Hershey’s, complete with their unsweetened cocoa powder, dark chocolate Bliss candies,

IMG_9176

and even a couple delicious sounding recipes. YUM.

IMG_9177

Hershey’s had reached out to share some fun info, so I thought I’d pass it along to all of you guys! We all hear about the benefits of dark chocolate, right? Well, here’s a little infographic which outlines just why it’s so nutritionally beneficial.

Potential Nutritional Benefits of Natural Cocoa & Dark Chocolate - Infographic
Potential Nutritional Benefits of Natural Cocoa & Dark Chocolate – Infographic

Disclaimer: I received product and information about the nutritional benefits of natural cocoa and dark chocolate from The Hershey Company.

As if I didn’t already need an excuse to eat chocolate. Winking smile

Don’t worry though…I did manage to have a little more than chocolate at lunch today.

Shortly before lunch though, around 11:00am, I started getting hungry so I headed to the kitchen for a snack. The first thing I happened to see when I opened the fridge was the mango peach salsa we have, so I grabbed that and some veggies. I know, it’s a weird combo – veggies with salsa – but it totally worked.

IMG_9175

The only thing that was difficult was the dippage situation. Winking smile

Around 1:00pm, I heated up a bowl of butternut squash soup, and added in a few cooked rotini spirals and two pieces of crumbled turkey bacon.

I cannot recommend the addition of the turkey bacon enough. Holy moly was that good!

*****

Soooo, you guys wanna hear something crazy? These past couple of weeks I’ve actually had quite a bit going on behind the scenes…

I’M GOING TO BE STARTING A NEW JOB!

You may remember that, a while back, I mentioned that I was looking for something – at least part time – to get me out of the house. I’ve been missing the human interaction and was just sort of feeling like I needed something else in my life. I’d searched casually around on the internet, but never really came across anything that sparked my interest.

Well about two weeks ago, on a Monday afternoon, Jay happened to come across a job posting online that he thought I might be interested in. I checked it over, thought it sounded pretty great, and decided to submit my resume, not really anticipating too much of anything.

Well, by that evening, I received a phone call…the next day I had a phone interview…two days later I had an in-person interview…and by late Friday afternoon, I received a phone call and was offered the job. To say it was unexpected would be an understatement!

I took that weekend to really sort through everything and make the right decision. I discussed a lot of things with Jay, and the two of us determined that it really is a phenomenal opportunity for me, so on that following Monday I called back and accepted the job.

In terms of the job itself, I probably won’t get into too many details; although I will say that it’s not health, fitness, or education related. From what I can tell, it sounds like it’s going to incorporate a lot of my strong skills, including somewhat of a planning aspect, which I’m super psyched about (planning my parents’ surprise 25th wedding anniversary party for 50 people? Looooved it.)

As excited as I am about starting this new job (which will involve some training days over the next two weeks and then starting fully after the first of the year) I’m also a bit nervous. For one, this new job is not part time, by any means; it’s a full time, 8-5 deal.

It’s going to be a big adjustment for me, and I’m going to really have to work on managing my time between the job, family, the blog, and my personal training clients. For the time being, I’m holding off on accepting any new training clients, since I don’t want to take on more than I can handle (don’t worry, those of you who are already in a plan are totally fine!). Once I’m a few months in, I’ll re-evaluate and see where everything stands.

Sooooo, needless to say, I’ve had a whole bunch of emotions happening these past couple of weeks, and I’ve been trying to get prepared (tomorrow will include a shopping day with mom, since NONE of my dress clothes/pants fit me anymore) but I really am excited to start training next week!

I still fully intend to blog, as I could never give this up, so hopefully you guys will all stick with me along the way to see how things go. Smile

You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better.” ― C. JoyBell C.

Working full time and blogging, keeping up with clients is a lot of work, but so many people do it, I'm sure you'll be just fine! Right now, I'm in grad school full-time, working 30 hrs/week as an engineer, and blogging. It's a lot, but when there's a will there's a way!

I also didn't know there was such a thing as blueberry juice until I read through the entire infographic.

    Congrats Courtney! I have to admit I was a little worried you were gonna say you were done with blogging and that would mean no more Cody, oh and you;) I wish you could tell us what your doing! Will you ever be able to?

    COURTNEY! CONGRATS! This is such good news! :) I TOTALLY know where you're coming from with the lack of human involvement, and wanting more. I just started a new job myself and 3 weeks in, I already feel SO much better. I'm so happy for you, yay!!

    Congrats on the new job!! It's definitely a big adjustment to start working full-time (I took on my first full-time job this past summer), but give it some time and you'll figure out a new routine that works well for you...wishing you the best with it all!

    Congratulations!! That's awesome and I'm sure that you will have no problemo balancing everything out. It's also inspiring to hear that you went for something not related to any of your fields. I feel like I'm in a similar situation to you right now; searching for something and missing being around and actually interacting with people, but not really looking for anything that I'm probably 'educated' in doing. You give me hope! Go get em lady!

    Congratulations, Courtney! So happy for you - change can be so exciting, albeit definitely nerve-wracking, though I have a feeling you'll fit in and it'll work out just fine :D

    Congrats Courtney! It will definitely be an adjustment - I've been in and out of full time/part time, but once you find your routine, you'll be fine! :) You'll be an awesome planner and will carry those skills over to your own personal plans to balance out your time. Looking forward to reading more about it!

    I think its great that you have a job again! I enjoy blogs so much more when the author has a job and life outside of just "healthy living" - it makes them so much more relatable. Best of luck in your new position.
