Well, I did it. I called PB and told him that I really appreciate the offer, and I would love the opportunity to work with him, but I simply cannot do so for the amount that he is offering. He asked me what I wanted, and I told him. He seemed shocked. He said, "That much? Are you factoring in commission? Because commission will be another big chunk on top of that!" And I said, "Yes, that's before commission." Then he seemed a little mad and hung up pretty quickly, letting me know that he would talk to the president about it and let me know on Tuesday, when he's back in the office.

That's fine. I really don't mind anymore whether I take it or not. I mean, afterall, it's my choice now whether I do it, and I will only do so if I am comfortable with the job as a whole. It's not like I'm desperate for work! I like being in this position of power!

On another note, I've decided that I'm going to start recording what I eat on my blog. Now, this might seem weird to some readers, but really, this blog is meant to be a personal space for venting and expressing myself. Of course I know that other people can read it, and I don't mind that, but nobody has to read it. That means that I can use this space as I please, and I will! I have been working really hard lately to get back into really good shape. I am doing well on my running program- the overall goal is to run 5k (or 3miles) after the 8 weeks finishes. Today, as part of week five, I ran 3.2k (2miles) and it was totally fine. I felt very proud! Anyway, as an added incentive to keep myself accountable to my BB07 goals, I'm going to record my food for each day.

This will help me because, 1) I never remember what I eat! I can eat a whole bar of chocolate and not even remember it later that day, when I will eat more and then wonder why I feel sick! Writing things down will help me stick to my goals. And, 2) if I know that other people can see what I've eaten (because I'm going to be completely honest), even though you are all total strangers, maybe that will help me be more careful about what I put into my body!

So, you may find small notes at the end of posts about my food intake, or you may find that somedays that is the only post. Either way, I hope no one minds! Please, feel free to keep me accountable or remind me of my goal if you notice that I've gone ballistic one day and totally blown it.
