so for a living i am in the food industry, and one of my jobs is to drive a food truck. now i know what you're thinking and no i dont drive the traditional "roach coach", i drive the ones that are wrapped and go to the food truckfests etc. this is a business that everyone thinks they can do and from experience they are wrong this is a business that you need to have another steady source of income as with the good days there are alot of slow days as well as unforeseen expenses like a broken generator, or your fridge stops working or just paying for basics like gas and propane.
and driving the truck takes some getting used to. my 1st driving lesson was at 1 a.m. after we catered a party. but after a few more times i learned the trick was to get out before you even drive and survey your surroundings and plan how you are going to get out or park your truck. now since i do that i am always amazing people with my driving skills i can parallel park her like nobodys business.
another tip is to staff your truck with thin people and preferably females. now dont get me wrong there are alot of men who work on trucks but from experience females not only communicate better, we are cleaner, faster, more logical and we can figure out how to solve problems real fast.
so if you are thinking of going into this field i would say talk to different people who own trucka and even work on one for awhile to even see if you want to do it.

I did it faster
I did my 2nd half marathon on the 7th.
now going into it i didn't train as much, ok i hardly trained at all running maybe once or twice most weeks and never longer than 4 miles. so i had some serious doubt as to weather or not i could do it. but i did fork out the $50 and already got the shirt so i was only half way to earning the right to wear the shirt. so Sunday morning i got up at 6 out the door 15 minutes later. my wave started at 7:35 well it took 7 minutes just to cross the start line. the big difference between this one and the one i did last year was i had a fuel belt on. i had 2 bottles with pineapple aide in it each half frozen and cliff bar and a yummy Justin's chocolate nut butter packet.
once i was there though the energy from everyone else and nerves helped fuel me to at least try and then once the marching bands drum team went by to pump us up it was on! then my competitive side came out, i purposely didnt look at what my time was last time i did the American river parkway run so i wouldnt try to kill myself to beat it my goal was really just to finish. and not only did i finish but i beat my time by 9 minutes 10 seconds AND to top it off i found out after the fact that the course was marked wrong and we ended up running 13.69 miles instead of 13.1nso i would have beaten my time by even more if i wanna do the math to figure my time at 13.1 but i dont because im not very good at math.
now my next run will be next weekend with my oldest niece we are doing a zombie run but this one we are gonna be the zombies and not a runner more fun this way. so excited.

WW
so i am sitting here waiting for my WW meeting to start. i weighted in and gained 2.2 pounds. i expected it, i actually expected to have gained more im happy to still be in the 160's. i rode my bike to drop pff my hubbys lunch and to the meeting. it was harder than it should have been not sure if its the bike or me. today i plan to make a big pot of soup for me to eat and just try to keep the activity up and the munchies down.
my ultimate goal is for me to be a milf. Ha yes some may say stupid but its what will make me feel good about myself because c'mon every woman wants to be desired i dont care what they say. and also for my hubbys buddys to also want me he deserves to have a hot wife.
im learning some new recipes here must remember 1 20oz can crushed pinneapple and angel food cake.
