I look at where you were and how far you've come and I just think, WOW! If she can be that committed, so can I. So thank you for that!

you're doing a really great job sticking to your points, even with the new schedule and being home with dan all the time. and of course, great job continuing to get in that exercise! this beautiful weather is a great excuse to get outside and walk! it's wonderful

hope your interview today goes extremely well. i'll be thinking about you and sending good thoughts your way . good luck sweetie, knock em dead

Congratulations on that pound going away!!

I hope the interview went well! I'll keep sending prayers and your way!

You're really doing a great job incorporating healthy eating and exercise into your daily life, even though your daily life has been anything but routine lately! Good for you!

 

[honeymo78]

Thanks for your good vibes and pixie dust Sharon, Marcia and Doreen. I'm glad I can be an inspiration to you Sharon. All of your kind words about my progress really meant a lot to me today.

I think the interview went well. I really clicked with the interviewer and she said that personality was a large part of the hiring decision. It would be perfect for me right now too. It is only guaranteed work until May with the possibility of the summer and more. Plus I would be doing exactly what I want to do when I am in practice so this would be great work experience. I'll know one way or the other on Wednesday since they are trying to fill the position quickly. Whoever they hire would start next week. I'll keep you posted. Either way will be fine with me - if I get it that is great but if not, I wasn't really planning on getting a job right now so no big deal.

Thanks again ladies - hearing someone else say I'm doing a good job really brightened my day. TOM came 2 days early so I wasn't in such a great mood today but reading my journal really made me feel much better.

Stephanie,
I'm glad your interview went well. Good luck to you. Oh, and congrats on losing another pound. Have a great day!

Here's some sun for our grey Pennsylvania day, Steph! Also, here's a celebration bounce for that pound that has left the building! See ya, Pound! You're not welcome around Steph anymore!

Also, congrats on a positive interview experience. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you wait it out and see what happens on Wednesday. Either way it goes, you sound like you're in a good place with it, Steph.

Take good care of yourself.
Erin

I know what you mean, Steph. Sometimes you get kind of down on yourself, but then you come to your journal and there all sorts of support and kindness, and it just really makes your day. I really meant what I said yesterday, you are doing an AWESOME job!
I hope everything with the job works out for you. It sounds like a great opportunity for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Have a good day today. keep thinking thoughts!
TTFN-
Sharon

[honeymo78]

Thanks again everyone for all your support. While my outlook is better today I'm physically feeling yucky. Have I told you how much I hate cramps. I also have several blisters on my feet from wearing dress shoes yesterday so I might not get in a walk today. I know, perfect excuse to do pilates.

Lunch - pasta w/sauce 4pts, deli ham 1pt
Snack - hard candy 1pt
Dinner - soup 4pts, deli ham and cheese 6pts
Snack - pretzels and pb 5pts, ice cream sandwich 2pts

Total - 27pts, 1 AP used
Exercise - 20min walk

 

[marsh0013]

aw man, steph, i'm sorry you've got nasty cramps. that just plain stinks. and blisters too, no fun. that's why i hate wearing dress shoes! they're just not as comfy as a nice pair of sneakers . pilates sounds like a good solution though

hope you have a good day and those cramps go away!

 

[DoeWDW]

I just restarted my Pilates, mainly because of a blister! It really works my lower abs which is where I need the work! I see you walked in spite of your blister! Those dress shoes can be tough! The only comfortable dress shoes I have are Hush Puppies pumps! They were worth every dime!

I'm crossing my fingers for you to hear good news about your job possibility today!! It sounds so perfect for your career goals and you seem so positive about the interview.

Hope your tootsies AND your cramps are better today!

 

[honeymo78]

Well I was hoping to have a message waiting for me after a 7 hr shift at the mall but nothing. I'm hoping I'll hear something about the job tomorrow morning. Even if I didn't get it I would just like to know, especially since they said they were making a quick decision. Oh well, what's another day to wait.

Breakfast - yogurt 2pts
Lunch - chef salad 5pts, roll w/butter 4pts, choc covered banana 4pts
Snack - black jelly beans 2pts
Dinner - veggie pizza 6pts
Snack - brownie 2pts

Total - 25pts
Exercise - upper body weights

 

[sharoncity]

Hey Steph, 7 hours on your feet is nothing to sneeze at! I don't blame you if you skip the exercise for today!
I hope you hear something tomorrow about the job. It is definitely the not knowing that will drive you crazy! I'm still sending you positive for it!!!
Looks like your food today was pretty good. I hope you are feeling better. Take it easy tonight and put your feet up!
TTFN-
Sharon

 

[DoeWDW]

Steph, I'm still keeping you in my prayers. Hope all works out for the best with the job.

 

[honeymo78]

Thanks Sharon, Doreen, Marcia, Judy and Erin for all the well wishes on the job interview. I'm still waiting - I'll probably give them a call today or tomorrow morning and see what's up. I won't have time to stop by journals much today but tomorrow I should be able to catch up.

Okay, I finally came up with some goals for March
1) Take my vitamins - I'm really bad at this one
2) Drink at leat 4 mugs of water
3) Exercise - walk 1 mile 3 times a week, pilates once a week, weights twice a week
4) Stay within points of course

So far I have been good with all of them except for doing pilates but I still have 3 days to get that in.

Breakfast - banana 2pts

Okay I definitely didn't stick with my points goal today and I didn't exercise. I kinda just kept grazing but I don't think I ate over my remaining flex points so I didn't ruin it for the week.

 

[sharoncity]

arrgghhh - the waiting is the WORST, huh? If they don't MEAN they're gonna call, why do they say that? Almost like dating, huh?? Oh well, it will be whatever it is meant to be!

Nice goals for the month Steph! You keep your eye on the weight loss, but still found ways to improve your health, i.e. daily vitamins. Good job!
Keep up the good work with the exercise! Hope your day was a good one!!
TTFN-
Sharon

Steph, I like your goals for March! We'll just keep on walking this healthy living walk, girlfriend, day by day.

 

[lulu201]

Just came by to say hi, Steph. Your goals are looking good--it's important to take good care of yourself!

Enjoy your weekend,
