Hi there, everyone. I'm happy to report another 3 pounds gone forever this week. Time for another clippie - I can't believe it's been three weeks in a row for new clippies for me! I doubt it will happen next week, though - 5 pounds in one week is a bit much, even for me.

I've made 80 pounds disappear, officially halfway to my (tentative) goal of 160 pounds gone! I can't believe it.

My No Foolin' challenge goal is in sight, only one pound to go. And onederland is just 17 pounds away.
That's the good news. The bad news is that I just found out that my job is not going to be converted from contract to permanent (for a variety of reasons, none of which have to do with me or my job performance), and I have a little more than 4 months to find a new job - which will almost certainly have to be outside my current company (long story). It's been a while since I've completed a successful job search (this was my first job out of college), and especially in today's economy, I'm a little freaked out. I'm really worried about how this will affect my eating and exercise - what if my new job has a long commute, and I can't find time to exercise? Argh.
At least I've got the 4 months, and my boss has given me as much time as I need during work hours to look for a new job. Small comforts, I guess. Just one day at a time... And hey, with 80 pounds gone, I'm bound to make a better first impression at interviews.
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a better day.
