Hello everyone and I hope all is well where ever you are. All of you buddies who have gotten bitten by the flu bug, or whatever bug may have been thrown your way, I do hope that you feel better soon and focus on getting well real soon! There has been so much sickness going around at work, we have been so shorthanded, but SO FAR I have not gotten hit yet. I know It will probably get me , but here’s to hoping it misses me.

Things here have been a little unnerving. The house hunting, drama with his kids, my kids, my mom (who lives in Fla.) just found out that in addition to all she has been thru, has stenosis of the spine. It all worries me. And recently it seems like my S/O does not seem to care, only if it involves his side. So, I figure why bother even talking about anything, just keep it to myself.

My new hours are supposed to begin March 6th. We shall see how that works out. The day shift is already talking about me, because I finally had enough of not getting my stuff done because I was doing their work before I could even start mine. So I finally went to my boss, with notes in hand and it all came out. She was very receptive, and as it worked out a few others had seen first hand what was going on, Boss lady was NOT happy at all. I am looking forward to changing shifts in a way because I will be able to train the new assistants the right way, to handle management tasks and all that goes along with being an assistant manager.

I weighed in on Saturday morning, I did not lose. It is ok, I guess, because I know I am staying on plan, and my clothes are getting looser. I was disappointed of course, but, I got thru and over it. Also I jumped on this sight and read some blogs which also helped me too!!! Darn Scales!!!!!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone.

I weighed in as I mentioned in my first blog this morning. I lost another 2 lbs! And when I got home, I went to my closet to grab something else to put on( I wear the same outfit every week to weigh in). Well, earlier in the week i cleaned out my closet and got rid of a lot of stuff. I saved one particular pair of jeans,I do not even know why I held on to them. I can wear them again! What a good feeling that is! I could not get them past my thighs before and now I can zip them up without any problem at all! I know I still have a long way to go, but I just thought I would share this little mile stone. It makes me want to do a happy dance or something, after everything that has been going on, with the house hunting, work, and other issues, something like this made me feel a little better. Weird huh?

I know you are probably tired of hearing me moan about this house buying process. for that I am sorry. It is the first time doing this for my S/O and me. It has taken over my head. And after being so up yesterday, my balloon was popped when my realtor called last night an told us that there was a problem with the contracts(on the other end…not ours) and one thing led to the next and now it is back to looking again. I am disappointed beyond words. My S/O is like….”it is what it is” . Our agent is really patient and knowledgeable. She seems to agree with his thinking as far as there are more homes out there and working with a selling agent as opposed to banks and attorneys and trustees and red tape would probably be better. I am ready to just put up a tent and be done with it. The 2 houses we liked, one there was a higher bid, and to go higher for us would have put us out of our range. So that was nixed. Then this one. ugghhhh!!!! Yeah maybe a tent!

I weigh in this morning….hoping for a loss.

I have not been sleeping too well the past few nights. I do not know if it is my body thinking it is supposed to be awake, because of the shift I work, or perhaps the mind going in every direction with everything that has been going on. I thought last night I would sleep better because we did hear from our relator and she said the other agent is emailing her our contracts, supposedly last night or sometime today! Yay! I think……..or is the start of more stressful things to come?

I worked day shift yesterday as I normally do on the Thursday of my off week. Again, everyone was ordering out (lunch this time). I had taken my food and snacks with me, and stuck with what I had taken and I felt good too. Then, last night my 23 year old daughter came over and wanted to go to Barnes n Noble. I went and I bought a few cook books. she wanted to have a cappucino @ Starbucks. She got me a light something or other and when we got home and looked it up, it was not that bad at all as far as points! Wow!!! They gave me a new nick name at work….food police! I told them they can do what they want, eat what they want, it is their choice. I am ok with the choices I  make. Some times good, sometimes eh…not so good, but I keep plugging along knowing that I am making choices good or otherwise.

I did clean out my closet, and got rid of sooo many things. Like I said, if I did not wear it, look at it or touch it in the past 6 months, it got tossed…. if it was in good condition, I put it in a bag and took it to the clothing drop box.

Well, I am off to finish my to do list for this week. All I have left is cleaning and maybe some more packing.

Have a Wonderful week end:)

I know this is my first blog in over a week, but well, things have been a little bit crazy. We did find a house and the last time I posted we were waiting for the contract stage to begin. We are still waiting. Apparently since the property is in the banks hands, our relator has to wait for the other relator to contact her before we can go to contract. And the other relator has to wait to hear from the trustee. I am getting frustrated. Between that, and the see saw carrot dangling as far as me going to the other shift at work, personal issues at home, I feel over whelmed at times. I am not whining I swear, I am just venting. The thing that gets me is that we started looking for a house in plenty of time so that things would fall into place and we would not be just jumping into something because it was getting near crunch time as far as having a house before we had to notify the office that we are not renewing another 2 year lease. I am going to follow through with my list of things to do before we move. I am going to begin today by  going through my closet and getting rid of everything I have not used, worn, or looked at in the last 6 months or more. I am also going to squeeze in food shopping, cleaning and my walk.  NO, I am NOT going to give up my commitment to losing weight and my journey to be a healthy me. I have managed to keep control of what goes into my mouth, and it has been hard, and takes a lot of thought before I pop that chunk of cake or whatever in my mouth. I know what would happen….. back to eating just for the sake of eating. I have come to realize, that for me, comfort eating is only a temporary fix. Been there, done that and I do not want to go there again…Ever.

My boss told me yesterday morning before I left that I am still in the running for going to day shift…..but I have to train 2 brand new assistants for overnights first. Ok so thats one a week for the next 2 rotations. So, I jokingly said that I will believe it when I walk in the door and hit the time clock for my day shift!

Hope everyone is having a good week

I weighed in this morning and I lost another 3 and a half pounds. I am tired so this will be short. I have been pulling quite a few extra shifts because other managers have been sick. I was supposed to start working days at the end of February, but that does not look like it is going to happen until possibly April. We found a house!!! we are waiting for the relator to get the contract ready so we can review it and all that stuff. So I am counting my days til my week off again!!!! 3 to go YAY!!!

Hope everyone has a Great weekend!( some of us have to work…. )
