Working at the weight loss plan is really working for me. Well, for my diet at least. I am down a total of 58 lbs. and that is the first significant movement in the right direction for awhile.
The rest of it is going ok. I enjoy my clients for the most part and I am still feeling like I am helping and get some good feedback on what I am doing.
Thank you Shelly!
Today, while in a rather intimate moment with my Matt, we hear the dog bark…outside. I had forgotten that I let him out to go potty. It is raining and muddy out. FUCK!!! I had just cleaned the bathroom the day before and now I have to give the damn dog a bath. He made a huge mess of the bathroom, shaking fur everywhere.
Then, we went out to breakfast. We went to Le Peep where I always get the Dawn Breaker. I had looked up the calories and everything so I knew what I was getting into and felt like I was going to still stay on plan. OF COURSE. That item is no longer on the friggin menu. So I ordered something that was less than what I wanted. I hate that!!
Next, we ventured out to get a broiler pan. We went to Linens and Things because they are supposed to have all of that stuff. NOT. So then we had to go to Target. Target is always a zoo on Sundays so that just sucked.
Then we make it home in time to watch NC State play basketball. Now, I could care less, but Matt loves March Madness so I wanted him to be able to watch the game and enjoy it. Well, they didn’t show it on schedule and then kept breaking away to other games. NC State lost miserably, so that put Matt in a kind of sour mood.
We were looking forward to having a new recipe, beef tenderloin with wasabi slaw. The beef tenderloin cost $15.99 a pound so we set the table nicely with candles and everything to make it a special meal. The meat was rubbed with salt, wasabi powder and brown sugar and then the slaw had soy, rice vinegar and more wasabi powder. It sounded and smelled great. However, one bite put a look on Matt’s face that I never hope to see again. The meat was awful and the slaw, worse.
So now, we’re waiting for pizza and Matt went to buy “Serenity”. He came back, only to find out he had purchased the wrong version. OMG…
I can only hope the pizza is good….
Update: And, even more suckitude. I went upstairs to go to bed to find the dog had gotten into the Target bag containing my black hair dye box and had ripped open the box and punctured the dye tube with his tooth. So now there is a nice black stain on my brand new, expensive, bamboo sheets. Lovely.
Shelly took this of me and I have to thank her profusely for making me look so good.
So, it’s no secret that I haven’t been blogging, but life has been hellishly busy and this is the first moment I have really even felt like it.
I quit my job at the bank. “WHAAA?” you say? Well, I don’t know what the hell got into me, but I went to my first real day on the job and had panic attack after panic attack. I cried my whole lunch break and just felt like there was no way I could do this job. I made it through the day, walked over to the parking garage where I was hit in the head with the arm thingy, and then made my way to the door that led to my car. It was locked!!! So, because I couldn’t get in that way, I didn’t have the same reference point and therefore couldn’t find my car. Once I did finally find it after 10 minutes of wandering around, I promptly threw up and my head throbbed. Once I made it home, I was so miserable that I took 4 Advil and went to bed with a trashcan nearby.
All the next day, a day off thankfully, I agonized over quitting. I knew I couldn’t go back, but I needed to have the job and I had already invested a lot of time in training and a lot of money in shoes and clothes. After crying almost all day, I decided to give something a shot. I called my favorite counselor at LA Weight Loss and asked her what the possibility would be of me working there. She said I could come in the following day for an interview. I convinced Matt to let me quit the job at the bank and hoped upon hope that I would get the job at LAWL.
I went in and handed Jenny my resume and she looked it over briefly, made a phone call and offered me the job!!! I am now through training and am working at Jenny’s center as a weight loss counselor and loving it. I really, finally feel as if I actually make a difference and that people who sit with me feel like they are really getting something out of it.
Another great perk is that I get a great discount on supplements and all the other stuff they offer, so now I can afford to use some of the things I had been avoiding.
I also, now, have no excuse to not stick to my diet. I would feel like a total hypocrite telling people what they should do if I can’t do it myself.
Big sigh of relief!
