Time to Get to Work
I just received a very encouraging comment from someone about my weight loss and it reminded me that that I had not blogged about my highly unsuccessful weigh in this week with a whopping 2.2 lb gain. That means that I had to have eaten and EXTRA 7700 calories. Believe me, even though I did not track my points very well last week, I know I didn't eat that many calories. I do know that I had Chinese food and soy sauce. Put 2 and 2 together and it equals fluid retention. Oh well, I need to rethink the eating out thing again.
I am not sure that a Monday weigh in is the best for my psyche because I can check my scale on Monday morning and see it up and then of course I weigh in at WW and I am up but by Tuesday or Wednesday morning I'm back down. The problem is that I like the Monday group so I'm going to stick with it and watch what I eat better. I weighed this morning and I'm down 4 lbs from Monday morning. Since this seems to be a trend with me, this up one week then big loss the next I'm not discouraged.
I have a goal of March 17th to reach the 75 lb mark AND have a job. Wasn't that a good segway? I'm still unemployed and recent issues with my former employer have caused a financial strain on us that will force me to go get any job that will pay more than unemployment. That rules out all the fun jobs like Starbucks or the front door lady at Walmart and will push me into an office job as long as it pays at least $12 per hour. What a pay cut. Oh well...a girl has to work.
I spent my blogging time yesterday looking at the job pages of many of the major high-tech companies here in Austin. I applied for several jobs that I am at least mostly qualified for. I'm having the education issue again. I have 99 credit hours and three AAS degrees and one certificate from our community college but that just does not compare to that BS. Sigh...I need a job that will allow me to go back to school AGAIN.
