Making some good choices
Current weight: 224 (-.5)
I’m fairly proud of myself and the choices I have been making the last few days. Life has been busy and stressful to say the least. I worked at school on helping to develop a character education program on Weds/Thurs which involved working lunches both days. And both days I made the healthiest choices available. I also made sure that I got up early to fit in my workout and I’m happy to see that I’m down 1/2 a pound from Wednesday. I wasn’t sure what to expect.
We have also broken ground on our new house, yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, yesterday the realtor came by to price our home and fortunately it’s almost the exact dollar amount we were thinking it was worth. My hubby’s grandpa is our official realtor but he brought another realtor by to make sure that he’s pricing it correctly and she said she thought it would sell very quickly and easily. Man, I hope she’s right.
And I have been working furiously to get ready for the job interview for the counseling position. I think I wrote about this the other day but the principal called and asked if I had to choose b/t the Spanish and counseling jobs which would I prefer. I stammered a lot and didn’t answer but emailed him later that evening and said I would prefer the counseling job. He called today and asked me to come in at 1:00 on Monday for a “discussion, not really even an interview.” He basically said he just wanted to meet me and learn my thoughts about a high school counseling program. It sounds really, really, really promising but I’m not going to celebrate until that job has been officially offered to me. I have spent the last few days updating my portfolio and resume and I’m just about ready. And of course I had to go shopping and pick up a new jacket for the interview b/c I don’t want to wear the same outfit from last time and I’m happy to say that the 16W is actually a smigde too roomy but they didn’t have a 14 and it was a great deal so I bought it. I will definitely keep you all posted on the job situation.
My goal over the weekend is to get caught up on your blogs. It kind of scared me how busy I was the last few days b/c in a few short weeks I’ll be headed back to school and this will be everyday life. Oh well, I’ll remember how to find time to fit everything into my day, I do it every year.
Progress toward workout goal: 73/300
I’m incredibly happy for you, Brandi! It sounds like so many things are going great. I KNOW you’ll get that counseling job and be fantastic at it.
Great job on staying on track with the diet and exercise. Especially with the working lunches. That’s always a hurdle.
Your house will sell quickly. I’m sure. And you’re going to be in the new one before you know it.
Thanks so much for hanging in there with me on all the turmoil this summer. I’m amazed and grateful at your support during a time when I’ve been so incredibly self-centered. Your support means more to me than I can express.
HUGS!
