Butterflies and Rainbows

While reviewing my weightloss charts today, I realized that I have continued to bounce around with the same 4-5 pounds for quite a while.  I actually entered the 220’s on October 29 only to bounce back to the 230’s exactly two weeks later…..and this is where I’ve stayed since then….between 231 and 236.  Have I become complacent? Lazy? Secure?  Am I scared to venture into the unknown?  Yeah, I was there for a while back in 2005, but it feels like a loooong loooong time ago!  As of yesterday’s weigh-in, I’m 1.8 pounds away.  My goal is to break into the 220’s again.  If I concentrate, I think I can do this by next Monday’s weigh-in.  Then, 2-teens….here I come!

I got a big surprise yesterday.  I will be moving to a different position within my company. They are restructuring and I will be getting a new boss, new co-workers and focusing on special projects only. The move is not technically a promotion as I will stay at the same grade level, however, my current boss did tell me that I will be getting a raise that will “pleasantly surprise” me. Wow! That will be very nice. Now, I’m on pins and needles with waiting to hear the actual number. And, I have butterflies about the position. The position will mean a bit more stress and juggling more hats and I still have a ton to learn, however, I do still get to telecommute from home.

Yesterday, I stayed on-plan and tracked my calories, but I didn’t get any exercise. I ended up fighting a migraine and an upset stomach. The headache is gone…Thank God!..but, my stomach is still giving me some problems. Hopefully, it will clear up today so I can get on the treadmill. Yesterday’s weekly weigh-in was great for me however, I know that I need to invest in some sweat equity to keep the scales moving.
