Ladies: Good afternoon. How is everyone? I managed to sleep last night because I took some Ambien, so I feel more human today -- not good, but better. I plan on packing tonight and this weekend, so nothing too exciting planned. I am going to speed dating Monday though.
I'm currently fighting with my complex about how much they want to sever my lease early, considering that I'm leaving because they cannot manage their own noise tenants. That's very stressful, and if they push me I'll give in and pay them what they demand, but I have to at least try to fight it, since they're basically telling me that they know they failed to make the place habitable, but that's irrelevant to my breaking my lease. I have been a perfect tenant for them, so it really ticks me off, you know? ANYWAY, I am moving to a great new place, a house, not an apartment, actually, a two bedroom that is farther from work but closer to my gym, with relatively new (within the last year) tile floors and appliances, and my own washer/dryer.
It will be great to be able to sleep at night.
I've been thinking about why I lose weight this week. I had previously been allotting myself more than my base (24 and then 22) to get rid of my dizziness, thinking I wasn't eating enough. That did work, but I was also eating my flex and exercise points. The good news is that it was easy to maintain that way, so it looks like my maintenance points per day is probably around 24. The bad news is that it was hard to lose that way, but I was reluctant to "give up" my flex points in order to increase my intake during the week -- I wanted to save my flex points for the weekend. But this weekend I only ended up using about 20 flex points, and I alloted myself two extra points per day. I just don't to use those flex points during the week, so once the weekend was over, they just sat there. But I realized after W/I Thursday that by leaving those 15 points "in the bank", I was effectively eating exactly what I was supposed to -- 20 points per day (my minimum), plus 2 flex points per day (14 per week), and then I used the remaining 20 on the weekend. It's hard to "give up" those points, but I love losing two pounds in one week, so I'm going to try that again this week (spreading out 2 of my flex points per day and not giving myself any "free extra points" and then using my 20 remaining flex points on the weekend.) Whew. That's a lot to get out, but I guess I was running it by you guys to get your feedback.
We'll see how it works out this week.
Princess: Thank you! I am so excited to lose the weight.
Re the new work opportunities: That's great news. I hope to maybe be a PMP someday or a manager, so I admire you.
I've studied the basics of PM, and I do a lot of PM work here at my company, since we're relatively small (about 50 employees now.) We can talk slack diagrams and EST and LST.
Enjoy your vacation!
Judy: Thank you very much! I was quite excited about it too. It's great to lose 2 pounds after weeks of losing less than a pound, gaining less than a pound, then repeat. You can hack it. The heat is awful. Salt can definitely do that to you. What are you guys dressing up as? Yes, we understand...
Anyway, back to work...take care, ladies!
