So I have big, awesome exciting news.

I got a job at a child care center! I like the hours because I can still spend morning with my son, but unfortunately, the center doesn't have a spot for him at the moment. I'm searching for someone in the town where my job is at because I think the evening pick-up will be easier that way.

But this is a great opportunity for me.

Stayed up last night finishing a project. managed to knock out 6,000 words in 4 hours, after a full day (8AM-6PM) of work AND dinner with a friend after she got a flat tire - what WHAT!!! Me + Stacker2 Extra Strength Energy shots = Dream team... :P Dinner with another girlfriend tonight, turning in the project, then looking forward to sleeeeep! (Have to go into the city tomorrow, though, so not a full sleep. Oh well...)
Wow, sounds like you're getting a ton done! Hope the sleep you do get is very restful. :)

I got Skechers Sport Memory Foams and New Balance Walking Marches. Love the Memory Foams. The Marches are kind of hard and I think I'd like a more petite-looking shoe for gym workouts. Not sure how they're going to look with shorts. May need another trip to the mall! :carrot:

Congratulations! That is so exciting. :) And I'm sure they'll have a spot open up at some point for him. That is really great, CrunchyMama! :broc:

Hi Hungerwerks, intermittent fasting is something I am looking into to try to drop weight for my Bday in a little more than A week. Up and down but at least moving more in the downward direction. My gym just started a weightloss challenge that I would love to focus on my don't have enough to lose based on the others. Maybe I should just do it.....just to do it. I have to decide by the end of the month. I will what I get to by then.

Just wanted to say a quick "Hi!" to you guys! I was visiting the GrandBaby this weekend, and have an avalanche of stuff to do, now that I'm back. I missed you guys! Hope everyone is well, and I can't wait to catch up ASAP. ;)

That really sounds like fun! It would provide more incentive, too. Can't wait to hear what you decide! :broc:

I would log my weight, but I decided to have a free weekend. On Saturday, my father-in-law made pasta-- and I mean, MADE pasta; mixed eggs and flour, let it sit, rolled it out, cut it, this stuff never saw a box-- and then I more or less fasted yesterday. We still have a bunch of cupcakes, brownies and cookies around, so I'm doing my best to be good.

However, I made 2 miles in 27:20 yesterday, most of it running with very little walking.

Sounds like my kind of weekend! Actually, it was my kind of weekend: There was much merry-making, including coconut cream pie, ribs, and baked potatoes with sour cream and buttah! :cb:

Nice time on the run! That's going to make a good difference. Babysitting is what turned the tide for me. That takes a lot of footwork with an active GrandBaby. ;)

Hey girls, I'm back. :)

Sorry I haven't been posting lately! 3 weeks passed and life happened and things got busy. And I haven't been focused on my diet. But I'm here to refocus because I really do need to lose the weight! Another 15 lbs at least, because I really can't afford to buy all new pants for spring (can't fit into my old ones from last year).

Good thing is though, stepped on the scale today and clocked in at 139.8 lbs. So, while I haven't lost any weight the past 3 weeks, I also haven't gained back the 5 lbs I lost in February. I was so sure I would have!

My goal is to be 125 again by 4th of July BBQs. That's about a pound a week. Think I can do it?

Not gaining back is quite an accomplishment - congratulations! :broc: And if you find an approach you like, that works, then losing one pound a week is definitely do-able. ;)
