Hi! I've been thinking about you girls.
Tori: When I logged on this morning the first thing I saw was "Come on, Everyone lets commit together, let ourselves have a healthy treat daily but stay OP 90% OF the time all day" For me that is the battle cry for this group! and I really needed to see it.
I did pretty well this week with all the crazy, long work hours and the issues with FIL. I got in 3 workouts and I lost a 1 lb at my TOPS weigh-in. I was off track yesterday...but I did 90% for the 100% and it worked. We can ALL do this!
Tori: I used to do Zumba and I LOVED it...It is so much fun and you are right..keep that class up and you won't be the biggest in the class for long.
Carri: You can get back on track...right now.....do it!
At TOPS Thursday night we were sharing some of the things that we do to keep our heads in this weight loss battle. One lady said that at times she gets tired of trying to take the weight off...and so when she is feeling like that, she gives herself permission to just maintain for that week or two that she feels like that. It gives her body a break and at some point, we will reach goal and will practice maintenance every day, so she tells herself she is "practicing" that..and about 2 weeks later, she is ready to get more weight off.
Dee: How did your canning go? I can't believe all you do! You have a lot of energy lady. You are my role model. In another post you said, you wished we all lived closer and could get together. I do to! I keep telling my DH that I need 2 weeks at Dee's resort and I would come back to my life so balanced and well. Thank you for always inspiring us!
Alyssa: Are you still around? You are missed!
I've got to get in gear. I have some house cleaning to do and then tonight..me and my best friend from high school are going to see Adam Ant in concert! We are so excited. We saw him 30 years ago....and he is going to be in KY tonight and we are going...it's going to be fun, fun, fun!
Oh..I also wanted to let you all know that my work is going to continue to be crazy. I will now be supporting a Director and a Associate Director full-time. Someone else will support the Research Fellows and the Principal Scientists that I was supporting and a couple of my projects that I worked on for them will go to that person as well. Most of my work now will be heavy calendar management ( A lot of meetings...and a lot of solving time conflicts), as well as the department budget, and all the department HR stuff.
Supporting a Director is excellent for my career path. It will be much easier to be working with a Director that we have in our US offices daily and that I work with directly every day...but it will be very busy, as now I will deal with working with VP schedules.
This is a promotion for me--I just got to get and stay organized so I don't loose myself in all the work!
