I thought I would just start this up! So I had a weigh in today.. and I'm only down 1 pound.. which means I gotta lose 3 pounds for the next 2 weeks in order to hit my end of Oct Challenge! I don't know that I can do it.. but I'll plug away anyways! I am trying to look at the positive.. but yah.. I can't do it. I'm still trying to lose the weight from my darn Seattle trip, which means I'm still 1 pound UP! Okay, enough weight talk..

Whats new? What are the plans for the weekend? I am working of course! The good news is that someone new is taking over writing the schedules at work, and I'm going to FINALLY get a weekend off! yay

So I got up this morning and did "8 Minutes in the Morning", it's a weight routine that only takes about 8 minutes in the morning.. hence the name. I'm hoping it's something I can stick to because it's so little time.. I have such huge time issues, so this might fit in perfectly Have a great Friday

Aimee: Hi there. I am working too. My manager seems pretty good and doing the schedules. She tries to rotate the Friday and Saturday night shifts as well as the Sunday. I am working tonight until 9:30, tomorrow from 12 to 5 and Sunday from 1-6. Can you block off the occasional weekend? I know the FT people at work are entitled to one weekend off a month. They changed my scehdule on me though so I am going to have to try and switch my Thursday night shift next week since I have plans... argh (well a girl has the same hours I had on the Friday so I will ask if I can switch with her)! Oh well if I can't I'll give my ticket to my friend so she can bring someone along for an alumni thing that's happening.

As for me, I am working tonight and running tomorrow morning and on Sunday morning. OI gotta find a time to clean as well. I also just got invited to a Halloween party so I have to figure out what to dress up as. I haven't been to a Halloween party thin before (even though my weight is up, I am pretty thin again, I can see my ribs again yah!).

Oh I forgot to mention, I had a pair of jeans that I couldn't even get all the way up a while ago and now I can button them up! I am probably about 5lbs away from wearing them comfortably but I was so excited!! The running is also helping me build up my legs. Yah!!

Cheers!

Ali

Kierie: Thanks

Have a good day!

Ali - how tall are you? and what size are you? And is it just me.. or does this little section not talk about their actual weight a whole lot? I can understand why.. lots of people can get obsessed with the number.. As for asking for weekends off, if I want to get good hours I have to be available ALL the time, and if I wasn't working weekends I'd be short all of those hours.. I can only hope the girl doing the schedule now keeps up this new trend for me

Well I am off to work! Have a great weekend

Hi Aimee: I am 5'6 and about 159 right now (technically I am overweight, I don't think so though, I am slim or thin, but not skinny)... I have a very thin upper body when I am in good shape, just the way I am, but my lower half is quite the reverse. I know where I want to be which is a size 6 (I have been a size 4 but that was too small)... I am caring less and less about the number on the scale.. I am about a size 8 right now (a comfortable 8).

Cheers!

Ali
