Guess what everyone?! I GOT THE FIRST CALL!!! Anyone who has worked for the government, especially the VA, should know what I am talking about. The first call is one of about three communications you get when you've got the job. In other words, San Antonio has accept my motion for a transfer! I got a call yesterday from the chief himself! He asked me if I was still interested, how long would it take for me to get there, then we made small talk. Then he told me that HR would contact me. HR will be the second call, then I will probably get a letter telling me when orientation is. Since the SA VA is about four times bigger than the Birmingham one, I'm sure I'm going to have to do orientation again. Now, if I hadn't gotten the job, he wouldn't have called me and he definitely wouldn't have told me HR would call me! YAY!
Needing support. I would like to join. Its a great plan . Im working on my second 10. Is anyone using alli? What do you think of it? Can it be bought in Canada?
SHARI : hat::congra t:
I'm so so happy for you can you tell?
Dia - I'm on my 2nd try on Alli. I stopped a while back for medical reason. (Alli wasn't the cause) My 1st experience went very well as far as my eating and I suffered no Treatment Effects. There were some women that ate more fat then allowed to "test" the what ifs. I'm not that brave. They said that (Ok for those of you with weak stomachs don't read on) Their bowls consisted of an oily orange liquid like on the top of pizza floating on the potty. As far as I recall everyone made it to the bathroom many did take care to have an extra set of panties and wear pantie liners for the just incase if they over did it. Most including myself did have mild headaches the 1st couple weeks but they went away. ( I took advil) Also most of us started TOM shortly after taking it. If you do decide to take it join the MY ALLI site. Provided by Alli. They have a fourm for Questions. You also get free gifts after certain milestones.
Like I stated before I'm on my 1st week of my second try so far no headaches or TOM.
Also I know there are women from Canada taking it but I'm not sure if they bought it there or if it's from Mail order. You may want to check out the ALLI site.
Ahh ok, I'm totally in with this "10lbs 10 times' Idea...its such a good one, i totally need some kick up the ***, and if the baby steps are the way then so be it!!
Out of interest, im from the UK..and not new with the whole 'lbs' thing, 10lbs is roughly about a stone isn't it?????!!!!!!!!
Welcome Anna! I looked online and it seems that 1 stone is about 14 lbs.
So I had a NSV last night and NO it didn't have anything to do with halloween candy! I got a call from my BFF telling me that she had just got a check in the mail from our school for over a $1000! Left over financial aid. So we were both psyched but as soon as I got off the phone, I could feel myself going downhill. I was thrilled for her but I couldn't help but wonder why does everyone else get the good luck? Then I looked at the huge stack of bills on my kitchen table and started crying. then I immediately started to hate myself. i ran into the bedroom and dug out the whooping $2.17 that I have to my name, fully intending to march down to the gas station and drown myself in 25 cent fudgies. i was counting out the change ( yes! CHANGE!) when I actually stopped and asked myself, what the **** are you DOING?!?! I'm shocked no one called the cops cause I got up and started screaming at myself and cussing. I bit my tongue and that quieted me down. Then I went and made myself a packet of hot chocolate. it worked.
I just saw this today...I even had my ticker set for 10#'s at a time, so I know I need to be a part of this group.
I am close to leaving my first 10 behind. I have 7 down, 3 to go. It's not as hard as I thought it was... but it is a continuous journey... 10 lbs at a time.
Shari – HUGZ and more HUGZ Girl! You stopped a major tigger that could have set you in a tail spin I’m so very proud of you.
annaedwards - Welcome to our group! I look forward to helping you with your new lifestyle.
UntilMommi – Welcome to our group your doing great!
As for me I went to my 1st Curves class lastnight. I actully thought the time went fast. I really think I like it. I came home in a great mood. Then ( insert horror music here) my husband was being a passive butthead complaining about everything. Cussing and such... I hate when that happens.
Mez ~ I'm glad you enjoyed the class. Sorry for silly DH.
My morning has started out fantastic. I went to bed with a raging headache last night, the pain woke me up at 3 am and I could barely get back to sleep. Then, being my usual stupid self, I decided to call my bank's hotline to see how much my check was: $255. Oh wow! THAT's definitely going to cover my bills! What's the ****ing point of me switching to nights?! I went to nights knowing that I was going to be getting paid more and assuming that my check would look like my BFF's check, over $300. But NOOOOO! Not for Shari. This is what I get. I should have know it won't go right. I called payroll and basically, I do get paid more hourly, but my checks are going to basically stay the same. Taxes. Huh. ****!
I stepped on the scate today and it did move down. I'm hoping it will be the same or even less by Friday. I'm one of those ppl that like to weight myself pretty much daily. Sometime it's stops me from over eating.
Not alot going on there other than my son not showing me the order form for his senior announcements. He was going to throw it out!!! He said he doesn't see the point. I had to drag him to take Seniors pictures. He's an A student and does take pride in school but he doesn't see the point on spending money on those kind so things. Now my daughter we had no problem with she loved taking her pictures and choosing announcments... go figure... sorry if lots of typos grandkid will be here soon .... umm there are here.. have a good day everyone!!!
Hello again everyone... just checkin' in. I'm 1lb closer... gonna really focus this week/month.... so I can get these pounds off. I hope I have my first 10 gone this week.
Thanks for the warm welcome.... and I'm gonna keep on going!
Mez ~ make sure you get your boy all his senior stuff. I still regret not getting my senior stuff from Pleasant Grove. depression's a *****.
WOOOT Until! WTG!
So it's official! I got the call from HR today and I start in San Antonio on Dec. 10! Wow. Now, I'm kinda annoyed and excited nervous. Annoyed cause I have about three weeks to pack up my apartment (I hate, hate, HATE packing!) and excited nervous cause I'm actually doing this!!!
