Been too busy to post much. We now have overtime available to us, should we need it. We will. I'm shocked that they actually authorized overtime instead of comp time. Was really grumpy last night at my boss because of the whole vacation issue. WHen I got home, I had a new video game to try. It basically involved racing at high speeds and crashing other cars on purpose. Great way to blow off steam.
Bought my plane tickets this weekend, and ended up pissing off my boss because he hadn't approved everything yet, even though according to the schedule, all our work will be done and in review by then. But he can take off whenever he wants.
He's denying all leave until Labor Day, at least. But I should still be able to take my trip, and if they do cancel it, I can refund the tickets, sorta. Not a big deal.
It's hot here in Houston, but I think it's actually 10 degrees cooler than the rest of the country. That's wierd. I just expect it to be hot, so I'm not bothered at all.
Counted up how much I'd spent on new clothes last month, andit was too much! Have to hold back on buying new clothes, but that's gonna be hard. I'm losing at a good clip right now. I've only got 2 size 12 skirts and one pair of shorts. So I'll need a few pants, at the least. Plus something nice to wear when I go home.
Not exercising and losing weight at a great clip. That's so wierd, but for now, I'm not gonna fight it. I don't have a lot of time to devote to exercising, and I'm trying to do little things like park farther away or go for an evening 'constitutional'.
My new eating plan seems to be helping too. Instead of forcing myself to wait 3 hours, I only make myself wait 2 hours at a minimum. If I'm hungry, I eat. If it means I eat 6 supplements I day, I don't worry about it, but so far, it hasn't happened. Instead, I actually forgot once or twice, to eat my last supplement. I think I just have to group them closer together in the middle of the day.
I know 3 people at work doing medifast, and of them, 2 can't seem to stay on the program. One is changing jobs, and the other stopped so she could go to Vegas for a week. Got me to thinking. I made a committment to see this thing through until the end, and because of that, I've changed my schedule to accomodate losing weight for this year. We're -not- going to Vegas, and even though I'm applying for a new job, I'm not skipping or cheating or anything. I guess it doesn't really matter how easy or hard a program is. Almost any program will help you lose weight if you stick to it. Maybe it's just a matter of being in the right frame of mind. I know lots of people who've lost 40-80 pounds by diet and exercise, but I didn't. I know people who lost by WW, but that's not for me. I'm not so sure that it's Medifast, although I like the food and the program is easy for me, as it's the fact that I was ready to make a change. Medifast is just the path I'm using.
