View CELAWLOR's food & exercise for this day
Yesterday was one of my worst nutritional days in recent history. Completely over in the fats; did okay on sodium; not even close on carbs, fiber and protein. <sigh> But I did stay under calories, though.
Prospective employer from San Antonio called to say the bad weather closed the airport this morning and that he was in his car headed this way. Most likely won't make it until 10:00. No prob! Still very excited (almost giddy) about this meeting. Oh, I need to call the receptionist and change my reservation.....done.
Okay, so yesterday I really didn't want to lift weights. I think I figured out why: I hate having to stop my groove to wait for a machine. I asked Scott if he wanted to switch to free weights and we tried it. It worked out pretty well and the free weight area isn't nearly as busy as the weight machine area and you get a better workout. So, I enjoyed working with the free weights and so did Scott. I need to find my old lifting gloves so my hands don't get calouses, though.
Interview Update: Wow. That was a great interview. Maybe the best one, ever. The guy has two other candidates to interview. I said, "yeah, but I am the best one"and he said "I think you may be right." I know I am because I asked him how he even found new people with the specialized skillsets required to do this kind of work and he tells me that there are three major skillset's that they look for, along with the right personalities, and when they find two out of three with the personality, they think they are doing good, and work on creating the rest. With me, I already have all three skillsets deeply developed and the personality. He said when they find all three (which has never happened, he admitted) that they feel like they hit the jackpot. I feel awesome. I feel like I have this one in the bag...with a $10k raise and the opportunity to travel. They pay you even more if you are willing to be a road warrior. Scott wants to be a stay at home dad, so I can do that! Am I glowing? LOL.
He said he will call me Tuesday (or sooner) and the next step will be me coming out to their offices for a day to meet with the team and pass their approval.
