Thursday, Oct 28 2010 - Get Into the Groove
View KRIS319's food & exercise for this day
Wow! It's not cool when I get out of the groove. I'm a total wreck. The past seven days have just not been good physically. I'll spare you every little detail, but here are some highlights . . .
It's Halloween, so at my house that means working my behind off on a costume for the husband . . . I've been making pieces of meat out of felt and other fabrics for the better part of these past seven days. (Finished product pictures to come tomorrow, I promise.) I also had the help of my very best friend in the world who came up over the weekend to get a break from her life and help me with mine.
Thursday last week I got a call from an old boss to schedule an interview with me - wouldn't it be nice to find a new job SOONER rather than later?!?!? - so I've been prepping for that.
Monday morning as I was trying on a new outfit to show my friend what I was going to wear for my interview, (WARNING: TMI/overshare ALERT) she asked me if I didn't have any better bra to wear because clearly my old bras are way too big now and my boobs shouldn't be closer to my bellybutton than my chest. So she decided I should jump in the car and drive back to Columbus with her and we would go on a shopping spree. I do have to say that it was great to find something that fits and I look alot better with clothing and undergarments that fit, but that was just more on my plate than I needed.
Yesterday was the interview. It went okay, but the company, while a really good one to get on with, has a lot of red tape to get hired on, so my old boss who says she really wants me in this position said it could take a coouple of months to get me on board. That works for me, but in my current mental/emotional state freaks me out a bit.
More to come, but need to get ready to go on a home visit as a CASA . . . will update later.
So the week got crazier still . . . all I can say is that I need to be working out alot more otherwise I need to get back on taking my anti-depressants. And I have to get in the groove as far as eating goes. I've been kind of just playing it by ear for a week and my body doesn't feel good. I am hungry when I have clearly eaten more than I should have and I'm eating foods I shouldn't be able to and tolerating them. I guess that means I need to start policing myself more. I just feel like I'm a little crazy right now. Will I ever get back into the groove?

I'm feeling a bit better today, at least physically. The demanding week led to a bunch of bad choices . . . skipped exercise, eating too fast or the wrong things. I am trying to do everything by the book today and physically feeling better after doing so. Emotionally I think everything has really caught up to me . . . four weeks post-op and the layoff are taking their toll. I'm so glad that Halloween is over and I can maybe get back into a groove . . . oh, but here come the hoildays, right?

Wow! You lost that much weight already that you have to get new underwear? Cool beans. Are you feeling okay, physically?????? Are you able to eat muc? My boss had that kind of surgery and he lost gobs of weight really fast but he can hardly eat anything. He says it doesn't bother him though.

I hope you get the position and take advantage of the next few months to work on you! It might be a blessing that it will take some time to get you hired.
Hope you are feeling great.
