Good Morning! Yesterday I wrote that I was going to ask for a meeting of the minds, I didn’t quite get there, so I went into battle dividing and conquering. After being saddled with yet another project yesterday after my post (total of 4 now) all of which had high priority and ridiculously short deadlines for only one person handling every aspect, I decided the meeting of the minds may not be such a good idea…divide and conquer seemed a better plan.

Right before the marketing meeting I stopped into see my one supervisors and let him know that I didn’t think I was going to make his deadline because the other supervisor had me working on tracking down contracts for a closing we next week…we are selling one of our student housing facilities (595 Apartments), he extended my deadline by 5 business days.
Then the marketing meeting, I saw the direction it was going, saw my out and took it…during the meeting I made some suggestions about direction, arguments for going a particular route that made sense to the President and the path has now changed, now the managers of each property and the sales team will be included in the marketing meetings and will work with our vendor to consolidate marketing efforts, increase branding, and cross market all of our entities. I went to the president after the meeting and thanked him for hearing me out, and asked him if he thought my role in the company really had much to contribute now with the direction we are going, that if not needed I had a few high priority projects that needed my attention…and I was released. Then I handed off the components I was working on along with my notes (of course) to a member of the Sales team. Then I talked to my other supervisor and asked him which of his two projects took precedence (fully knowing the answer) and he took the extra project assigned to me yesterday and gave it back to property management to do for them selves.
Two down & left two for me. Ah…it felt so good, what a relief!

Now onto the personal side of things…saw the Chiro last night, I felt much better after the disk decompression therapy. I see the GI Dr tomorrow and will ask for an MRI, things are still not moving like they should and I really think it’s a nerve issue because it all started when the sciatic pain started. I see Elle tonight for another A$$ kicking, cant wait and I’m better prepared food wise…I have a small cooler and ice pack I’m keeping at work for just those situations

I weighed in this morning…AND…I’m Down again, the number is…203lbs 3oz WOOT WOOT!!! I checked CK chart and its exactly 10 lbs from July 7th, so another 10 pounds in a month. Its funny because yesterday I was thinking nothing moved in a while, something is going to happen and this morning when I got out of the shower I noticed there was less of my stomach in my side view. So only 4 lbs away from onederland…I can hardly wait!!!

The quote that spoke to me today…because despite all my obstacles I’m still doing it…

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying: “I will try again tomorrow”. ~ Mary Anna Radmacher


Hope we all meet our goals for today and set new ones for tomorrow


Have a great Day!
