Good Morning! OMG TGIF!!!!! So I’m sitting here at my desk writing with ice on my foot…specifically on my middle toe on the left foot after an office incident involving our President, a door and my toe! It happened innocently enough; he opened the door of the office I was standing in, he was excited to deliver good news and ran my bare toe over with the door. He feels awful but my toe is red, a little swollen and I’m sure the employee handbook will now have an amendment that no open toed shoes are allowed. So here I sit with ice waiting for the HR manager to call me in because I was told I had to fill out an incident report. I am so done with this week!!!!

We are all also waiting for the word that the closing on the sale of one of our properties went through, I have to complete domain transfers, have the VPN tunnel disabled and send the ftp access for the website and my part in this project is done. The mood here is very upbeat, this property and the staff there have been to put it nicely “difficult” over the years, creating busy work and making more work for others who have had to fix their constant errors and the way the property manager treated people was borderline abusive. In my opinion its managements fault because they didn’t put a stop to it, they knew about it, pretty much everyone who dealt with them complained to the executive managers and nothing was done in the past 7 years, they turned a blind eye and we all had to suffer. A few months ago the property manager was fired because she was working with a contractor to embezzle money, they were being paid for work not performed and they were splitting the money. Not sure how she was caught but if you play with fire you deserve to get burned. Anyway, there seems to be a lot of happy faces here today and some gourmet bagels and various spreads mysteriously appeared in the kitchen.

I choose not to partake in the bagel festivities; I worked out with Elle last night and burned 781 calories. It was good and needed, especially since I had to cancel one of my sessions this week. I’m committed to my healthy lifestyle…I did it, I bought 24 more training sessions last night and they gave me 4 free; so with what I have remaining, that will take me clear into the first Thursday in December! I wonder what I will feel and look like then…hmm. Oh yes and I weighed in this morning…I’m at… 201 LBS and 4OZ!!!! YAY ME!!! WOOT WOOT!!! I can’t believe I’m only two pounds away from being under 200 lbs (its been over 6 years) and what I’ve learned about myself on this journey. I really think the difference between last time and this time is that I’m doing this and adjusting it to my life, I’m more focused on finding a balance with life, hitting my calories and going to the gym 2xs a week instead of being consumed by calories and the gym 7 days a week and putting my life on hold…this time I’m doing it and living at the same time. It feels good.


Oh, I almost forgot, I think I get my prescription glasses tonight, I have to call and see if they are in…oh I hope so. I have the grand baby Saturday and Sunday, there are a few places I want to take him while the weather is still nice.

OK, that’s it for me today…

Have a great day!
