I have to work today
I know, I know. It's been too long since I posted.
Things have just been busy at work and grad school the last few weeks. The position I have now is only temporary so I've been working my but off to prove that they need me. It will probably be another month or so, until I know for sure. I really like working here, it's such a fun place to come to everyday. If I don't get picked up full time though, I will at least be here until mid March, so I plan on enjoying every minute of it.
As for my diet, things have been going nowhere. I've been at the same weight for almost four weeks now. I tried Sparkpeople for about a month. I liked the recipes, etc. but it just didn't help me at all.
Today, though, I am starting the Best Life diet. I like that it holds you accountable for your activity level, and that it doesn't just focus on what you are eating. During the first phase, the only thing you have to follow what they eat is breakfast, which I have no problem doing. I have always been a healthy breakfast person. But, I am also trying the other meals too. I mean, why not?
I'm feeling good about this. I think it is going to work well for me. I need to be held accountable for my activity, which has definitely been less then it used to be. I'll let you know how it goes.
Well, I can't end this post without telling you what happened to me yesterday. It's been quite cold here in Chicago the last couple of days; single digit temperatures. Because of that, some of the heating pipes broke, and we had a small flood in our condo. 
It ended up not being so bad. The carpet along the walls that lign the hallway got soaked about four feet out. So, we have industrial fans and de-humidifiers all over the place for the next day or two until it is completely dry. Luckily, we were home, and we're able to get everything off the floor. The carpet is stained, and a little smelly, but the good news is, we were planning on getting new carpet anyway. So now insurance is going to pay for it, instead of us. You got to look on the bright side of things. 
Have a good day everyone! I promise to keep better in touch.
