Okay, so I am back from vacation...and what a vacation. Ever have something planned and then it all goes horribly wrong? Well, that was my vacation time, which was supposed to be spent moving from one city to my new house in a neighboring city. But it's not easy to move furniture and boxes when the guy who is being paid to install the flooring puts you off for an entire week!! It was the most wasted vacation ever...no fun to be had and nothing really accomplished. I am almost glad to be back to work.

Speaking of which...it's kind of sad when you work for someone for three years and they still don't know how to spell your first name. Sara...not Sarah. Considering she signs my checks every two weeks, I was almost certain she knew how to spell it. Guess I was expecting too much. *sigh*

I almost want to call the house just to see if I hear the sound of hammers in the background. That would mean they are still there working and that they haven't just put in three hours of work and then call it a day again. I really almost lost it on them on Saturday when they said that. And it takes a lot to get me mad or upset, so the fact I was shaking with anger and so upset I could cry means that I had reached the end of my rope and was about to use a length of it to hang the flooring guy. I hope once he's done that he never steps another foot back into our house.

Happily I only have a few things left at the apartment, some of which I will be bringing home tonight. Since I'm paid up until the end of the month, I can now take my time on the little things and cleaning up. I wasn't able to talk the manager into forgetting about the rate increase for my roomies, but I was able to get her to agree to have the carpets professionally cleaned. Which means I don't have to clean them as well as I had originally planned. I am a very good tenant...when I move out, it's move in ready. It's just part of who I am.

So, if all goes even a slight bit on the side of "well," then when I get home this evening my bedroom flooring will be completed, the hall and spare room will be completed, and the office will be well on it's way. This would mean I can fill up the dressers (since they won't have to be moved again), build the shoe rack, and install the TV.

Wow...so far this has been very little diet related of a post. *lol* Let's correct that.

I've been doing...ok...on eating. I did end up having Subway three days in a row thanks to friends and family who were helping me wanting to eat there and since I was paying (a typical exchange, food for assistance in moving), I kind of had to go with them. Not sure yet how this will impact the scale when I get the courage to step back on it. But, my clothes are definitely still loose and I've given more of them away (including some favorites because even though I loved them, I didn't want to ever fit them again).

Since my schedule is back to normal, my eating is getting that way too. I've gotten back on track with my breakfasts, snacks, and lunch. Now to get my parents to understand that me not eating what they are is not an insult to my mother's cooking but necessary to my health. They seem to understand but then mom will cook 4 cheese mashed potatoes or corn dripping with butter and wonder why there is only grilled chicken on my plate. *lol*

But today my boss (who can't spell my name) did make it a point to tell me how proud she was of me sticking to my diet and losing the weight. She said it's amazing the difference it has made. I actually scrolled through photos my friends have of me on Facebook (as I don't put up photos of myself) and just looking at them has me realizing I now weigh less than any of those photos...some of which are over four years old!

When I hit 60 lbs lost, my mother and I are headed to Islands of Adventure in Orlando to spend the whole day in Harry Potter World. I am so excited about it (as a big Harry Potter fan) that I hope to reach that goal by the end of the month! Since it opens to the public on June 18th, we may not be the first visitors, but we'll be early enough to see it before people start to deface it (I hate that people always have to break and destroy things that are so beautiful and creative).

I don't know if I will post again this week..but if I don't...have a great week my friends!
