Hello girls- Today begins a new chapter for me.  I was laid off yesterday.  I must admit that I have mixed feelings.  I was pretty burnt out after the 8 years I have spent there and  I didn't have any benefits. I made decent money, but sacrificed a lot for that job.  I believe that there is something else in the works for me.  On a lighter note, I am down to 214!  That was a pleasant surprise this morning.  My ex-husband and I are communicating like adults and that makes me really happy.  I am excited for them to see him after all these years. I had a great morning, took the kiddos to school, went for an hour long walk and finished a book I have been reading.  It feels like I am on vacation(let's hope it's a short one!) No emotional eating or feeling sorry for myself, maybe I will meet a rich man or win the lottery.  That would solve everything.     lol. Have a great day everyone.

Good for you.   Life is never going to be easy so we can focus on weight loss, so we might as well learn to roll with the punches and lose weight anyway!

Well...

Well, Kell, you know what they say?  When one door closes another one opens.  When I left Cali for a big job back here... I thought great!  By the end of the first week I knew the boss was a bully and he knew I was on my way out... so he fired me first.  Within three weeks I was hired on at my current job.  The other job would have eaten me alive 24/7... the current one pays more, zippo stress, and leaves me a lot of free mental energy.
 
If one door closed, it is because another, better opportunity for you is right ahead.  Not sure why I'm telling you, because you already know...
 
Be well. Enjoy this time with your kids and network with everyone you know.   = )

Sorry

Sorry about the job loss, but you have a wonderful attitude about it.  I'm sure there will be a blessing in your near future.  Congrats on the loss and thanks for stopping by to check on me.
