I'm Checking In
I really miss having the time to check in everyday. Work is kicking my butt. (12 and a half hour day yesterday alone). I am still trying to get used to my new boss. At times she can be really nice and happy with the work we are doing, but most times, she doesn't even smile. She has a lot on her plate (some of which she could give to her supervisors) but since she is at the top, she sets the tone (And the tone is watch your back). I'm not really having as much fun this year and that makes me really sad. Part of that is her, and part of that is I miss my friends that I worked with in the office last year. One has a new job and I still get to see her at our daughters dance studio. The other was cast in one of our shows and that is what he needs to be doing. He was a great supervisor, but he is an amazing performer and I am so happy for him. I get to see him when I go check in on the cast but this year is just not the same. It makes me sad but that is the way life goes.
Diet wise it has been so-so this week. My friend in the show came over on Wednesday and we drank way to much. (46 lbs makes a big difference whe you don't drink that much). Another challenge has been remembering to take my thyroid medicine everytime I eat at work which of course slows down my metabolism. I'm hoping the miles I walk each day will help offset that. Maybe if I leave notes all over the office, I will remember. My water intake is still not what I want it to be, but it is better than I thought it would be. I would like to lose 4 more pounds by June 21st. I leave for Florida that day. "Fifty by Florida" has a nice ring to it.
I hope everyone out there is doing well. Drop my a line. Remember we are strong and we can do this.
