Before After

I disappeared for a while...

I have to admit, I disappeared from the site for a while but I continued to exercise and eat well during the whole time. I am down to about 151-152, struggling to get in to the 140s. I did not get job that I interviewed for which was truly a bummer but it seems harder and harder now to get a job -- makes me which I had stayed in the DC area for grad school and just shelled out extra money instead of going to a different area. At least then I would have had a job in this area! I guess time is necessary to really find a job that I am a good fit for, I am just truly impatient - both with weight loss and jobhunting.

I am going on a little mini-getaway to Texas at the end of this week which will give me a nice opportunity not to focus on finding a job, or really being unable to find a job. I am dreading it a little bit though because it seems that the person I am visiting wants to go out and eat quite a bit and that might not be the best idea since I am trying to get in better shape.

In other news I had the bridesmaids dress fitting and I went with the size or two smaller than what my measurements were in early Jan and the dress fit, there was a little room at the top but other than that it did fit. I was still unfortunately the largest bridesmaid and it was not the most flattering dress but such is life. I do find it quite funny that although I am the largest bridesmaid (in terms of dress size) I have the smallest feet and hands (size 6.5 and 4.5 ring finger with really teeny wrists). It makes no sense! Makes me just think in my head why isn't the rest of me teeny? Ah life. How you make no sense sometimes! 

Ok well wanted to write a quick update since I havent been here in FOR-EVER. I hope that everyone is doing well and that you are all succeeding with your plans. Keep up the great work!!!

Enjoy!

Wow! Enjoy the mini-getaway to Texas. What a nice time you'll have. I hope that your diet doesn't overshadow your visit with your friend... would it be weird to go and "eat out" with that friend and just order a diet coke/coffee/etc? Or just a soup/salad and then make sure you have healthy snacks back at the place where you are staying? Either way, good luck with that!

Perhaps the trip will leave you more refreshed?! and ready to rock it on the job hunt. That's got to be stressful. Have you had friends review the wording and such on your resume lately? Or is it just the job market in your area?
