Good Things!
I got a call this morning that is going to change our lives. I got the job that I was hoping to get! I will be starting on Monday morning! I also told them that I cannot work next Friday due to our plans to go to Kennywood and he was fine with that!! My current employer has been so understanding and really great so she is covering my work days so that I don’t even have to work two more weeks for her like I offered to. Things are falling into place for me and I couldn’t be any happier. Finally.
I went to the gym today and I decided not to do a class. I have been going to classes for about two months now and not doing any workouts on my own like I used to all the time. I think that maybe that is why I am not losing weight. I needed to change things up and do something different. I was on the Precor EFX which is my all time favorite piece of machinery. It is such a great workout and you burn calories like crazy. It is all leg work which is my problem area so I feel good on there. I also lifted weights. Something I was doing very regularly when my husband was working out with me. He taught me which machines were good for me for what I wanted to do, the amount of weight to lift for the goals I was setting and how many reps and sets to do. He was like my own personal trainer and a big reason why the weight started to really come off. So, I decided to go back to that routine for today.
I stepped on the scale and holy mackeral! I finally lost some weight! I am down 1.4lbs!! I may have stepped off the plateau that I was stuck on!!
Today is a very good day. Now I just hope that Old Navy has the tank top I bought in a medium. I bought a small and it is too tight. Chuck told me to just keep it so it is a goal of mine to wear it and have it not be tight but I’d rather just exchange it because I want to wear it when I go to power yoga! It is a tank that pulls the moisture away from you so it would be a big help in that class. Plus, it says “Peace, Love and Yoga” I love it!!
I have a few errands to run today and just as my luck is running today, Chuckie is going to his friend’s house so I am down to 2 kids and Jada might be staying with their Gramma so I might be down to 1 kid!!
I don’t know if this day can get any better!

Sounds like a great day! Congratulations!

Old Navy clothes are weird. I mostly wear small. Yes, I somehow can get away with a small. Hehe…
I’m surprised that small is too tight! Those workout clothes are supposed to be tight by the way…But I usually buy medium in those, too. :p

Yay on the job! That is really is fantastic. Also yay on breaking the plateau! I think I am currently stuck at one…need to make it a real goal to start exercising more, I think.
