  “Good morning everyone: WOOHOO, I finally got the phone call late yesterday afternoon and I got the job :)  I don't know when I will be starting yet as the human resource branches in both departments have to collaborate to get the letters ready, but hopefully it shouldn't be too long.  I will be going in one day to meet my staff and get a crash training session with the woman that has been doing it for so many years.  I'm so excited and happy.  Just such a burden off my shoulders, woof. Thank you so much everyone for your prayers...you don't know how much I have appreciated your support during this time. Today, I was suppose to go golfing with a friend after breakfast, but not sure if that will happen as it is really not nice outside.  It isn't raining though, so we will see.  I am "working" from home 5 days a week now until I start my new job :)  Hope everyone has a great Friday!”

  “Hi girls: Before I went into the office, I wanted to let you know that I lost .5 lb. and I didn't get on that scale all week except for this morning.  It take up some precious time in my head, but I'm happy I stuck to it.  I'm also very happy with the results :)  Hope everyone is doing good!”

  “Good morning girls: I'm at home today.  I will be doing some elliptical and ST this morning, then I have my wax appointment.  The sun is shining so may relax this afternoon and take in some sun if it doesn't get too hot.  I walked over 7 miles yesterday, woohoo :) Hope everyone has a great day!”

  “Hi girls: As a note of interest, even though the scale number has gone up in the last month, my measurements have not gone up at all except for 1/4 inch on my thigh.  So I am definitely building muscle and redistributing my fat which is awesome :)  I will keep doing what I am doing, hee hee.”

  “Good morning everyone: Well, yesterday was a day of revelations.  My sister and my husband have been telling me that I am obsessing over the scale and they can't understand why.  I feel good, I look good, my clothes fit good.  I put on my pair of size 4 shorts yesterday which I had bought in March or April and I was scared because the scale had gone up in the last month.  Well, low and behold, the shorts fit perfectly with still some breathing room and I felt great.  So why do I obsess over the number on the scale and focus so much on how much I am eating?  I know that I am doing everything right and my body shows it.  I think I finally understand about the muscle and fat issue which my sister really tried to explain yesterday so that I can relate. As for my eating yesterday, well it was a bust, LOL.  We had my sister, brother-in-law and his mother over for a late lunch.  That was good except now my supper was not so good.  I ate over 2000 calories, didn't exercise at all yesterday and didn't get very many steps and not all my flights of stairs either.  So definitely a bust, but that's okay.  I'm allowed to take a day off and enjoy :) This morning I am at home and I'm going to go do some elliptical and my weights after breakfast.  Back to my usual routine.  I am working from the office on Tuesday and Thursday this week, so will definitely get good steps in those days :) Hope everyone has a great day and a great week!”

• snuglbunie posted Friday, Woohoo in the group Friday, Woohoo
  “Good morning girls: I am working from home today.  Going out for breakfast with a friend, then going to buy my passports again, grrrrrrr.  Then I will be doing my ST when I get home.  I'm so grateful to Taz for taking the time to figure things out with me and being my partner in this upping of calories.  I've put away the scale in another room and plan on getting on it only on Thursday mornings.  I will probably have withdrawals though, heehee. Hope everyone has a great Friday.  What are your plans for the weekend?”

  “Good morning all: Another beautiful sunny day here.  I'm still at home today as my interview is tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m.  I'm anxious cause I really want this one.  Today will be Zumba this morning, then laundry and sunshine for the rest of the day. I'm obsessing here about scale numbers and eating calories and menopause, grrrrrrr.  I keep on gaining even though I'm doing a lot of exercise I feel.  May be still eating too little, but I don't want to overeat either :(  I know my clothes are fitting better so I shouldn't worry, but I do.  I'm scared to put the weight back on, so when I see the scale going it up it freaks me out even though I'm healthy and look good. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!”
