Mind and Body
So I turned down a job today. I really am not sure how I feel about it. I really want out of the office I am in, but am I willing to do just about anything to get out? D says that I had already made up my mind not to take the job; I just hadn’t convinced myself of that yet. D also said some really nice things about me that I guess could have been taken the wrong way, but they were actually really nice and true.
People have been noticing my weight loss lately. I don’t think it is the loss really, but more that I have replaced some of my clothes with the new right size and so everything is not just hanging on me anymore. Went shopping last week for a couple of things and ended up finding two suit jackets for work. Nice ones too. The first was for $20 and the second for $25 and they were worth $100 and $150 respectively. I rock! (Course that also goes to show the mark up on clothes.) But I am happy to have clothes that actually fit. And it is nice to hear that I look like I am losing weight.
My Pops is doing well on his diet. He has lost 80 pounds in 14 weeks on Dr. Bernsteins’. I am very proud of him, even though I know that a) the diet is NOT for me and b) as soon as he hits his goal weight, he is going to become that most dreaded type of people, the ex-overweight person. I will get the looks as I delve into the perogies and such at Christmas and I will ignore him, especially knowing that due to my eating habits I tend to lose weight at Christmas. But the day will come when he suggests that I lose more. And I will smile and nod and completely ignore him. I am doing things my way and I am happy with that. I am educating myself and changing my habits in a controlled and not drastic way. I will be what I want to be when I am.
Somehow I hurt myself again which is very frustrating. I know it is partly from weeding on Monday and I am thinking that Tuesday didn’t help as I sat on my arse for most of the day, but still, it is Friday and the back of my right thigh STILL aches. And it is amazing what movements cause the back muscle to hurt. Some things are obvious, but sometimes, I move just so and it’s like... instant pain. Ack! It hurts less today that Tuesday, so I am sure it is getting better.
Otherwise, there is nothing really new. We have a new toy in the house that amuses us. And I am doing the occasional puzzle to keep my mind sharp. And reading like crazy. Mainly I am waiting for the energuide to come in so we can start doing some renos around the house. That will keep us busy.
Oh the exciting life we lead – no exciting drives in and out of the mountains, no new baby to show us the wonder of the world, no new personal care stories to amuse you with. Things are good. I am sure in a couple of weeks I will be gushing about the upcoming tv season and the Heroes season 1 dvd, but til then, life continues. C’est la vie.
