Good morning Friends! It's photo Friday! Let's see everyone's shining faces on today's thread!

Yesterday I had a pretty funny thing happen. I went to a job interview, and it was just a 1:1 conversation with the Executive Direcor, so I was expecting to take only 45 minutes to a hour. Nope I was there for over an hour and a half! And I SWEAR I never talked! Haha, this lady was so full of herself and her own accomplishments that she talked about herself the entire time! So bizarre. It think I am going to pass on that one if its offered to me.

QOTD: Let's have a current NSV Round Up! What non-scale victories are making you happy these days? The only one I can think of is just a general feeling of calm that I am interviewing for jobs at a "normal" weight. It's already a difficult process to go through and to have extra eyes on me, wondering if I can really do the job...it would just add another layer of stress that I am so glad doesn't exist.

Accountability: Great! In fact, I liked yesterday's menu so much that I made a few tweaks but basically copied it to today :)


My pictures today are of our baby kitties who turned 1 year old today! May the 4th be with them :)

Happy Birthday Fezzik & Inigo!

Morning all.. Yesterday find a dress was a success! I will post a picture after graduation.. Today is a work day which is ok because it is supposed to rain.

QOTD: I guess mine would be yesterday at the liquor store I was in New Hampshire so I was stocking up. I got carded and the guy who carded me told me I needed to get a new picture because I look nothing like the picture my face is much thinner.

Food for the day:

B: bacon and cheese stick

L: ham and cottage cheese

D: Don?t know I think my brother is cooking so something meaty from the grill




My pictures just me and some of my favorite things.

I love seeing how close the kitties are and the one in the sink cracks me up!

I spoke to one of my former team yesterday as I am going to be giving her a recommendation on a new job. She mentioned how difficult it is to interview these days. For this potential position she had to prepare a presentation on a previous project for them and used one of the projects accomplished when she worked for me. I hope she gets this job as it is perfect for her, the commute is short, and she was my best employee (and a super great person as well).

We have appointments essentially daily for the next couple of weeks. Retirement can be exhausting!

My picture is of the two doggies walking together yesterday. It is the first time Chiquita has wanted to take a walk since we got home over two weeks ago and she set the pace! When we got back they both ate all their dinners, then Chiquita went to bed and promptly fell sound asleep, snoring away.

L: Tuna salad with pickles and cottage cheese

D: Shrimp

S: 1/2 protein bar

Oops: I forgot the QOTD! My current NSV is that I still fit into last years clothes! It is a little weird for me to have stayed at the same size for this long. I keep feeling like I should be buying more (LOL).
