8.5 weeks and frustrated

Sep 24, 2010

It's been over a week and I haven't lost a single pound.  I've only lost 4 lbs in the past 22 days.  I have to watch more of what I eat and force myself to workout longer at the gym.  I'm not sure what is going on, but this doesn't seem to be working well enough for me.  I know I had a lot of rapid weighloss for a while, but now nothing.  I have to increase my gym time back up to 2 hrs.  I have been a little sluggish and onl been going for 1 hr and the results are obvious.  I hope this is nothing more than a stall and that the weight will come off again soon. 

I am having rouble going to the bathroom.  I am drinking prune juice and mixing in miralax and still nothing.  I have trouble eating solid foods.  Chicken hurts, I haven't tried red meat  yet.  Chili is ok, baked potatos work well.  Fish works very well.  I am going to have to watch my cravings and indulgences. 

On the work front, I am almost out of my current horrible job.  I have one pending job offer and another interview.  The companies are completely different in stle and products.  I'm not sure which would be better from a career standpoint.  I only have the one offer so far, but I haven't heard back yet with a definite answer.  I had to pass a physical and have a background check before the official offer can be made.  I'm hoping I passed he physical.  They wanted a release from my surgeon to be able to work.  The other job is just an interview with the compnay controller on Monday.  I told him I have the other offer and that I would have to know something soon.  I'm really screwed if I don't get either job.  I already gave my 2 weeks notice and they have hired a new girl to replace me.  I actually started to train her today.  I'm praying that everything works out well in the end. 

My ideal life is to meet someone that would be a great husband to me and a wonderful father to my son.  I would have a controller position within a medium to large company that provided a solid income for my family yet allowed for flexibility to spend time with my family as well.  I own my home and I recently finished school and finalized my divorce.  A new and good husband and a good stable job are the only two elements missing from my life.  I'm very greatful to God for everything that he has given me these past few years.  Leo and I are on our way.  Oh and I want to pass the CPA exam this year and lose the other 90lbs that I have to go.  Wish me luck!
