It seems like it's been months since I had any good news with regard to weight loss or anything else for that matter. My weight has been staying the same and as y'all know I was feeling like I was at a dead end in my career.
Well, I lost a whole pound this week, even while traveling.
AND
I have an interview on Tuesday morning for the dream job I applied for months ago!
I'm freaking out of course about what to wear and if I'm good enough to go from a tiny company to a billion dollar company and a million other neurotic thoughts but that leads me to an important point.
My heart has been heavy since I heard the news about Jen's mom. I don't know them at all but I feel like I do and have had them all in my thoughts all week. I had written her a little note about how I lost my dad suddenly but still talk to him all the time. In fact, all weekend I was having "discussions" with him about my career since he was a well respected and successful business man. This phone call for this interview was proof to me that he is still there and looking out for me all the time. Jen, if you're reading this, I hope it helps to know that.
In the meantime, I'm going to work out every day before my interview. Even though I can't lose 100 pounds before I go, I know I will feel more confident. I'm definitely putting the Y on hold because if I get this job, I will work across the street from an awesome gym. That and saving 80 minutes of driving PER DAY! If I convert driving time to cardio time, I'll be at goal before I know it! :)
Sending positive vibes your way. Really hope you get this job. WTG on losing that pound this week!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your one pound loss and GOOD LUCK on your job interview. That's so exciting!!
ReplyDeleteYay for the interview - crossing my fingers and toes that you get the job!!!
ReplyDeleteWill be keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you good luck. You are the right person for the job, and I'll bet dollars to donuts (not real ones, tho') the interviewer will see that right away, too.

Well done on the pound down - at last the plateau is broken through!

I hope you get that job! One pound lost is just one less pound you have to lose.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I always looked at my journey to lose 150 pounds. One pound at a time. . .
Congratulations on both the interview and the loss! That's incredible.
