Good Morning to One and All,

I did it!

I have started to change my eating again. I hope I can stick with it this time. I did have several starts ovewr the past few months and caved in.

Today so far: B. 1 Egg, 2 slices of very lean back bacon, (peameal rinsed) 1/3 of a tomato fried. 2 cups of hot tea with cream.

Feeling good so far! Plan to get my 45 minute walk in again today. Legs feel slightly uncomfortable from the muscle building but I'll take it as a positive step. Hope it has reved up my metabolic rate to fat burning.

Loretta, I know I need to step up the WATER intake too. Thanks for the reminder.

Not too many chores today but a few work related ones.

Wishing you all a great start to the weekend...how many shopping days to Christmas?

Gotta gather the card writing materials and make a start too.

Mornin' y'all,

I made it back home last night without any problems. The training went well, out of the battery of tests on the materials we had, I only missed 2 questions on 1 test, the rest were 100%, so I am a full fledged Benefits Counsellor now. BTW, I mentally kicked myself on the 2 ??s for making a stupid mistake *sigh*. Oh well, I can't be perfect! At least now when I go into the office I'll be able to DO something!

I'll have to check and see what all has happened this week, so more later........

Susan, stay with it girl! While I was gone I used the hotel fitness room and did weights for my exercise. If I can do THAT, y'all can do ANYTHING!!!

CONGRATULATIONS GINNY!!!!! BENEFITS COUNSELER!!!!!
What a very unique job, helping people get their plans together. I know that your help will be appreciated. Hope that work is not too stressful for you. I didn't realize that you had to go away from home for your training. I though it was an on the job situation. Bet the pups and Steve sure missed you.
Hope everything there is in working order.

CONGRATULATIONS SUSUN!!!!!!! YOU ARE REALLY ON A ROLL NOW!!!!!
Welcome back to the fold. Sounds like your plan will work. Sometimes, I think we all tend to stray somewhat. But knowing what is good for us, we get back at it.

We have an afternoon wedding to attend today at church, not a close friend though, but their daughter who does most of the singing at our church.

Have a great weekend all. Be happy.

if you need some or even if you don't.

Me again!

Just wanted to report that I have just finished a 1 hour walk!

The first one hour in a long time.

It was raining when I left, but I just buttoned my coat and put my hood up, then the SUN came out for more than half of my walk and I got some added SUNlight to pick up those spirits.

Also, I have just downed 8ozs of Water and I am sipping on the other 8. Hope to get 64ozs in before bedtime.

Feeling good,

and do hope I can stick with it.

WTG GINNY! CONGRATULATIONS! on completing the training. I too, did not realise that you had to go away to train. I guess it helps you focus more on the material.
Betcha got lots of kisses, licks and tail thumping on your return from all that missed ya!

Loretta,
Enjoy that wedding today...I think you can when you are on the outside looking in.
Thanks for all the encouragement... I sure need reminders like that.
When do you see Adam Paul again?

He is adorable!

I am babysitting Ella at 4p.m. tomorrow here for a few hours while they attend a house party. As I say, it is so much easier at my place and with DH around to help here and there.

Wavin to the rest of our gang!

Hi gang,

Not much going on here but the SUN decided to show itself for a couple of hours today. My gosh, I had almost forgotten what it looked like.

Took myself to see little Nick and his dad today and FORGOT MY CAMERA

Nick got a hair cut and looks like a little man now and not a baby. Geezzz, they grow up too fast. His mom and the two girls drove down to Manhattan to shop, go to a museum and spend a nice night and will drive home tomorrow night. LOL those two little girls just LOVE room service.

[/b]WELCOME BACK GINNY AND A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS

So how does it feel to be a certified benefits counselor? You will do a fine job.

Yeah it's nice to be able to find a hotel with a gym and/or pool to take advantage of. Good for you.

Susan, congratulations for getting back on plan and walking. You will be just fine. You just have to want it bad enough.

Loretta, Hope you had a good time at the wedding.
Any rain in the forecast for you?

Waving to the rest of our gang.

I'm off to do run spy bot, ad aware and all the other maintenance stuff.

Later.

Hey y'all,

It's good to be home! Thanks everyone for the encouragement and congrats re my new job and training. It's really a big change for me, but it seems like it will work out well. I'll be finding out tomorrow just how much I'll be able to start off doing as it will be my first actual day on my regular shift. I really have no idea what they'll throw at me to start off. After a while, I'll have to go to Springdale Arkansas for Human Resources training as well, but I believe they will let me get settled in some before that happens. I'll have computer clearance for all the Benefits side now, and our open enrollment will be coming up soon. The gal that's training me has been doing benefits with the company for 9 years and really knows her stuff. I'll also be learning the benefits presentation that I'll be doing for the 2nd shifters soon, so that will be another thing I'll be able to help out with. For @ 6 months this gal has been doing it all and I think she's really ready to have some help. Anyways, with this training done, I can start being productive and see just how well this job does fit me. DH and the kids were REALLY happy to see me come home, Nitro had to give me a hug and kiss before I could say hi to ANYONE else!

Susan, glad to see you're pulling in the reins and getting back on track. Keep up this good work you've started. You know the drill, so now it's just mental discipline and we all know you can do it!

Loretta, congrats on the new DGS! Hope you enjoy the wedding this afternoon and the visiting afterwards.

Linda, we've had a few days of sun now, but it's taking longer for things in the gh to dry out and need watering. It's always an adjustment for me in the fall to NOT do as much with the plants. I always feel like I'm ignoring them, but too much care can be detrimental to them! How much of that rain did y'all get? I was watching quite a bit of that in the news when I was in NC, and was glad you're on a hill like you are! While I was at Wallyworld yesterday I picked up 2 5lb free weights and a stretchy-tube with handles for doing some exercises. I'll keep the weights at home and do some here, and will find a place to use the tube thingy (like surgical tubing with handles) at work on my lunch break. I'm concerned about the desk job making me soft!

Well gang, time for me to lurk a bit. The football game sucks (well, the Vikes suck this year!) so I sure hope the rest of my picks for the week do better. Hope all have a wonderful afternoon!
