Before heading out in the pool, I hopped onto the scale to get a VERY nice surprise! I am down to 354.5. I was going back and fourth between 358 and 356 for the longest time. So it finally dropped and hopefully still dropping! I am so happy and proud that I am loosing. It is a great feeling when you see the scale say your loosing. I remember going on the scale at the doctors office back in January at 377. I was a very unhappy and depressed person. I am now better and dealing with it and I have a great support system and tools to help me.

I haven’t been to the gym in awhile with everything going on with my Mom. I am really nervous about leaving her alone. I fear that I will come home and see her dead on the floor. I know that is bad to be thinking, but it makes me very nervous. Maybe it will be a little bit better once she goes back to work. At least someone will be near her and I won’t have to worry. Of course I worry, but I know that shes not alone. I think once she goes back to work, I am going to set myself on a schedule and start following it. Along with the schedule, I also need to track everything involved with my weight loss such as what I am eating, what I am drinking and what work outs I am doing. I plan on bringing this with me when I see my trainer and my doctor so they can see what a fantastic job I am doing.

When I came home from the gym tonight, there was a message on the answering machine. I am SO glad I listened to it because I got a call back from one of the places I applied for last Sunday. It is actually a job that I want very badly. The position is a makeup artist. I feel I am very qualified for the position. I have over 6 years of experience, plus my personal experience of doing my own makeup and family and friends. So I am going to call the lady back tomorrow morning and hopefully schedule an interview. The awesome thing about it is that I get to wear a suit and heels to work everyday. Something I always dreamed about doing. I enjoyed working for home, but it tends to get lonely and boring at home. Plus paid blogging is not steady, unless your very lucky to find a website that is secure and doesn’t cut hours or hold on work. This is why I stopped doing paid blogging. I need steady work and income. Plain and simple.
