Set Me Free

Today I’m off to get my Criminal Record check for work.  It’s a requirement for the assistant manager position.  I’m not sure how it’ll work with my married name.  Or if I go by my maiden name.  Maybe I should bring my Marriage license along… *sigh* this is confusing!

As of today it’s been one month since I started eating healthier.  As of  Sunday I have lost 15lbs!!  That is a little bit more than you’re supposed to loose in a month, but only by 3lbs.  So that’s not too bad!  I’ve noticed a bit of  a difference in my clothes, which is fascinating.  You know that pair of jeans that you bought so long ago and they where a bit tight and you figured they’d loosen up once you wore them?  You know the ones.. where you have to lie down on the bed and suck in to do them up?  Well I don’t have to lie down and suck in to pull them on!  They’re still a bit tight, but I don’t have to dance around the bedroom any more to get them on!

Oh! Sarah came down this weekend!  She came down and (attempted..) to surprise me at home or work, but I was at my moms.  At first I was stressed (boy do I stress out easily!).  Why?  All of a sudden someone wanted to come over, hang out.  I had no warning.  No time to clean, no time to plan what I was going to do with my laundry, etc.  I’m not sure when I became this way, but once I have something planned in my head I get either stressed/pissed off when something changes it.  So I had my little mental hissy fit of being thrown into something that I hadn’t planned, then I got over myself!  (Don’t worry Sarah, I’m SO glad you came down!!)  It was great to hang out with all the girls like old times.  Actually it was better than old times because there was signifcantly less bitchiness/bitching and more carefree fun!  ( *gasp* are we growing up?!)  Sure my apartment still holds the wrath of a bunch of young women (I’m finding remnants of our midnight nachos everywhere!) but it was fun!

A month or two ago I would have been VERY stressed that people where coming over and I had less than a days notice.  (Don’t ask me why things like that stress me out, I have no idea).  I would have been bitchy all day until they got there, then I would have fun.  But not this time.  I think taking control of my diet, and taking control of my mind when it comes to food is helping me take mental control in other areas of my life.  I still feel so happy to know that out of all the things I can’t control, I can control my diet.  Strange no?

Anywhoo, I have to actually get ready for work!  As hope said in her blog, I get to work!
