A Saturday Update

Happy Saturday!

Yesterday was a busy day for me. I had to go into the office all day, came home for a couple of minutes and headed out again with hubby. We didn’t get home until late last night. So I was literally gone all day. So that’s why there was no post last night.

I got a lot of compliments at work yesterday. Lots of “You’re getting so thin!” and “Your face! I can’t believe how different you look.” Someone actually said, “You have lost A LOT OF WEIGHT, you’re getting so thin!” in front of a group of about 15 new employees when I was being introduced to them. I was slightly embarrassed- but proud. lol. It’s good to get feedback like that. It makes me know that I AM getting somewhere. Plus, this is the first time anyone has ever said “thin” when they talked about me. I must be starting to take a little different shape and that’s a good feeling!

It’s been about 9 months since I started working from home. That’s time for a lot of change, both physically AND mentally. I really do feel like I am a different person since then. I am happier and more myself. I think that might take some people by surprise. I am honestly a happy, friendly, talkative and genuinely nice person- once I come out of my shell. I have never been good at making friends. I don’t know why? As embarrassing as it is, I just don’t know how to do it. I get a long with people, have great conversations and really hit it off with some people- but I don’t know how to actually be “friends” with them outside of the environment that I meet them in. I always feel like if I would be like, “hey we should hang out sometime” or invite someone to do something that they would think I’m weird. Self confidence issue? Maybe. But I have talked to people about maybe taking a fitness class together or something when we’re talking about how fun it would be to take a class, and they don’t really go any further with it, which makes me feel bad. So any advice for me? It is hard to find people with similar interests too. I guess I’m a nerd. lol

Moving on…

If you’ve been reading my blog for A LONG TIME, you would remember my struggles with the vending machine at work. They sell these cookies that are like homemade and so delicious but about 4 times the size of a regular cookie- and you get TWO of them. I used to struggle with those so much.

I packed my own snacks for work, I didn’t eat all of them- but they were there if I wanted them. I ate a good breakfast, very high in protein, before I left for work at about 5 AM and I honestly wasn’t HUNGRY until my lunch time. I did eat one clementine on my first break, had a grilled chicken wrap from Sonic for lunch with a cup of grapes, and a clementine Greek yogurt on my last break. On my last break, I was tired and feeling exhausted, and I have learned that when I feel that way I crave sugar. I looked at those vending machines- said “no way, it’s not worth it” to myself and left the room. Things have changed!

So I guess that’s all I really have to say. Just an update that I’m still here. Have a great weekend!
