This job is getting in the way of my blogging life

All good things must come to an end and my return to work was like running full speed ahead into a brick wall.  I took photos of my office (and the associated piles of work) but I'm too tired to post them ... imagine your desk, work table and credenza covered with stacks of paper all staggered so more can fit on the space.

My new boss started on Monday as well.  No Comment. I'm no fan of my current place of employment but they are getting ripped off with her.  I came home, updated my resume (some more) and went to the pool.

I can tell I have a little restriction but need more asap.  I've been eating half of a salad or half of an omlette, hash browns and toast and then bringing the other half home for dinner.  A huge improvement over pre-band but I am definitely eating !!  I'm stressed and hungry between meals (stomach growls) but all I've grabbed is a low fat moz stick. 

There's talk of layoffs which probably should have happened months ago (there was a batch earlier in the year).  

Batting zero with finding a pool that fits my life (the one where I'm gone 11-12 hours each day) and is not expensive.  But I'll find something.

If this post sounds 'down' .. I am down ... I am feeling beat down.  A total of 32 pounds thinner (I'm afraid of the scale tomorrow) but definitely beat down.

  1. Aw, {{{{{Cece}}}}} huge hugs coming your way. It sucks SO hardcore when your work life is hell - and I'm so sorry about that. I totally feel you on the lack of restriction. I'm going for my second fill next Friday, and I can't wait. DEF can eat more than I should. I'm proud of you for doing the best you can - I guess this is why they call it bandster hell! I will keep my fingers crossed that your job improves, and a magical pool that is open and empty exactly when you need. Walking along next to you, date twin, and sending you a hug. xoxo J

  5. Oh CeCe. I am so sorry that you feel down. I do, however, have every confidence in you that you will get it all pulled together and come out of this even stronger.
    I am sorry that work is bringing you down. It is an adjustment going back. I hope you find something that fits better for you soon.

  6. We all like to think that when we lose weight, all the other things in our lives will magically get better. Unfortunately...it's just not so. I'm sorry the work situatin sucks...mine does too so I feel your pain. Get the resume up to date and see what else is out there. Good luck!
