Monday
Did my workout again this morning. Heavier weights all around. Lots of sweat. Damn scale was up one pound but I'm stronger than I was two weeks ago.
Then again, 'tis the week for water retention and hormonal fluctuations.
And to make life even cheerier, I started coming down with a sore throat and queasy stomach.
I managed to get 20 minutes on Jeannie's schedule today and told her that I wanted to apply for the Transportation job. She went "Aaaagggh!" and buried her head in her arms.
Which was both gratifying and dismaying.
I didn't expect that particular display, but other than that, she reacted the way I expected: she will be sad to lose me as an admin, but thinks this is a good move for me. She even told me that she recently told her husband that I'm overqualified for the job, and she's lucky she's had me as long as she has (one year as of June 14th, as an official employee). But it felt weird the rest of the afternoon. There's a tiny fault line in our relationship now, like an imperfection in a diamond.
To make this even more poignant, I had a lot of fun at the Sr Leadership Team meeting to plan our next All-Hands meeting. I made a significant suggestion that was adopted as a great idea, and I've volunteered to write the script for a skit. Imagine "I'm Just a Bill" for a cell phone moving through the system. But no music. I'm going to miss being part of that group, even though I'll be glad to be released from the headaches.
I keep having fantasies of telling Miss V that I'm not going to be an admin anymore.
Those are nice.
But we're still getting along well, so maybe that's part of the good karma contributing to my good fortune recently.
Not feeling good at all physically, so I'm off to an early bedtime.

So.. don't let the scale get you down. Notice how your clothes fit, or take measurements, or do body fat percentages...
And congrats on keeping on it! I've spent the last three years going to the gym, but not dieting, just eating healthy and in moderation if it's not. I've lost about a pound a month, only about 35 lbs, but I dropped from a 3x to an 18. Slow loss is permanant loss. :) Good luck!

It's my FAIR! picture. I just love it because it captures the FAIR! mood so well. This year, when I pulled it up, I noticed the weight difference pretty obviously.. It's from about four years ago.
