Wow, it’s been a while since I posted.  Well a lot has happened in the last month and a half.  First of all, I was laid off from my job on May 15th after working for the company for 4.5 years.  It was tough at first, I was mad and sad all at the same time.  Even though I was looking for a job for the last month or so before getting laid off.  But for some reason it still hit me a bit hard.  I was then forced to find a new job.  When I was looking before that, there was something stopping me from finding one.  I think it was because I felt as though I would leave the company hanging so to speak if I left.  It all worked out great though, I told myself that I would find a job by the end of May and low and behold I had an interview on May 28th and was offered the job on May 29th, started June 1st.  I really enjoy my new job. There are plenty of new opportunities and learning with this new company.

On to another note.  June 2nd was my 6 month marker for quitting smoking!!!!!! YAY ME .  I am very proud of myself.  There is no going back now.  I hit a pretty stressful moment in my life with losing the job and I did not resort to smoking to ease that stress.

The weight thing has come to a halt for a short time, but I will be getting back to Aqua Fit within the month. I will start walking more often as well.  With my new job I have stopped going out for lunch.  My lunch break is an hour so I will start walking on my lunch break. I will try to make it a 1/2 hour walk each day when I can.

I will try an post at least twice a week from now on, but no promises.
