I still can't quite believe that exactly 14 days from now will be my last day on the job. I keep thinking it's a dream and I'm going to wake up at some point. But it's real. After almost two years of applying and going on interviews and not getting any response, I guess I had kind of given up hope of ever getting a new job.
There isn't much going on right now besides the job change. I've lost 7 pounds since I started weight watchers. It should be more (there have been quite a few weeks of gaining and losing the same two pounds), but I feel like I'm back on track. Got on the scale this morning and lost 2.2 pounds this week. About 3 more to lose before I hit my first mini-goal.
I've been working out more which is great, but I am so tired now! I don't want to get up in the morning if I worked out the night before. I went to a yoga class yesterday at Railroad Park. This park is two blocks away from where I work. You can see my work building from the park. They have free fitness classes at 6:00 pm every weekday during the summer. I'm trying to make the yoga class a habit. Last night's was pretty brutal, mainly because I have no muscle tone left. I used to be in amazing shape in high school. I took dance for about 15 years so I took being in shape for granted. I didn't have to work at it. I just went to dance class four or five days a week after school and it was fun. My core is gone. What little strength I had in my arms is gone. My legs were always the strongest and I've retained some of that, so that's good, but I was still sore all over this morning when I woke up.
Next week is going to be busy. I'm helping with VBS Mon-Wed which means I'm going to have to get up at 4:30 those mornings to workout before I go to work. Thursday night is yoga, and then Friday we're going out to dinner with friends. I have a feeling I'm going to be exhausted by Friday night.

You know, I wish that someone would have told me that I was in the best shape I'll ever be in when I was in high school. I mean, when else in life do you get to work out for two hours every day? High School sports were awesome, and I really was in pretty stellar shape then, but had no idea.
I know it is a matter of making it a priority, but it is so hard to add exercise into my daily schedule these days.
Great job to you for making it happen!
Great job!!! I admire your dedication, getting up at 4:30 to workout, then volunteering to help with VBS.
Continued best wishes!
