    Someone let me know that the job interview I have Thursday would be an easy job for me except that I would have the same manager that I have now and therefore is probably not a good idea - I will ask the woman interviewing to see if it is worth our time to continue the conversation. Bummer as I could do that job.

    Other job - different manager/Director under same umbrella, do not have an interview yet, so dont know. Many people have moved within the department, so that is not unusual. Feel like up a creek - but will keep trying. Luckily so far I have not binged on high calorie /high fat food.

    I may just be knocking on the wrong doors.

    Wishing all a good night.

    Week two of working out again at a gym, watching what I eat...mostly anyways
    . It wasn't as hard to get back into it as I thought it would be. Slowly working with weights again, light weight with just three sets. I forgot how much I liked cardio endorphins! I have to keep reminding myself to take baby steps.

    Hello!
    Suzu - wedding plans going ok. There is not a lot on my plate as venue is at the future in laws farm and that is 5 hours away. So I have to ensure me, my DH and my son are ready and have everything. Take dog to babysitter and drive. The logistics of all that are stressful enough. But it will be good. The grooms parents(owners of the farm) on the other hand - I cannot even imagine!

    Waves to all!

    So frustrating when you know that you do a lot of extra walking, only to find out that your step counter counted 0 steps that day! Happens so often....I need a FitBit....

    Do you guys follow your calorie count? Or do you focus a lot on the nutrients and macros too??

    I’m usually on point or close to my macros, while being at least 300-400 under my target calorie count. But some of my nutrients are a little off.

    Like today I two eggs and it sent my cholesterol nutrients for the day off the charts 🤦🏼‍♀️

    Tips, suggestions, friends for motivation welcome!

    Sleep will not be a problem tonight- at least I hope not.

    Interview went well, she is trying to get my regular salary. I told her of my concern with Manager and that I have an interview for another position (turns out its tomorrow after work- so Miss T will be crossing her legs....). I told her I wanted to be up front so that she didnt hear about it after the interview.

    Will have to wait and see, which is always the hard part.

    Wishing all a good night.

    Hi @stephaniehricak - welcome to the group! Right now I'm struggling just to keep up with logging every day. Did so religiously for a long, long time, but life happens. This is a great and supportive crew.

    Sara - good luck tomorrow!! I really hope you get out of your current situation.

    Waves to all - It's FRIDAY EVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    FRIDAY

    Good morning, TGIF

    Suzu - you are up early. Thank you for the Snoopy Dance. I cant beat that one, so it will amuse us today.

    Wish I slept better, my loud neighbor again. He got a lease renewal on his door - I can only hope they increased his rent so he moves.

    After work is another interview, another sub-department. Dont know a lot about what the work entails, but we shall see.

    I am now wondering if because I 'whistle blew' on my Sup that the Manager cannot stop me from taking the job I interviewed for yesterday - it is not in the department as they requested. Manager would remain the same if yesterday's job was offered - if she said anything negative would that be retaliation? Not familiar with this stuff. I will just have to wait and see.

    With any luck coworker and I will go shoe/thrift store/consignment shopping Sunday. Have a number of items for a clothing swap Monday so many hangers available for "new" clothing.

    Wasnt thinking essay here. Lurking from work.

    Sara - I may be confused, but I'm understanding that one of these many job possibilities is with your current company and would involve an already-known-to-be-a-problem person you would report to?

    If I have this correctly, I see red flags bigtime, and I think that you should avoid this position.

    You deserve a fresh start without any baggage and past problems.

    LOVE the snoopy dance. Sweltering here today. Not much in the mood for dancing. But I have inside work, so I dare not complain. My DH and son are in construction. Both started super early this am, so hopefully home before horrid heat.
    Sara - have fun thrifting. and good luck on interview!
    Dawn - I really like my fitbit zip for steps. Clips on pants or in pocket and is easy to have on/wear. With my work health incentive program I did just upgrade to a Garmin Vivioactive 3 watch. Gives me some smart watch capabilities. I don't wear things on my wrist so I am adjusting to that. But it is fun watching my heart rate and stress levels. And found out I don't get much deep sleep last night. So it is very new to me. We will see how it goes. less expensive than an apple watch or even a fitbit with the same features. So I went with the Garmin. hoping GPS will be able to help if I get lost hiking :smiley:
    Stephanie- welcome
    Waves to all. Lurking.
