Thank you for the very quick responses thus far. I will get my "official" letter to sign once my drug test and background check come back (drug test results should be available Monday, if not Tuesday. Background check said 3-5 days when I looked at it about 2pm) so I won't say a word until I sign the official offer letter. I'm definitely not giving any kind of notice until I know I'm in this new job for sure and I certainly don't want to burn any bridges regardless.
The company I'm at is absolutely amazing but the offer is even better than what my current company could possibly give. If I didn't want to move to Texas so badly (for YEARS I've wanted to be in Texas, not just since BF moved -- that was just a motivation to try applying there again) and this offer wasn't THAT much better, I wouldn't be leaving because I love my job, the people I work with, and I have a pretty amazing boss. Definitely want to do right by them as much as I possibly can without screwing myself over. It's a fine line I'm walking right now between looking after myself and trying to be kind and courteous to them simultaneously. My coworker put her notice in today (as she leaves for her wedding/honeymoon on Tuesday) but she has a different boss/different department. She's in plant engineering, I'm a unicorn (I belong to the plant, but I report through central engineering so I kinda sorta report to 3 people, though only 1 is my "official" boss and the other 2 just assist my boss in performance monitoring). Hard to say what my boss' reaction would be...4 -

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 104 (round 36 for me ) I'm in for another round – keep plugging on! Thank you GrandmaJackie.
Female age 61 5' 4”
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
This round goal to just lose - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking & refrain from attacking the cookie jar and left over Christmas chocolates – plan is to put them in DH lunch box each day 'til they're gone!! - there are still residual bits hanging around hubby will have finished them by end of this week!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 135.2 – Only 3.14 miles walked, one reason for the increase & I did over indulge yesterday. Today Is a new day!
02/08 135.8 – sigh !! 9.66 miles walked yesterday. Calories exceeded by 306 – I hit the chocolate, must leave it alone!!
02/09 DNW – away from home helping our DD & SIL move house, DD had been readmitted to hospital following contracting an infection (sepsis) after giving birth to our delightful new grandson 2 weeks ago. Luckily, she reported her raised temperature to her midwife after 24 hours and so taken back into hospital, administered IV antibiotics until the sample of her blood was used to culture the bacteria to enable the lab to produce a personally tailored cocktail of antibiotics for her. She was again discharged yesterday and the spring in her step is returning. Thank goodness it was caught early. So she was encouraged to keep her feet up whilst the rest of us did the work!! We stayed in a local Travelodge, so no weigh in this am.
02/10 135.8 – only 1.94 miles walked yesterday . Need to get back at it today.
02/11 135.4 – 9.58 miles walked yesterday, a good day ; 887 calories under & all macros in green. It makes so much difference when I get my walking in !
02/12 135.4 – 10.06 miles walked yesterday, 592 calories in credit and all other macros in green.
02/13 135 – 8.52 miles walked – lunch out with 3DS, & stayed within calories helped by light evening meal,361 calories in credit, fat 12 over, all other macros in green.
02/14 133.8 – YES!!!!! 10.41 miles walked yesterday, 943 calories in credit from calories out, all other macros well in green.
02/ 134.4 – 9.55 mikes walked yesterday. 154 calories in credit, carbs 32 over, other macros in green.

@MomLarisa - Happy birthday, hope you have a wonderful day xx3

@CamandJarvis - I took early retirement a few years ago and had to give 4 months notice, I worked right up to the agreed date of finishing. In my 39 years experiance of working in the Civil Service unless there is reason to believe that the person handing in their notice has given any worry that they will **** up and leave a mess for colleagues to clear up or an embarrisment then the person is always allowed to work their notice. I am positvely sure that your boss will not only want you to work up to your end date but also work on a hand over plan too.
Also I, as others, I would urge you not to hand in your notice until you have the written offer, I have known people who have been left without a job when the verbal offer did not come to fruition. Employers expect prospective employees to have to work their notice. You also have those few days of holiday to help extend that 8-9 days to 14 days.
If you have a good relationship with your boss, you could even verbally tell him that there is a likelyhood of you handing in your notice on return from vacation, that will give hime the chance to make plans to start to replace you, I agree it's good to keep on his good side - you might need a good reference in the future, you never know. Hope I've helped. What ever you decide to do, I hope it goes well for you x.

Goal 121- half of my former self
Ultimate Goal- Maintain under 130
Goal every round is to get that average down by any number but seeing 145 would definitely make me do a happy dance (how many calories does that burn?)
R101 Average- 148.1
R102 Average- 147.0
R103 ——————— no average, bulk week
02/07- 148.2
02/08- 148.2

02/10- 149.6
02/11- 148.2
02/12- 146.6
02/13- 147.6
02/14- 145.8
02/15- 146.0- it’s starting to feel like I really am going to be attacking 145 next round. Lol sometimes I don’t want to say or type confidence in my loss, especially since I’ve entered the slow bouncy stage of my journey. It can make those high numbers so disappointing. But I am confident that my numbers will keep moving down no matter how many times I bounce up!!! So YAY, the last four days have been my longest lowest streak!!!!!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 145 - This was a little unexpected. I need to drink all the water today!
02/08 - 144 - OK!
02/09 - 145 - Up down up down. It's the weekend.
02/10 - 144.5 - Back to work, back to tracking.
02/11 - 144.5
02/12 - 145.5 - I have not been tracking. Work has been very stressful and I've turned to some of our tax season snacks. I posted breakfast in my diary this morning to try to keep me on track today.
02/13 - 144 - I tracked my calories and drank my water. I hope I can keep it up today.
02/14 - 143.5 - Finally below my starting weight this round. Now if I can hold it over the weekend...haha, I know better. It's OK though since I'm still trending lower.
02/15 - 144 - My husband decided he wanted to use his new indoor grill to make hamburgers last night and stopped at the store on the way home from work to pick up food like it was 4th of July. He was so excited to have summer food on Valentine's Day when it's 10F outside. We had so much fun it was worth the extra calories. I'll try to track better the rest of the weekend.

Round 104
Current weight: 200.4
Goal weight: 140
February goal: 190
10 day goal: Lose 2-3 lbs and keep sodium and sugar intake under control
Looking forward to more changes this round! I have adjusted goals since I didn’t meet all of goals in Round 103. Regardless, I am ready again for the journey.
Feb 7: 197.8 Wow! Didn’t expect that, although I finished up my period and had a good day keeping under sodium intake. I hope the rest of the challenge goes well!
Feb. 8: 199.1 Overindulged some chocolate! Thankfully, I am still in the 190s.
Feb. 9
Feb. 10: 199.9 Didn’t feel well the day before yesterday, so I didn’t weigh in. I think I need to up my water intake again.
Feb. 11: 198.5 Increasing my water intake has helped.
Feb. 12: 198.5
Feb. 13: 198.5
Feb. 14: 198.3 Not sure what is causing the stalemate, but I know for certain I am losing inches. I will have to go jean shopping soon!
Feb. 15: 198.5 ...I’m out of positive ways to feel about this...

Stuck to my calories in spite of a get together with home made scones. Yay!
2/8 - 178
Calories below target yesterday, and no late-night snacking. I did something to my back or hip (sharp pain over lower left back when I get up or down, or, you know, move). I can’t decide which is better for it, rest or a long walk. Ugh.
2/9 - 178
Pretty much stuck to calories, although I did sample the mocha buttercream frosting for a cake I made for a gathering today. Still in pain.
2/10 - 178.6
My bad. We had lunch at Fazoli’s so pasta and (just one!) bread stick, and I was hungry late so had a pb&j on Dave’s killer bread. So healthy but caloric. Oh well, this is life, and I have salmon and greens on line for lunch. My back is a little better, I think. New week — onward!
2/11 - 178
I’m surprised I’m back down. I had chocolate cake and some other caloric things yesterday to soothe my back. Sigh. Better choices today.
2/12 - 179
Ha, there it is, the Sunday splurge. It’s ok.

10F this morning. Brrrr. Happy Valentines Day! ❤️
2/15 - 179.2
That’s okay considering the Valentine lunch at Red Lobster with DH. And I mostly stuck to grilled salmon, broccoli, and salad, though I did have the triple threat chocolate brownie. 😜

02/07: 209.8 This downward spike was due to me not feeling well the day before.

02/15: 211.6 / Happy day after Valentines Day! I enjoyed the company while dining out last night, but not so much the food. I felt like I was just shoveling in the calories. I need to learn how to listen to my body.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 170.9 Boys went to bed an hour later than normal and I didn't have the motivation after to go to the gym unfortunately.
02/08 - 170.0 Gathered the motivation to go to the gym even after a long day of training at work. The scale messed around in the 169's before settling at 170 even. Finger's crossed I break into the 160's tomorrow!
02/09 - 170.6 Well, I let myself cheat a little too much yesterday. I'm surprised this is all the gain I had since yesterday. I'll probably see the consequences of last night on my scale tomorrow too ...
02/10 - 170.0 Awesome! No more self-sabotaging.
02/11 - 169.5 Finally broke into the 160's!!
02/12 - 169.8 Well, I self-sabotaged yesterday. Too much pizza at a Survivor lunch party. Thankful to still be in the 160's. I hope I can keep this for the rest of the round!t
02/13 - 170.2 Can't say I'm surprised. I need to work on my self-control.
02/14 - 170.2 Made good decisions yesterday! Going to keep it going today! Realllyyyy wanting to end this round in the 169's.
02/15 -168.9 Wow! I didn’t exptect this this morning. My SO got my favorite snacks for me for Valentine’s Day and I did not eat them all in one sitting as I would have previously! Stayed under my calorie goal and got a workout it. Let’s hope I can keep it off!

02/07 242.6. Feels good to be taking steps to address the weight issue instead of continuing to surrender to it. Logging food is a must this time. Decided I wasn't hungry at breakfast so with the exception of a splash of skim in my coffee I have bee 15 hours between meals. Time for lunch now! Will keep it "between the lines."
02/08 240.8, morning blood sugar 117. I'll take it. Logging food did indeed make me consider choices and alternatives as the day waxed late and I had fewer calories left in the budget. Weekends are ALWAYS a problem for me, though, so I need to keep my head in the game.
02/09 238.8 morning blood sugar 112. This surprises me, as I gave in and ate 4 slices of french bread with dinner. (Blue cheese and honey drizzle, my resistance was futile.) Needless to say, I hadn't prepared for this splurge so I was 300 calories over target. I have to remember that, for me, the end result of the day starts with what decisions I make at breakfast. I also have to remember that for whatever reason it takes my body two days to show the consequences of a bad eating day, so I can't get too happy with today until I see tomorrow.
02/10 239.8. more later.
02/11 239.9 blood sugar 99. Well the sugar says I ate okay yesterday, even if the scale is still protesting about the weekend. Stayed under 1300 calories yesterday. But I woke up hungry this morning so I am going to have to plan carefully to avoid temptations. I see lots of water in my future!
02/12 no weigh in. Very rough day / night, spent a lot of it at emergency room with Wyfe. She has some very weird stuff going on with her blood chemistry. PCP saw her yesterday and called an ambulance, potassium levels so high they were afraid her heart might stop beating on the way to hospital. Many hours and many tests later they concluded she is not in imminent danger and she was sent home with instructions to see a hematologist as soon as she can schedule it. Aging is not for sissies. Anyway, as it applies to me, I ate junk yesterday and when I got home I completely spazzed out with emotional eating. The scale and I were not on speaking terms this morning.
02/13 240.4. This is out of hand. No breakfast today. Lunch today was 280 calories. Tossed salad with dried cranberries added, lite dressing, 2 campari tomatoes, SF jello, banana.
02/14 240.2 blood sugar 97. Happy valentine's day, everyone! Happy Friday!
02/15 238.0, blood sugar 138. Sugar is due to coconut cake and chocolate covered strawberries, a valentine's tradition for us that's older than my diabetes. But with everything going on now I didn't want to "not do it just this year." I have to work Sunday, so today is my weekend to shop and do chores.

Will this be the round that I leave behind the 260s for good?
2/7 – 259.2 I almost used my bounce up from last round as an excuse to overeat yesterday since it was my husband’s birthday. Instead I stuck to the plan that he and I had made and instead of the bounce I thought would come I had a loss. I’m so happy and very proud of myself for sticking to my plan. Hopefully this is finally the last of the 60s and I’ll see new lows this round.
2/8 – 259.0 I had a great day yesterday. My husband and I went out to eat and I stayed well within my plan. Plus we sat at this tiny booth, which was very nice. After that I went to get my haircut at a local spa. The hair salon is on the second floor and with the help of my cane I climbed the stairs and wasn’t winded. Last we bought some girl scout cookies and so far, I haven’t had even a single one. Though it doesn’t hurt that my husband has hidden them from me.
2/9 – 256.4 I was not expecting that, but I will gleefully take it. I’m going to hope for no to minimal bounce up from my body going wait I wanted some of that water.
2/10 – 256.4 I’m glad I didn’t see a bounce up today. Hopefully downward will be the trend for the rest of the round. I did find the thin mints yesterday, but I kept myself to only two of them with my lunch. My very helpful husband discovered that they were left out of the cabinet and ate the rest of the sleeve for me. Apparently, he also ate all the lemon ups, and the tagalongs by himself just so that I couldn’t be tempted by them, or so he claims. On the plus side there are no more girl scout cookies left in the house to tempt me.
2/11 – 256.6 I had a high carb and sodium day yesterday so I’m glad the bounce is minimal. My husband was annoyed and puzzled that he was up this morning. I reminded him gently that cookies eaten for someone else still count.
2/12 – 255.8 I managed two outside walks yesterday, one of them with my son, but he got a little too cold, so we cut it short. I’ve come to really enjoy the walks I get outside, especially the ones with my husband, they have been one of the biggest nsvs of my weight loss. I cannot wait for the weather to be nice enough for me to be outside nearly daily.
2/13 – 255.8 Apparently the pattern of this round is drop hold, drop hold. Still better than gains though.
2/14 – 257.0 One word, pizza. It’s okay though I knew this whole weekend would be odd and my weight would bounce around. Today I’m baking cookies with the kids and have a sensible dinner out planned. I just have to stay on plan and I should see the water start to go after the weekend.
2/15 – 258.2 I had a nice Valentines day, my husband got me roses and a necklace. I made cookies with the kids and stayed mostly on plan with those. Dinner was in plan, but the sodium in what I had was very high as was the carbs. I’ll see a downturn either tomorrow if I’m lucky or early next round.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/7: 147.6 (+.6): Going to try to focus on macros and leaving calories in the bank. 😎
2/8: 147.0 (-.6): This will change. I ate well but had my weekend cocktails. My dang right hip is not improving and after running very slowly for 3 miles, limped the rest of the day. I’m sure it’s a temp injury but finally decided to deal with it – going to Airrosti on Monday. In the meantime, I will walk, do my strength circuit, cycle, row…..whatever to keep burning. Weekends are tough for me 😏
2/9: 147.2 (+.2) Walked 7 miles. Hello advil. 🙄
2/10: 146.4 (-.8) Think this is just eating under my cals. Had a very lazy day after my long walk – low energy. Hoping to work through hip issues and get back to my normal exercise regime. 😎
2/11: 146.6 (+.2) It’s going to be a non normal week as I work through my hip injury. Went to Airrosti – painful deep tissue work, but hope it will break up the tightness and get me back on the trail sooner. So I can’t run till this weekend. I will just compensate in the gym and try to eat a little less.🤐
2/12: 145.8 (-.8) Surprised I am down. Didn’t eat terrible yesterday but it wasn’t great – relied on protein drinks (plant based) to get my protein. I am not doing great at the macro tracking. Just trying to focus on calories and exercise. But the macros is where your food choices come home to roost. I need to get back into cooking. 🙄
2/13: 144.8 (-1.0) Hahaha….nice number but its just that. A number. I chalk it up to not planning well and not eating much after my first meal at noon because I had to leave for a cooking class at 4 pm, which lasted from 6-9 pm. I had planned to bring a protein drink and bar but forgot them. So I ate late when I got home, some chicken, olives. I was well under my daily calorie needs. But this is not a good thing as I am in the corner of, eat what you your body needs after a workout to build muscle. The class was fun – Truffles!!! Picture to follow….🥰
2/14: 145.0 (+.2) Here comes the creep….But that’s cool. Need to eat good food and keep moving, and I will get there. And I am working on strength so I expect to have ups and downs due to changes in body fat and lean muscle, ultimately. Tonight, DH is making me dinner so I will chillax and enjoy! Happy Valentines Day to all – Love your selves for caring about your health, physical and mental!🥰💋💟
2/15: 145.0 (0) This will change – big meal last night and out the next 2 nights. I will try to make good choices and bank breakfast and lunch. But damn….those truffles I made were so good!!!!
