OOOOohhhh luck luck luck your way.... though you won't need it. You have skills :bigsmile:

Terrific NSV!!! Isn't it a great feeling? :)

Thanks!! :) It is for a company that makes software for the insurance industry. My official title will be "Technical Account Manager". I will be working with their larger customers, mostly at the executive level (from what I understand), to connect them with the services they need.... from technical support to upgrades.…

Thanks!!! Quit chewing your nails ;) You got this! You are a strong, independent woman, who will AMAZE them with your beautiful and charming self! :) Take it like it's yours! :)

Well, my Wednesday wish already came true.... I got the job!!! YAY!! I am so incredibly excited. I took a huge risk and by golly, it paid off! :bigsmile: Sooooo I will make my Wednesday wish that each of you get your wishes. :flowerforyou: M0wM0w... it's your turn! Your dream job is waiting for you- - go grab it! :drinker:

AWESOME!!!! Way to go!!! :bigsmile: :drinker: :bigsmile: :drinker: I am SO happy for you! What a great NSV!

Did I miss it M0wM0w? I did a LOT of research on the internet. YouTube is a great resource for mock interviews. The Recruitment Guy on YouTube was awesome (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRecruitmentGuy?feature=watch) He has a TON of great advice. Just remember to be confident and don't be afraid to ask questions. You will…

Oh hon, I am so very sorry. ~Hugs~ and prayers.

John and all the rest of the new folks- WELCOME! You will find a kind and supportive group here. Truly the hidden gem of MFP. Kelley, I am praying for you, your grandmother, and your family. ~hugs~ MyMowMow- Thank you and good luck to you with the job interviews! I just completed what is hopefully the final interview for…

Today was a rollercoaster for me! Just when I was about to give up on the job- they called me for ANOTHER interview! I have had two phone interviews, one day where I went in there for interviews with 4 separate people, then a panel interview with the team... That was supposed to be the final, but they said out of 8…

Lori0510- I have been doing fruit that I can pop in my mouth lately... blueberries, raspberries, etc. There isn't much prep work, and they satisfy the sweet cravings. Baby carrots are also a long time favorite for me. If that is too boring, maybe a little hummus, pb, or cheese would be good. I like the laughing cow…

I have no shame, when it comes to bra straps. I mostly have colorful sports bras, that do show, but make me feel like a rock star. When I wear "Gertrude", my not so attractive, but very sturdy workout bra, I am usually walking fast, so nobody will have the time to be offended by the lovely shade of industrial bra beige,…

Ummm no squats for me just yet! :laugh: But give me a couple of months at Yoga... I may just give them a try after that! :happy:

Checking in! :bigsmile: I went to a Yoga class... and didn't die or fart, or collapse... I almost cried, but only because we were doing the last pose, laying on our backs (with stuff behind us) and spreading our arms out.. "expanding our hearts". My friend Becky, who is a Yoga instructor (so really didn't need to pay $7 to…

CathEsh- I am nervous about the balance thing with the yoga, as well. I have been told that the instructor will help me to modify poses which are too difficult. Thanks for your kind words about me and my kiddo. We are very close, so much so that I worry at times if I smother him. I just have to keep telling myself that it…

Happy Friday! Friday fitness... well, I called the Yoga place, so that's a good start. I'll be a little more pleased with myself, when I've actually attended :wink: BUT it's a start.

Robinsegg & Kelley, thanks for the feedback and advice on the meds. My BP was down today (YAY), so whatever I am doing- it's working!!! Such a major relief for me. Kelley- shopping OR gym? How about both? :wink: Celtic- I am sorry to hear about the Crohns. It must be hard. I wish I had some advice or knew how to be…

Howdy!!! Feeling much better today, I think I am going to take the bp med at night... see if that is easier on me. My doc said to take half and half, but I did the half this morning, and it drained me. Getting old is troublesome. Wednesday wish- My wish is for a call next week with a job offer... and for gelato to have…

Hi y'all! Happy Tuesday! Started a new blood pressure med and it's kind of draining me, but I wanted to let you all know that I am thinking of you! I made a commitment to myself to read and post every day and as always, you all inspire me to keep pushing forward. :) I want to respond to some personals, but am afraid I will…

Happy Monday! Checking in… So far, so good. Mostly healthy choices, and I have been sticking to my 10 minutes of walking each day. Started doing 10 each lifts with a 5lb kettle-ball. Nothing too strenuous, just going to start out slow. I have a final job interview with a software company I really really really want to work…

Thanks all, for the warm welcome! Robinsegg- I totally LOVE your profile picture! You look so happy :happy: Sounds like you are getting a lot of activity in as well (looking through past posts). Great job! You are so inspiring. CathEsh- Thank you! Ouch on the kneecap and foot! Pain has a nasty way of making us crave…

*Pokes head in shamefully* - I don't really need to lose 100 lbs anymore, and I'm kind of embarrassed for being away so long... I've forgiven myself, but am hoping y'all can forgive me as well. I miss your loving support and wisdom. Long story short- "The guy" = gone. The stressful job = kissed it goodbye with a smile on…

Hi y'all! Sorry I've been out again... this time... (men folk- cover your ears) - ovarian cysts. Worst. Pain. Ever. The doc says I have to deal with the pain for a few weeks, until it bursts. I'm pretty sure she hates me. :sad: Anyway... was thinking about y'all and thought I'd stop in. I'm not the most positive lately...…

I don't entirely understand all of the numbers... BUT "It looks like my diabetes is behind me." I understand! YAY- way to go! I am so happy for you. :)

drojen- I can't imagine how hard that was for you. Thank you for sharing your story. It really put things into perspective for me. Thank you all for your support, advice, and words of encouragement. :flowerforyou:

Robin and Desdemina- Thank you. This makes sense... taking control of what I have the power to control. Perhaps it will flow into other things. Robin I like the idea of getting rid of all of the food... but my son may object ;) I actually feel a lot better today. Last night- venting a little and releasing it. It helped. It…

Thanks GrandmaKay and Kelley - for the advice and support. I do have a counselor that I see- but she has been sick. I took a week from my night class (Math) but am back at it and I am pushing myself to move forward each day. I think that I will log- regardless of what I eat (as you suggested GmaKay) and write in my…

Toots- I am sending prayers for you and your husband. My heart goes out to you both. Stay strong and don't take a non-answer for an answer. Susan- Congratulations on the job! I am so happy for you. I have again, fallen off of the wagon. I am doing a lot of binge eating and some days not eating much at all. Yesterday, I had…

Thanks Lin! On the pepper spray--- I have a friend who is a distributor for just those types of things, but in pretty, girly colors! I am going to have a party on the 26th, where I can get discounts, depending on how much other people buy. I am really low on funds, since I have had to pay for so many things that this…

Thank you... So true about Math. It's not always easy to find the answer- but at least there is always a solution. :) great analogy Robin.
