118.5: Back To Work

So, I am down another 1/2 pound today which is definitely a good thing.  And guess what I had for dinner last night?  Hubby and I made what is basically deep dish pizza.  We bought a crust and put it in a cast iron pan, filled it with tons of yummy veggies, pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese.  It was so good!  I ate a pbj for breakfast, pizza for dinner and some assorted candies in between.  We have tons of left over candy because we only got about 5 sets of trick or treaters.  I would like to get back down to 116.  As long as my body doesn't rebel as it's done in the past I should be able to do it.  Ideally I had my fill of pigging out while on vacation and can stay on track with portion control dining at home and out.  As far as exercise.....we'll just have to see how that goes.  My motivation on that front is typically pretty low.

I have tons of pics of me in a bikini on vacation.  Boy oh boy do I scrutinize those pics.  I still can't figure out if I look thin or not.  It's so hard to really see what I look like.  I am so biased and critical that I really can't ever figure it out.

I didn't expect to come home to such warm weather.  It was raining the day we left.  I'm back at work.  It wasn't so bad waking up.  The good thing is that I don't hate my job.  Before I used to feel like I was 1/2 dead by the time my vacation rolled around and it about killed me to go back to work.  It was like a part of me was dying.  I absolutely do not want to come back to work but since I have to I'm at least glad it's a place I like.  I am so incredibly grateful for that.  I actually started some real work on the new job today and it went well.  At times I feel like I'm in over my head and at others I feel like I'm getting the hang of things.  I still can't believe they picked me.  Two other candidates I was up against already know half the stuff that they are trying to teach me now and they picked me over them.  I am still amazingly awe struck by this and I want to live up to their high expectations of my capabilities.  I feel a bit of pressure but if I just do what I do then I am hoping that I can do well.

I got an extra $100 in my paycheck as a result of my promotion...while I was on vacation!  Nice!  I definitely need this as it seems that my tenant is not paying full rent and she is paying late and clogging toilets.  I still haven't heard back on why my latest check was so small or if I will have to evict the damn lady!  Sigh.
