Rain, Rain, GO AWAY!

Well, it rained ALL DAY today. As if we hadn't gotten enough. There's quite a bit of minor flooding around here. Last night I finally started on a crocheting project. It's coming along quite nicely. I'll post pictures when it's done. I tried hard to stay motivated today and get things tidied up around the house. It didn't work well. I'm beginning to accept the fact that it's not going to be very clean for this weekend. Tomorrow, I will try to get some things done, but I need to get ready to go for a 3 hour drive to meet up with friends. I'm beyond excited for this weekend. My friend moved to Cali in December, and I haven't seen her since. I cannot wait! We're going out with her and some other old friends on Friday night, then Saturday we're heading back here and my parents are coming to spend the night. Sunday we're going to a Brewers game with my sister and some other people. I've never been to a game, so I'm pretty pumped. Hopefully with the hectic weekend, I don't get thrown off of my exercising too badly. When I end up in situations where I don't get to exercise, I sometimes tend to quit for months at a time. I know I can get back on track this time, though!

This is officially the best workout trend I've been on so far since gaining all the weight. I could see I had lost some weight in my arms, and I had taken measurements before, so I measured myself again. The only measurements I could remember off the top of my head were my stomach and my arms. I am proud to announce that I have lost 1 inch on both my arms and my stomach! Even Brian said he noticed when he had touched my arm that it was smaller. I was pretty excited! Another reason I am excited tonight is that I have always been bad at following plans. Right now the yoga I am doing every other night is a 6-week "Skinny Jeans Yoga" routine set. I am also proud to announce that I am officially onto weeks 3 and 4! I am beaming inside knowing I made it through a full 2 weeks. These next 2 weeks are a bit more intense. It starts out the same, but then it gets pretty tricky. I hope I can see some great improvements by the end! I know I will.

I also joined a new weight loss site. It's called "Calorie Count". I'm hoping in addition to blogging that will help me stay on track. I spent a little time at the forums posting and replying. I'm hoping to find some inspiration, motivation, and support there.

Oh, I almost forgot! I have an interview on Monday. I won't say where yet, but I'll just say that if I get the job I will hopefully have an easier time with my weight loss goals. I also applied for another job that sounded like it could work out perfectly for me. My fingers are crossed!

Until next time...
