Oxymoron
I'm down in the dumps even though I have some good news to report....
Weigh-in
I checked the scale and it looks like I lost about 1/2 of a pound since last weigh in. I knew that I wasn't doing that great with the eating, but I hadn't skimped on the exercise. So, I was hoping to see something better than 208.5 pounds. However, it does mean that my losing streak hasn't been compromised either :)
I ordered some additional fitness DVDs and they came in the mail yesterday. I got the Firm series of 3 DVDs and another Denise Austin cardio workout. I should be able to try them out this week.
Another good thing, I had a great workout on Tuesday. I ran for 24 minutes straight of the 40 minutes and still had some other running intervals. That felt great. Then last night, I didn't run straight through, but my intervals were the longest and at the fastest pace to date (4.5 MPH).
Work
Ugh, well I am back to work this morning and I really do hate it. I broke down last night a little and DH actually listened. Not to say that he never does, but it was different this time. Like he really understood. I am tired of being the breadwinner and the powerful executive. I want a break. I want to have real estate really take off so that I can leave this life behind. God, I hope I can make it work.
My company announced the promotion of some of the practice managers to VP and a new strategic executive leadership team. To which, of course, I was excluded. I have been a part of that group for years now and am feeling really left out. Yet, they pick people to 'get things done' and it is crap. These would not be the people you pick if you want to get things done. In fact, one of the new members had a baby a couple of days ago and the 90 day plan was to get this group to get a plan together. Hard to do when one of your most productive members is on maternity leave. They remind me of that commerical with the monkeys who run the office and there is one lone worker who knows what is going on (me, most of the time).
DH got word yesterday that his consulting position should become permanent in June or July so that will be great. He will get benefits back, better salary and then I can have some pressure relieved if I try to pursue real estate full time.
Family Visit
My sis and niece are still in town, but I have carted them off to the other sisters house in the area. We went to visit family in NJ over last weekend and they have been with me since Monday at my house. I have loved having a child in the house. It was great, therapeutic almost. But exausting too! They are leaving on Saturday, so we plan to go meet up with them for a farewell dinner tomorrow night. It is always tough to say goodbye.
