JOB. FOUND.

So, I thought the stress eating would get better after finally landing a job, but alas, once you overeat, your body wants that much everyday...

It doesn't help that the much awaited job is serving. Yes, food. In a restaurant. At least the main fare is seafood, which can be healthy if you bypass all the melted butter and creamy sauces.

I weighed myself. Even though I swore I wouldn't. And what did I discover? I'm a master at maintaining. It's not good enough for me, though. All this walking I've been doing should be helping more, except I've been eating enough for two.

So plan for this week. Start job, buy groceries. Take at least three bike rides, long ones, and get up earlier!

Unfortunately, my job will not help the awful sleep schedule I've grown accustomed to since school let out. I stand to start work around eleven and get off around ten. We'll see how that goes.

I have, however, bought some new beautiful clothes. Or my mother bought me some new, beautiful clothes I should say. Leave it to Momma to get me something nice when I'm down and out. Being home in Lexington for a week was so great. My little brother graduated from college (I'm old!) and I got to hang with my dog. Ugh, Kentucky in the summer, it's almost a crime to miss it.

I hope the beginnings of summer find everyone well.

I'm back. Again.

Ok, now it's really summer and I don't have to stress about making short films for a couple sweet sweet months. Please, do not get me wrong, I love what I do, but making an extra film over Christmas means I have not had a break since SEPTEMBER. Much appreciated, much anticipated break.

So, since I'm not back to school until September I can focus on myself for a short period of time and hope that some good habits trickle into the fall and beyond.

My problem has never been not knowing what to do or where to start, my problem is STARTING. Luckily, today was productive: I'm looking for a job and walked for an effective three hours around the Boston area. It was warm, but I trucked through, and I think I'll sleep very well tonight. Last on my errands today was Whole Foods, where I managed to only spend about $40 and got a week's worth of healthy, digestive system healing food. Yum.

The last three weeks of beer, fried food and take out have done a number on my body and most days I hurt before I get out of bed. Tomorrow I have vowed to find my bicycle tire pump and get those bad boys into shape for riding. Looking for a job tomorrow will be so much more fun on wheels...

Another topic, did any of you know about this website http://www.uspharmd.com/blog/2008/top-100-weight-loss-blogs/ posting a top 100 weight loss blog list and including people without telling them? I randomly googled "weight loss" blogs to find some old haunts and, I'm not going to lie, see if FAT BRIDESMAID had made the first page yet (I think she's genius.. although she might read this, I think you're genius girl!) and what do I find? The first hit is this top 100 list and I'm on it?! I mean, I think I'm a decent writer, don't get me wrong, but I hadn't updated since last March when this was posted and no one ever informed me the list existed. I think it explains the trickle of hits which kept coming even in my absence.

Anywho, much more time to blog. I might actually keep a regular blog, we'll see.

Happy summer!
