Hello LHers!
I've been MIA from here for WAY TOO LONG. I think i last posted in October after my France trip...
Fast-foward to 2008. The last 6 months have been a whirlwind for me. I was in serious job-hunting mode after the new year, and landed a great gig! I started my new job in March and have been in training mode. I think i'm starting to "get it".
A couple of cool things about my new job- I'm no longer a road warrior. I perhaps travel 1x a month- quite a shift from 4x a month at my old gig. AND, our new offices (we moved in late May) are in a office/retail center that includes a 24hr Fitness location! I've begun working out again, although not regularly until just this week. I went 4 times, which is HUGE for me. Yep, it's a drag to get up early (6a)- but it's not that much different that when i used to awake for my old job (6:30a). This is because i no longer have an hour+ commute! Yep, the other cool thing about my new job. I now have a 20 minute commute.
Anyway, I'm back on here because I do want to work on once again incorporating exersise and healthy eating into my lifestyle. I have about 25lbs to lose (the same as before), and am taking it 5 lbs at a time. Baby steps!
I have no excuses now because of the job, but I do need encouragement. That's what I LOVE about this forum. Ya'll are such an inspiration, and I hope to contribute and give back to the group.
A special shout-out to Marcy for reaching your goal. Way to go!
