Tired of the Solitude

I need a job. I really do. I need some social interaction. I am in the house WAY too much. When I scour the internet for jobs to apply to this week, I'm going way beyond the Accounting positions. I am now making myself available to take out trash and clean toilets. Anything to get back to a normal routine. I am desperate. I walked 6 miles at the park today. I did 2 this morning, and went back and did 4 more this evening. My one goal this week is to be able to drag myself out of the house 2x a day, every day this week, and walk 6 miles each day. We'll see if I make it. Onward.

Back on Track

After 4 days of chaos with the moving, unpacking, bad eating and lack of cardio, I'm finally back on track. I stayed within my calorie limit of 1500 calories today, and I drove myself to the park to walk the 2 mile trail. I had been walking between 2.75-3 miles a day as of last week so I'm not where I was yet, but it's a start. I'm looking forward to going back tomorrow.

Here's a frustrating little tidbit of news....Mother Nature paid me a visit this morning. She couldn't have picked a worse week, I swear. I hate her, lol. The weigh-in is going to suck, I'm sure, but the following week will look much better. I'm sure of that, too. I'm plugging along now, getting back in the groove, and I'm looking forward to feeling better soon.

I've had another long day....doing laundry, going to the park, shopping for some necessities, cooking all 3 meals again (finally!), visiting with Dwayne and playing with the puppy. I've got a job fair to go to this Thursday. For all of you praying folks, send one up for me that it will produce a decent-paying job for me and I can get back to work! This unemployment check is a joke. And I miss working.....I can't believe I just said that. A little time off is always nice, if you can handle the stress of very little money....but 6 months worth will wear on your nerves. It's gotten ridiculous and I need to go back to work and feel productive again.

Headed to bed for some much needed rest. I still haven't found that paper that has my quotes listed on it, but as soon as I do, I'll start putting up the daily quotes again. Sleep tight everyone...with dreams of goal weights dancing in your heads. :)
