Sleepy Thursday Roll Call

Hi all,

Yawwwwwn, I guess my body has had enough of the air mattress.  I can't seem to get comfortable.  Today, another day in the house.  I started knitting a new hat last night.  Felt good to be keeping my hands busy.  Today, no real plans except more job hunting.  Applied for a few of them yesterday.

Our stuff supposedly is available to be picked up any time now, but now we can't afford it.  So frustrating.  Well, they say patience is golden.  Anyway, what are  you up too?

The best thing about TOM is losing all the WW at the end! I'm just 1 pound away from my first mini goal weight! Almost there!

Yesterday was so busy, I think I'm going to take it easy today! We got into some of the wild fire smoke yesterday in New Bern. I hope it stays down there! I just hate when we have it here. I feel like we are stuck in the house when it's smokey outside. That stuff can't be safe for my little one to breath.

Are you open to working retail? Last year I worked a Christmas seasonal job at a Hallmark store from mid Sept to December. Now... I don't suggest working for Hallmark because the pay is very LOW but it was a job. If you are open to working a temp Christmas job Start Applying Now! I applied for that "Christmas" job in late August and started training Sept.! And the name of the game is Follow Up over and over! Good luck sweetie! I know how frustrating it is to look for work.

Thanks, I will look into it.

So sorry the 'stuff' issue is ongoing. I don't quite know how you deal with the stress!
I'm at work on my lunchbreak doing relaxing by reading posts on OH. I've lost another pound but my weight loss seems to have evened out at about 1-3 pounds a week lately. Much better than a stall, though. Tonight we work out at the Y. Last time I was able to reach a big goal for me: I swam 1/2 mile! It was so satisfying. I can't wait to try it again today.

Congrats Maggie on your even weight loss! That is no easy thing to do! How long did it take you to work up to 1/2 mile of swimming?? That is fantastic! How long does it take you to swim that? I love swimming, but I'm always worried I'm not getting enough of a cardio workout. What do you think??

Thanks! It took me along while to get up to 1/2 mile - probably over a month. I have the advantage of being one of those people who floats and the disadvanatge of bad knees and back so swimming was my best option. I actually started ou****er walking and then went to swimming. I look like a dork because I use my snorkel mask and snorkel becuase I don't breathe correctly if I swim without them. I think it is a good cardio workout but I also know that I wouldn't get myself to do anything else. Some cardio is better than no cardio, right? But go**** feels so good to slide through tha****er!
