Topic: What's happening this fine Thursday?
Hi everyone!
Haven't posted in a while but do cruise through...here's what's happening in my neck of the woods...
I've headed back to jazzercise classes pretty faithfully the last few weeks. I love the class once I get there but man oh man...getting myself out the door is like pushing a rock uphill. What's up with that?
Food wise I find myself doing well unless I get bored or tired. So I am trying to pay good attention to how I feel. I am making a bean/cilantro dish today that should do the trick and let me have some dinners in the freezer. I also find that I fall into mindless eating in the evening, after work. So...recognizing that vulnerable point in the day, I should be keeping my hands busy with something else instead!
I am headed up to PA in a week or so and will be there for about 10 days. Plans have been crazy and have changed many times but now it looks like I may be able to get a little bit of plastics work done. I want to have my face and eyelids worked on. Yes, the TT would be nice but (1) I don't want to go through a major recovery period and (2) given the cost, I'd rather work on the neck and eyelids! I have to go for an updated consult at the doc's although I have seen him once before. I'll let you know what I find out!
The trip to PA is really all about getting our dog to FL. Mike and I will drive back with her and I will have my dog once again. She is getting old and I think she'll enjoy walks in the nice weather.
Lisa, I read your post about feeling disconnected at synagogue. I'm sorry you have felt that - especially during times when you have been going through a lot. It's a natural instinct to pull back...and yet that keeps us at an even further distance. I hope you are able to draw support from friends there.
OK everyone - what's going on with all of you?

Good morning everyone, it's nice to see I'm not the ONLY one up before dawn. It may be past 11:30am right now, but I'm usually up at 4, even on my days off. Today is one of my days off, but I had to make a trip to Newark, DE for some additional training (work).
Have you ever had a feeling something's not right, or plans may not work out the way they were supposed to? That's exactly what happened to me.
Yesterday I asked my supe if it (training) was still on for tomorrow and I was assured that everything was a go, and to be there at 8am. I was gonna leave at 6:30 for the 51 mile drive (according to Google Maps), but then I thought, "traffic on 95 will be murder if I leave at 6:30", so I left my usual 5:30am, thinking I'd stop for breakfast once I got down there.
Flash-forward to 7:45am. I walk into the building, sign-in at the security desk, and the guy asks me where I'm going. "I'm here for training," I reply and he tells me to follow him. There was a training class alright, but not the one I was looking for. A call to my supe cleared the whole thing up. Training was cancelled LAST WEEK, but no one told us. See...I told you I had a funny feeling.
By now, you must be asking yourself, "What in the world is he yacking about in a weight-loss forum?" Think of it as lesson in successing (there's a word we all know and love):
Success isn't always a smooth ride.
Live, love, laugh and be happy.

Hope to see many familiar faces and meet new Barix friends.
