Happy Friday! Just for fun!!!!

1. What was your first job?

I worked as a file clerk at a local doctor's office during the school year, cleaned houses on weekends, and then at 16 started working at a local store as a cashier and eventually got a pharmacy apprentice certificate (much easier to do 38 years ago!) and continued working there weekends and holidays until I was done with college.

2. Victories/struggles this week?

I have some swelling in my right lower calf/foot left over from my thigh lift, and I really dislike the compression socks.  I'm ok with the leggings, but I did not expect the need for the socks.  Also, there is a bully parent at school who keeps asking the same question (5 times via email yesterday with escalating verbiage) after we've answered it repeatedly.  I really think he's trying to ask something else, but we can't figure out what and he will not talk on the phone (he wants it in writing), and won't come in to see us until the end of next week. 

Victory - I *may* have gained 4 pounds in the past month.  Or it could be the swelling from the surgery.  So far, I've been stable at this weight (within 2 pounds up and down), and am hoping that this is it.

3. Plans for the weekend?

Brought the boat home last week, so now we need to clean it.  The pier is in, but the boat lift won't be for a couple weeks, so it's time to get ready for SUMMER!

1 - first job - grocery store cashier

2 - victories/struggles this week - went to the track 3 days this week.  each time i ran 3 miles then walked another 3 miles. 

3 - weekend plans - gonna try to finish this stinking tree house for the grandsons!  hubby's been gone all week so we've not worked on it!  gotta get this thing finished!  driving me nuts!

next.....

Haha - when you said track the first thing I thought of was "horse track"... see where my minds' at?  LOL

1. Working at a vet's office walking and bathing dogs and cleaning cages.  It was the hardest job I've ever had.

2.  I finally seem to have broken a two week stall.  I was starting to feel pretty frustrated.  Weekends are always a challenge for me in terms of protein and fluids, so I need to work on that.

3.  Going to see the musical Memphis broadcast on the big screen.  Taking my daughter to what seems to be becoming a regularly scheduled Sunday birthday party for someone in her class.

1.)   What was your first job?  Other then baby sitting my first job was at a donut shop.  Go figure.  I actually got so sick of donuts that I couldn't eat them for a while.

2.)  Victories/Struggles this week?  Broke a 2 week stall, I am now at the top of my maintenance range.  Need to get in more exercise.  Bought another car and I have been fixing it up and now I am worried that I am spending all this money and it's going to die on me.  Had my hernia surgery 2 weeks ago and I feel totally  healed.  The incision is totally closed.

3.)  Plans for the weekend?  Not too much.  Going to my boyfriends house to finally meet his new granddaughter.  He has 2 sons and 4 grandsons so he's very happy.  I can see this girl already has grandpa wrapped around her finger.  It's nice seeing that side of him.

Oooohhhh, I wish!  I worked in an old-fashioned ice cream parlor in college, and got literally addicted to a cherry/vanilla soda with dark chocolate ice cream floated in it!

I just salivated thinking about it now 37 years later!!

1) First tax paying job was working at a fast food restaurant.  There was an incredible amount of drama there.

2) Victories was breaking a 2-week stall. I have 2 struggles. One is that I had a verbal altercation with a co-worker. Although I still feel like I didn't start it, I feel like I could have handled it much better and still am in a funk over it. Second I am struggling with a calf injury that's stopping me from exercise.

3) Plans for the weekend are to visit cutie pie 2-year old granddaughter (oh yeah, and her parents too ). Also getting my hair done which is really needed.

1. Stewarts Rootbeer...lasted 1 day and never went back it was a horrible experience and I never ate there again!!!

2.  Doing ok this week.  Scale is down and i am 6 lbs. away from goal.  Back is doing great and plan to start hitting the gym again on Monday.    There is a running club at work that I am thinking about joining.

3. supposed to be a beautiful day tomorrow. Will spen the day outside with my lil man as much as possible. Sunday suppose to rain so we are hitting one of the big malls :-)

Have a great weekend.

1.)   What was your first job?  My dad owned a grocery store when I was small so we all had to work there and put up stock every week.  First paying job other than babysitting was keeping books at a heating & air cond. business when I was 17.

2.)  Victories/Struggles this week?  Challenge - at a training that required we stayed on site and had to eat almost every meal in the restaurant at the hotel.  Victory - I didn't gain as much as I thought I had!!

3.)  Plans for the weekend?  Got really far behind at work since I was gone 3 days so I'm working today and we have a retirement reception this afternoon for an employee.  Tomorrow I hope to rest after church!

Oops - I forgot about the time I worked in the potato chip factory when I was in high school... wonder why I'm addicted to carbs?  NO we couldn't eat them but the smell - yummm
