So, I accepted a new position with my company last week. I had several interviews for positions all over my company and accepted a position that I know will be very exciting and challenging. I will be working at a different location, this time in downtown St. Paul. I am excited for the change of scenery and for meeting new people. I will miss working in my current location and the people I work with, but I have a feeling that we may run into each other again sometime down the road.

So, with the stress of the job situation mostly going away, I am turning my focus on getting back in control of my health and my diet. I haven’t been working out like I should be. My half marathon training is non-existent at this point and my diet is well… not good. I am feeling pretty awful and I hate how I look. During this month or so of job turmoil, I barely worked out. Ate whatever I wanted, and slept poorly. I feel like I aged a bit and I gained a few pounds. Not cool, dude.

So, first things first, I am heading back to Weight Watchers. I am not waiting until January to start. I am starting on Wednesday, dammit. I don’t really care about the “holidays” or missing my favorite foods, etc. I want to start now. In fact, I might go before Wednesday just to get started. Trying to find a meeting that fits the crazy schedule of hockey, work, etc is hard. And, my favorite leader only runs a few meetings so I have to work around when she is there, too. So complex!

I am excited to get back into the right mindset. I am excited to resume my half marathon training and to settle into a new job. It’s been a very crazy, stressful, amazing, and eye-opening month or so. I am glad it’s over, but more than that, I am glad it happened.

Thanks friends for all of your support and words of encouragement during this crazy time. I really appreciated it more than you can know.
