I confess…I am scared…
Good morning buddies…
Sorry I was MIA all weekend…As you know, the BF was in from Florida, and well, we kept pretty busy…(Get your minds outta the gutter!!!) LOL… 
We went to a football game on Friday night (Highschool) Saturday we went tailgating (Ohio State Buckeyes) Sunday we went to a place in town called German Village. (Think cute, quaint brick streets, shops, etc…)
So, my eating was not stellar…And my workouts irregualar, BUT, we did a hell of a lot of walking…So I dont feel horrible…
I know I am continuing to do my thing, so my attititude is kinda like this: In the big scheme of my weight loss journey, three days is not gonna make or break it…
I sent him off yesterday, and today, I am geared up and ready to go again…Will walk on my lunch break, work out tonight, and keep on keepin on…
My goal for the week is FIVE DAYS of workouts…With no break until Sunday…
TOM is here. And, well, he sucks. But I am tryin to ignore him…
Okay. So all the other stuff…The previously mentioned interview??? Well…I had TWO phone interviews last week with a MAJOR employer. One you ALL KNOW OF…They must have liked me. For they are FLYING ME DOWN TO FLORIDA for an interview next Monday…OMFG!!!!
Now. I am excited. Nervous. And scared.
I am ready for the next chapter of my life to start and overall, I feel very calm and good about my decision to relocate from Ohio to Florida.
BUT…I am scared.
I am 36 years old and have never really lived on my own. How sad is that????
I have spent most of my life in Ohio.
I have always been surrounded by family and friends and pets.
Starting out in Florida, I will have NONE…
And I am worried. I am worried about finanances…Worried about moving, how to, when, etc…Worried about finding a good safe, but cheap place to live…Will the town have a cheap gym I can join??? Will my family and friends visit me??? What about Christmas?? Will I spend it alone??? UGH…It goes on and on…
My OCD is in overdrive…
So I keep telling myself to BREATHE…To take one step at a time…Its okay to plan ahead, but they havent even offered me the job yet and they may not…But buddies…It is sooo hard…
Things are movin quick now. And honestly, when the dust settles, it is always best for me when things DO happen so fast I dont have time to think about them…But this is a big one…
I feel like I am very much walking out the door of one life, and knocking on the door of my next one…
So, I will be a bit spotty over the next week or so…But I am still here. Still doin my thing and wishin you all the best with your things…
Take care buddies!!!!!
Hey, sounds like things are going to start happening for you! my advice would be don’t start worrying about things like moving etc untill it is definetly happening. Just focus on the interview, do your best and kick some ass! and then (when you get the job!) you can start organising and figuring out how things are going to change! You sound excited and a change is always daunting but I’m sure it would all work out fine!
Best of luck!
Good luck with the 2nd interview- the fact that they’re FLYING you down there is a good thing!
Life isn’t always nice but, you really seem to have a grip on it! It’s okay to take those baby steps and as for the job and relocating it will all be fine ! I have no doubt in my mind of how strong of a person you are and will do just fine! Good Luck sweetie! Hugs, Kimmi
I agree with you, in the scheme of things 3 days is not going to make or break you; besides you guys walked a lot so that helps. Sounds like you guys had a good time.
Awesome news with the 2nd interview. Good luck with the one in Florida. I hear you on being away from your loved ones, if it comes down to it because I’m very close to my family as well. I couldn’t imagine being even a 1 hr drive away from them - well, because I’d get lazy and they would never see me.
Anyhow, you’re doing great! The workout plan of 5 days straight is good. My Aunt Flow is visiting me as well, but she doesn’t effect me the way PMS does.
Have a great day Dawn!
Wishing you luck on your interview…I bet it is scary. Sounds like an adventure tho…ENJOY it
Ahhh, Dawnie—take it from me, EVERYTHING is going to be ok. This is one of those decisions where most people will tell you to SERIOUSLY think about it, but most of those people have never done it themselves—ask Debbie…she and her hubby moved clear across the country and so have Stacey and her family—granted, those of us who have made the move, have done it with our spouses or significant others, but don’t think of it so much as a life-altering move, but as a huge and FUN adventure. Now, it’s not like you’re actually going to be alone, your wonderful boyfriend will be there with you. Dawnie, I say JUST DO IT. Sometimes in life, you have to take a leap of faith—this is YOUR time. Also, like I told you before, if all fails, which I highly doubt it will, you can always go back to the comfort of Ohio!! I am so excited for you Dawnie and I sincerely hope you keep us posted every step of the way!!
