It's Over.

My 4.5 months of being a Medical Transcriptionist appear to be over. And it's all because someone else quit. You see, I was still being proofed since I am new at all this. The lady who was proofing my work before turning it in quit. Now there's no one to proof me. No one to proof=no work for me. The company we got work from does not have enough staff to proof me. The other work that the company I was contracting with has to be done during the day. That's not an option for me since I work outside the home full time. I enjoyed it while I had it.

Clayton has been with the Sheriff's office long enough now to get a promotion! Woohoo! He put in for it Wednesday night. Promotion=raise! Hopefully it will go through soon. I don't see him not getting it since all his supervisors have recommended it at his reviews.

In weight loss news, I have lost TWO pounds since last Friday. Hopefully I can keep it up. My tummy is telling me it's hungry RIGHT NOW, but I'm ignoring it. If it really starts to yell at me, then I'll go get a lukewarm bottle of water. (It was just put in the fridge this morning). Now that I'm not working at night anymore I can start exercising again after Andrew goes to bed. I need a big kick in the butt to get started, though. And then, the big question, do I do Pilates or The Firm? A mixture? Once I get started, I'll figure it out. My first inclination is to get my Firm stuff out and get some cardio going, and then work in the Pilates for extra toning.

So, I've done okay eating since supper last night. Lunch yesterday was a washout, so I'm not starting there. I cooked spaghetti last night. I did not get as much as I normally would for a first helping and I didn't go back for 2nds. I accidently bought lite bread, but it was good. Breakfast this morning was a banana and OJ. Lunch will be Lean Cuisine. I KNOW I'll be still be hungry after I eat that. I've got some SnackWell's Devil's Food cookies. I will allow myself to have one.

Why is it that the best things get left at the grocery store? I bought groceries last night and my baking potatoes, sweet potato, corn, and hot dogs got left at the store. I don't care much about the hot dogs, but they were going to be lunch Sunday. The potatoes and corn were supposed to be cooked tomorrow night with our grilled steak. I was gonna get Clayton to grill the corn and I was going to throw the potatoes in the microwave. Now, I guess I'll mash some of the other potatoes. And cook some green beans. Maybe steam carrots. And if anyone cares, we're having pork chops, pasta, and green bean casserole tonight.
