It's late and I'm a little delirious! There is no telling what all I am going to throw into this one post.
I stayed up till about 3 am yesterday morning and still up now, packing and throwing away things. I guess I've been running on adrenaline but I think I'm about to crash! I can't wait until Thursday; I'm going to sleep until I wake up on my own! It's hard to me to look at these three garbage bags beside me. I am a "pack rat", I admit! I just thew away tons and tons of certificates that I received from elementary, middle and high school! Do I really need a D.A.R.E. certificate or a "Perfect Attendance" certificate ??? Believe it or not, I even threw some pictures away. I am proud! Oh, and I just threw away my Senior shirt, that was kind of hard to part with; even though I don't remember half of the sayings on it! :-)
I just cleaned out my closet, it's completely empty now (kind of makes me sad). Most of the clothes that were still hanging in there didn't fit. When I first moved here (Sept. 06) I had to buy a new pair of work pants, I found them tonight and I put them on, I should have taken a picture! I never realized that I was that big. It's amazing what 20 pounds will do!
I can't wait to move to Gonzales and get settled because Jennifer, Kayla and I are all losing weight together and it will be so much easier to be able to work out together. I have not been doing so well lately, lots going on and no time (excuses!) to walk. 25 pounds to go, I can do it!
As much as I dislike my job, I am so sad to be leaving. I have met so many great people this past year. I still do not officially have the job that I interviewed for, I should find out by Friday. If I don't get this job then I'll just have to stay here a few more weeks while applying for others.
I will miss everyone! Most of all, I will miss my family. I enjoy going over there (they are all spread across 40 acres!) and everyone hanging out together in the yard. Thankfully, it's only a two hour drive! I'm sure I'll be up here a couple times a month. I am just the type of person who does not handle good bye easily. When I was younger (and still now some) I didn't like to visit people because I didn't like to say bye. Am I crazy or what??? I do think this move will be the best for me though; better opportunities.
I hope everyone reading is having a great week.
BELIEVING-

Congrats on your weight loss! That's super.....can't wait to see new pics soon. I call it instant confidence when you stumble across those old pants you thought you looked good in....only to find them way too big-awesome! You will be fine moving. You will be amazed how much you learn about yourself in a new environment. We moved to Bham from Atlanta when Bowen was 5 months old and I was terrified-I knew no one-no family, no one. It has honestly changed me and my outlook on life for so many different reasons. It's like being on the outside looking in-it gives you a glimpse of the way you used to be/live and what you have ahead of you-newness-a clean slate. I used the time to challenge myself to try new things, push my limits because I didn't know a soul. I was able to just be me. Good luck, you will do great and I can't wait to hear how everything unfolds!!!
Wow, That was the longest post i have ever known you to write. I am super impressed. I was thinking, I am glad that you pretty much HAVE to move...because you would have NEVER made the decision on your own. This is what you want Jo, you deserve to be happy just like I do. And when i visit you, i can sleep at Diannes!!!
So, Zhohn........are you moved yet?? If so I hope the move went smoothly and you got the job. I know it is hard to move away from family.....but you will be happy to be colse to your friends too. Great job on your weight loss......you should post a current picture.....I bet you look great!!!!!!!!!! Give us an update girl.......take care...are you going to the Shake??? Mo was in my backyard this weekend and I did not get a chance to meet her.....I REALLY wanted to visit with her......I cant make it to the Shake this year but I am putting it on my calendar as soon as they set the date next year.......what a great job you are doing with bringing awareness to the forefront.....hope all is well with you........Dena
