Well, at least I can say that I've lost weight for two weeks in a row and only .2 more till I get back to my lowest weight so far on this journey. Now if only I can keep this up.

I'm getting used to the schedule of working retail again, if not the strain on my body from being on my feet for so long. I bought some Sketchers Shape-Ups sneakers on the recommendation of the person in the shoe department when I asked about shoes with lots of support for being on my feet lots on a concrete floor. I'm wearing them today, and am working for 4 hours later, so we'll see how it goes. I think I may need to get insoles for them for some arch support, but so far I can definitely feel their extra cushioning compared to my other sneakers. (I figure if they help tone my lower body that will be an added bonus, I just want to not want to cry due to foot pain after every shift at work.)

I think my interview on Tuesday went well. I felt good about how it went when I left and during it anyways. I'll hear back around the end of the month, so keep thinking good thoughts for me. It would be a perfect position for me right now in so many ways.

I didn't track my food at all last week. I want to do better with that this week. I know that tracking and planning my food is how I am the most successful. If I try adding in more activity to my schedule right now I think my legs will stop working all together. (Being a slow healer I have to be careful not to overdue as I need more recovery time than most people with any injury or stress to my body.)

I've started my holiday shopping. I have three people on my list completely done. :-) I'm definitely being creative in my search and picking of items, but I'm having fun. The people left on my list tend to be a little harder to shop for, but I'm not really worried especially since I've really only hit one store so far in my shopping.

For my birthday I received The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. I'm planning to make the sugar biscuits (cookies) recipe and decorating them with red and yellow colored sugar for Gryffendor House (the store had limited choices). Going to pack them and take them for movie snacks to go see the new Harry Potter movie on the 19th. :-)

Well off to take care of some job application stuff and eat lunch before I have to be to work in 2 hours and 17 minutes. ;-)
