I worked late tonight because I was trying to make a bit of a dent in the huge pile of work that is backed up on my desk. Seems like the database moves a little faster when the majority of the users are logged off. I stayed until 8:00 and then sent my co-worker a text message telling her that I was headed home because I was moving slower than the database by that point. She wrote back and asked if that meant I was asleep. I guess it’s good that we can still laugh … part of the time! I had to go to a meeting in my bosses office this afternoon to discuss the best way to get our workflow moving in spite of uncooperative software and my blood pressure was so high that I could barely hear her over the roaring in my ears. I’ll be glad when we get caught up and some of the stress is off! And no … we are not being pushed to do more than is possible … we’re just a merry little band of Type A personalities who are anxious to get it done as perfectly as possible!
I ventured onto the scales yesterday … even though I said I wouldn’t. I’ve lost (not that I wish to find them) 20 pounds in 3 weeks. I KNOW that’s good but I was still a little disappointed! I had hoped for a minimum of 25 and was really thinking it could be more. Still … 20 was a good start!
My goal for the moment is to be slimmed down enough to wear my Holy Clothing blouse and pants for the dressy evening at Blissdom. (Gives me a month.) I had bought 3 blouses back in December that I have never yet been able to wear. And then I didn’t really have pants to go with them so I ordered some pants from the same company.
I have this in this red, sapphire blue, and emerald green.
And I have these pants in black and brown. Hoping the brown looks okay with the green. I seldom have cause to dress formally and didn’t want to invest too much money in it but I think this will make a really pretty outfit if I can just get into it!
Okay … it’s edging towards 10:00 and I need to go to bed! Talk to y’all later!











































20 lbs is fantastic Beth!!! I know this is harder to do than say, but don’t focus on the number so much. You are heading in the right direction and that is all that matters. Oh, and I love the outfit.

I know you have more weight to lose than I can understand, but it would seem like more than 20 pounds in three weeks would be dangerous. Twenty seems wonderful!
Health is the goal.
