I might have stolen the to-do lists which Lady got for her birthday way back when. But it's all for the greater good. I've started writing down what I want to accomplish during the day the night before and leaving it on my computer so that I cannot ignore it when I get up and start interneting. So far, so good.
As in, so far I've finished summarizing what I have for ZA, which is necessary for me to go back through and write up an outline for what I want to have. Which is what I will be doing tomorrow. And soon - very soon! - I will begin the actual rewrite. I just have to connect up a lot of plot points and fill in a lot of plot holes, but those are coming together nicer than I expected.
I've also cleaned out the pantry, emailed a bunch of people I'd been putting off emailing, chatted with the wedding photographer (so cute!), cleaned the kitchen, ran, made a bunch of food, touched base with the temp agency, and submitted an application to a local outdoors shop. So far, so good. Oh, and written two more blog posts on the speckofawesome blog. Or N Steps. Not sure what I actually want to call it - kind of waiting a few more months on that and how the posts evolve.
As far as the whole30 iteration 3.0 is concerned, I've been doing well. Already lost all the weight I gained over Christmas, which was a measly 3 pounds. Also had a revelation this morning when I was thinking about how the 148 I weigh now is 4 pounds less than the 152 I started with a week ago - I've lost 20 pounds since July. That's... a lot. Quite a lot for me. I hate to keep harkening back to middle school, but the last time I lost 20+ pounds was then, when I went from 180 down to 150. And this was in a much shorter time period. I keep having moments where I see myself in the mirror and I go, damn, I'm skinny. I still have some fat I'd like to lose - muscle definition for the win - but damn.
Also - totally skinny girl problem now - absolutely none of my pants fit any longer and the jeans skirt I've been wearing since 10th grade is falling off of me. Makes me a little sad, because I can't find a skirt like that anywhere these days. I can keep wearing it for now as long as I have super-long shirts to cover my waist, but not much longer. And man, I love that skirt.
It's just... weird. I tried on a skirt I have the other day which I'd absolutely never been able to fit into, and it fit. I put on a shirt that used to be tight around my arms and now it's loose. I know these aren't really problems, but they're still really weird. And I can argue that they're problems now that I don't have a job and can't afford buying new clothes that fit. XP
Well, at least I am progressing along the application process with the admin assistant position. I have the test tomorrow, which will give me a better idea of where I stand. Hopefully afterwards I'll have enough of an idea to know whether I should start looking elsewhere more aggressively or not.
