That pretty much sums up my last few weeks.
Finished the 8 week challenge in first place...yeah for me!
Cory was "let go" from his job at Pacific Dental Services a week before Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving was supposed to be at my house but so few of Cory's family could make it to Tucson it was moved to Gilbert. Its hard to cook in a kitchen that is not yours.
Things I have learned...I am a stress/boredom eater.
Has life been stressful these last few weeks?..Bells YES!
The Challenge was good for me...I lost weight and gained a better understanding of my relationship with food. I never realized how much we ate out until I was not allowed to have fast food for 6 days of the week.
Have I figured it all out and the pounds are just dropping off...NO... I wish!
Losing weight is so hard. Eating right and exercising is easy.
I am feeling defeated today...but I am not giving up.
I am glad Cory is finished with PDS, the management here in Tucson is just awful, so disorganized and shady...I hate shady. Cory is so honest and they wanted him to exaggerate and mislead patients and that just isn't right. We knew it wasn't going to be a great partnership but Cory was committed to giving them his best til Christmas...then he would have quit if things were not better. I guess they just made the decision for us a little early.
This Christmas will be lean...but at least Cory won't have to check his integrity at the door.
Cory has some interviews next week and we are pretty much sure a move is in the near future...again. But what can you do? I am secretly excited...I love the area here and love being close to family but in the end if Cory is happy and making money then life is good...and its only for 3 years and then our plan is to open his own practice...so that means alot of saving and no real spending. I can live with that. The girls are old enough that I can get a job and pay off those student loans a little faster.
My weight...I just don't want to talk about it today....or tomorrow. I feel like I am getting smaller...but the scales are mean. I know muscle weighs more than fat but you can only tell yourself that for 8 weeks before you know there is more to it than that.
I am not giving up, I have just lost some wind. I will gt it back and kick my own butt.
later friends

Good job with the challenge Michele! You rock! Sorry about Cory's job, but it sounds like you guys aren't too bummed. From our experiences and talking to others chain practices like PDS are always somewhat shady, and always about the numbers. Cory's a great guy and dentist so I'm sure he'll be a big contribution to someone's office. Good luck!
praying all goes well in the job hunt. december may be lean for many of us, but still...it's a wonderful life. God bless us everyone!! luv you! xoxo =)
