November 7, 1999:
Yeah, I know I've been neglecting the journal again!! The truth is, I've been really busy. I found out last Monday that on Thursday I would be taking over a new store!! The new store is much busier and has been taking up a lot of my time. But there's more money involved (for me!) so that's good!! I just hope my schedule settles down soon so I can go to school in January!
Anyway, today was WEIGH-IN!!!!! I'm down 2 more pounds, for a total of 72! YES!!!!! I'm now at 282. I had a very good week as far as water and food goes, but no exercise. Like I said I've been busy. But my goal for this week is to do Tae-Bo at least 3 times!
I miss the pumpkins, but the turkeys are nice, too! Don't you think??
November 14, 1999:
What a busy week! I still managed to meet that goal of doing Tae-Bo 3 times, though!! I'll set the same goal for this week - at least 3 days of Tae-Bo.
This morning was weigh-in!!! I had to go in to work last night to cover 3rd shift because one of my employees was very sick and had to go to the hospital. So I weighed in after I got home - I was 280. BUT ... I had eaten a fat free blueberry muffin at work, and had quite a bit of water. So I weighed in again after I woke up. This time it said 279!!! WOOO-HOOO!!!!! I'm out of the 280's forever!
I went shopping today! I got two cardigan sweaters in a size LARGE and a chenille pullover sweater in a size XL! Also two pairs of denim shorts in a size 22! (They were on sale for $9.99 at August Max - same company as Casual Corner - so I couldn't pass them up!)

Man, have I been neglecting this journal!!!!!! It's been a very stressful week, though - I had to fire and employee and ended up working 61 hours! This has to get better soon. I don't know how much longer I can take that job. The good news is, I registered for classes! I'll start them on January 18th, and I'm soooo excited to go back!
Today was weigh-in, and I'm down 2 more for a total of 77!! I'm at 277, which means only 2 more to go before I reach my goal of 275 by my birthday, which is next week. I think I can make it, as long as I don't totally overdo it on Thanksgiving!
November 23, 1999:
Well, yesterday I found out that my assistant (who is currently taking 2 weeks of vacation) is quitting on November 30th. I'm so tempted to quit myself ... but I can't bring myself to do it. There's just something about the threat of not having a paycheck! But I will keep looking for something in a hospital or doctor's office.
I came home today and did Tae-Bo! I feel so GREAT now!!! I guess I should set a goal - 2 more times this week. That's my goal, and I'm sticking to it! I had also set a weight goal of 254 (100 pounds lost) by 1/31/00, but that may be pushing things a little. Instead I'm going to shoot for 249 (less than 100 pounds to go) by 3/7/00 (one year from the start of my journey).

Today's my birthday!!!!! :-) I weighed in and I'm at 275, which was my goal for today! WOOO-HOOO!!!! Now it's on to the next goal of 249 by 3/7/00. That will be 26 pounds in 14 weeks, which will give me a break if I need it because of the holidays.
I survived Thanksgiving just fine - I had one plate of food and a slice of pumpkin pie and a piece of my mom's strudel, which she made with skim milk and egg substitute. It was still very good. :-) It looks like it didn't hurt my weigh-in at all, either! Today (because it's my birthday) my parents took me out for lunch at a Mexican restaurant, and I had low fat chicken enchiladas and they were just as good as the fattening ones. ;-)
