Lili's Diary

Wow..... Anna I am so proud of ya! Funny feeling tho we only 'chat' here. Really happy for this next stage of your life... hope you nail the job when they open it up for competition. Meantime u'll probably be bz settling stuff for your move. Take care! :jump:
 
That is so amazing. I am so happy for you! I WANT TO SKATE TO WORK TOO! I love that! So when do you fly out for your orientation? That's great that you'll be making so much profit on your house! and you deserve every penny of that insane salary I'm sure...this job sounds dreamy but challenging. You're going to do a fantastic job, and after all that's why they chose you. I can't wait to hear more, congratulations Anna!
 
Holy Cow Anna, how exciting for you girl!! YES!! And it's happening at a good time for you as well. Awesome you'll be making money off the sale of your home too, that will certainly make things easier on you. Where abouts are you living right now?? I used to go into Canada all the time when I lived in Upstate NY. I went mainly to Ontario, Kingston area, it was gorgeous there and so much fun. I would love to come back for a visit again. I'm so happy for you, it's sounds truly like a dream. CONGRATS!!! :rotflmao: :jump:
 
Wow, you miss a few days in this diary and you miss a lot. Congrats!! I think taking the job is definitely the right idea. And just think how jealous that one annoying co-worker will be :). I know you'll be a smasher at your new job!
 
Wonderful news, Anna! Congratulations!!!
And so many changes in your life.. I wish you a lot of that same enthusiasm your post had to fly you easily through all of them!

Anna I am sure you are busy but wanted to pop by and just say I am so very happy for the new job. Everything seems to be falling right into place and I wish you luck with selling your house and getting things moved. I am very excited for you and that is awsome you can skate to work but even more awsome that you will be in a place that recognizes how outstanding you are and will treat you accordingly!!! Yay for fresh starts!!! :hug2:
 
Aww, tanks guys. :) :) :)

I've been hit with insomnia, worry, stress, the whole sha-bang, getting a real estate agent, helping my sons get their head around all this, finding an agent in Ottawa, deciding whether to live on the Ottawa or Gatineau side, either Ontario or Quebec...I'm favoring Quebec since my office is on the Quebec side and I hate long commute. But it's all coming together.

Terrible eating and lack of exercise...haven't gone to the gym for a week, walked to work today, whoop-dee-doo. I'm really unhappy with myself and my lack of discipline right now. I'm eating convenience food and I'm very stressed right now and out of routine. Went to look for houses tonight with the kids, found a funky little place. But we also love another neighbourhood...we have time. I found out I can go August 15th, I don't have to go to Ottawa as quickly as I was first led to believe. I'm glad of that.

Sorry to go on and on, just wanted to pop in and say I'm struggling with getting back on track. I'm mentally all over the place and doing a lot of comfort eating. Disappointed in myself about handling the stress that way. Not sure what it's going to take. I keep re-committing myself and do well for part of the day, only to crash later. Had salad for lunch, then junk food in the afternoon, hot dogs for supper, slurpee, somebody take me out back and SLAP me! It's serious comfort eating. When I know what I need to do is get me to the gym. The gym, the gym, the gym...
 
Slap where???? :hug2: :hug2: :hug2:

Sorry to hear what u going through. But hey it's ok to take a break sometimes. Don't be too hard on yourself. It worsens the insomnia....

love ya....
 
Oh Anna :hug2: I wish I could say I understand and I've been there, but you have loads of stress on your hands right now, I know that I wouldn't handle it as well as you are. I think it's right to let things flow as far as your diet, and just do the best you can. This sort of unprecented life-altering move is freaky and exciting so I would say that things are going to fall into place, and your diet and exercise will resume whenever it's feasible. It doesn't sound feasible at the moment! I think what you're doing is wonderful and I have no doubt that you're going to get right back into your groove soon. I'm happy that you have a couple months before the actual move though! Don't worry, be happy, and take good care of yourself. I think SLEEP is most important for you woman! :hug2:
 
Right there with you!!!! I don't even have nearly the stress you do!! It is hard to get back on but it is possible!!! Keep recommiting... even if it is in a week. It does make a difference and at least a walk to work is activity!! you will get back into the groove of things!! Hope you have a wonderful day. I am glad you have time for your move:) Happy house hunting!
 
Your abt tog o through some major changes girl - that is stressfull - you will get back on track and if you arent sleeping well either that plays a big part in it - one litlte goal at a time - one little step to work on daily...:):):)
 
Hello Anna, thanks for the rep earlier, that was so sweet. I know what your going through I've made the big change before too, but I had the boys with me and they were much younger. It was hard and it was stressful, but as all things do, it worked itself out. Don't worry about the binge eating, you know your doing it, and admitting is the first sign of making a change and correction. Hang in there sister, you will be alright I promise you that. I do think getting to the gym will make you feel better, mentally and physically. Take it one day at a time, and don't be so hard on yourself, when I stress I don't eat at all, so at least your eating, you have to have nutrition. Keep on writing, that's good therapy too. Later gator!
~~HUGS~~ :hug2: :hug2:

It'll all go smoothly. What exciting changes coming up! The possibilities seem limitless. So what if you miss the gym for a few days. You'll get back into it. Sometimes the reality is that life gets in the way of our best intentions.
 
I kinda want to hear about that funky house! I'm crazy for old houses, I love exploring! Hope everything's going well :)
 
I freaking LOVE you guys
