Lili's Diary

Ahhh Anna, if I lived closer I would take you out for a good girls night!! ~Hugs~ to you my friend. And remember the old saying, "things happen for a reason" sometimes we don't find out those reasons until later on once the smoke has cleared and usually it's for a good one. I'm sure this window closing will lead to one nice HUGE door opening that is TEN TIMES better. You don't need to deal with that kind of crap anyways, your to good for those people, and the best thing is, YOUR BOSS knows that too. Your so sweet, smart and good at what you do, I'm sure other better offers will be flowing your way in no time flat!! Hang in there and be patient, and remember to take care of number 1 YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love ya!!
BIG BEAR HUGS :hug2:

I'm sorry the work thing is going so smoothly. Your boss totally sounds great though! At least there's that :) But yeah, if that lady is gonna be acting like that, imagine how it would be working for her... I hope it all goes well and they do give a good offer and you'd be working for the other person and not her. If not, at least your boss is giving you some options :)
 
:hug2: :hug2: :hug2: :hug2:
to everyone...my god, thank you so much for your support...me going on and on like that, seriously. I'm feeling 100% again today after a long talk with my boss. We shared a good laugh about our headquarters who phoned this morning to say an announcement was made that I'm coming to work there. :rotflmao: Imagine announcing something like this without even showing me what they're offering, without my accepting an offer. They're in their own little world over there, the little darlings. Shhh! Let's not upset them with reality. :rotflmao: My boss told me he's been recruited by them 4 times and each time the offer wasn't good enough to go.

Ladybug and everyone else, you're absolutely right, things happen for a reason. I truly believe that. And after a night of tears, I'm right as rain and feeling back to myself. There are other good things around the corner. As well, I can bloom where I'm planted for now. I don't need more money or status.

I freaking LOVE you guys.

Thanks Mish, I took CYM's advice on Blancita's thread and before I got out of bed, made a list of things I want to do and things I MUST do. Course exercise has to be a MUST so I took Rufus out on the grid road and jogged/walked for 4 Km. Then I did my 108 sit-ups at home. I'll do weights and lunges every other day. I'm off to the health food store to buy a bunch of fish, nuts, and vegetables. I'm buying whole wheat tortillas, refried beans and peppers for lunches. Yay, I'm back on track. And I told Tubby out on the grid road (Chunky seems to have disappeared, can't find her anywhere) that the next time a stressful situation arises, it is not an excuse to fall off the weight loss train. Tubby agreed.

Lol I like Tubby:) sounds like a smart cookie. Glad you are back to it!! Workouts and food sound really good. I will be revamping a few things come .... well today! Yay for new starts!!! Hope you have a great Sunday!
 
I'm glad to hear you are back on track. I must say I have come to really respect you beyond weight loss in this diary. It seems no matter what happens, you emerge with your determination and amazing sense of humor totally in tact. From medical issues to career issues, so many people would be curled up in a fetal position right now moaning "why me and my family". You keep going and you keep an amazing positive outlook. I hope that someday I can get about 10% of that myself.
 
Aw, shucks, thank you Cannon, what a nice thing to say. I earn a good salary, have a house, friends and family that love me, live in a free country, etc. etc. so there is just so much to be grateful for, I simply can't let life's bumps get me. I'm convinced although we often can't control things that happen to us, we can control how we choose to react to those things. Blah, blah, sounds good in my post, don't it? Putting it into practise is sometimes the hard part. :rolleyes:

Today I went for the read of the film script with all the actors there and the director walking us through the story & visuals. What a beautiful job she's done. It was fun hearing the other actors read their parts, a lot of talent. Two children were really good, too. They're giving me a wig to wear. I've got my film dates set up and my part is really not difficult, it'll be a lot of fun. I say one line in one scene, then about 15 lines in another scene and there's a 3rd scene where I'm dancing, not speaking. The thing about film or theatre, is you meet all these people who just ... love ... to ... play. lol Fun bunch.

I'm off to the gym, gonna do 30 minutes jogging, sit-ups and weights. Except today I'm going to start with weights, & do cardio after, they say that's better.

So far I've eaten apple, oatmeal, spinach, almonds & fish. Snack is fruit & rice crackers, and supper will be steak, flax bread & broccoli. If I don't plan what I eat at the beginning of the day (or the night before), I simply won't follow my eating plan. Now that I know this about myself, true commitment means I'm doing this, so if anyone sees me NOT doing this, feel free to call me on it. I don't need "aww, that's okay", I need "which are you commited to; weight loss, or weight gain?" Sometimes I think we worry that we run the risk of jeopardizing friendship, but if we do it in a respectful way, I think most of us would receive reality checks in a good way. I know I very much appreciate some of you calling me on stuff. Nuff said. Off to the gym.
 
This past week I wrote a skit for our big retirement party at our school and there were about 150 people in the audience laughing as we performed it. It really made me miss when I used to do theatre. I met some really funny people who could really crack you up.
 
That sounds awesome....i might be taking up a course on film making soon. After a photo volunteer project at a local hospital. Media is a good way of theraphy too! :) Glad u enjoyed yourself.

Hope u sleep well tonite.:)

Thanks Pinky, I think it would be great to take a course and you're right it is great therapy. The assistant director told me she's on stress leave from her radio job and is finding this film very good for her self-esteem.

Breakfast; Oatmeal porridge 280 calories, medium apple 81 calories
Lunch; 2 cups spinach 13 calories, 10 almonds 69 calories, 4.5 oz fish 160 calories
Snack; .5 cup fresh fruit 50 calories, 10 rice crackers 83 calories
Supper; 4 oz. steak, 2 cups broccoli 54 calories, cheese sauce 64 calories, 1 slice flax bread 85 calories
Total = 1165 calories

I climbed 80 steps to my office and did a 10 minute sprint run with the dog but it started pouring.
 
yeah i agree about the actors, they are a fun bunch!
I have a friend who does theatre lighting and we always get free tickets and go back stage, its just so cool :D
 
Your planning ahead for what you eat sounds a lot like mine. If I have a plan, I follow it (for the simple reason that I'm too lazy to do all the counting again :p), if I don't have one, it's open doors' day in my fridge... Don't wanna go there, do I? :rolleyes:
Have a great week, Anna! :D

Oh I think the calling you on bad stuff sounds like a fabulous idea. I respond really well to that form of tough love too, I have a feeling though we'll have no reason to chastise. I'm happy you are able to have a sense of humor about the situation with work, I see how it's possible you have such good-natured boys! You're doing great with the cal intake and diet, though it seems to be a tiny bit lower than what I thought you're supposed to stay at. The acting sounds like so much fun! What does the wig look like? Is it long and black? I'm sorry, I mentioned Pocahontas in Curvie's diary and now I desperately want to watch that movie again! Hope you're having a nice night :)
