I’m 33!

It’s my PATRICK EWING year!

I have loved the number 3 since junior high when the NY Knicks were THE sports team. Patrick Ewing wore 33 and my beloved John Starks wore 3. I had been looking forward to my 30s because of my affinity for 3. 

It wasn’t until the last year or so did I know that a “Jesus year” was a thing for 33 (Jesus was 33 when he was crucified).  

Regardless 33 for me is my Patrick Ewing year and also I’m loving the fact that my birthday this year is a Thursday because I was born on a Thursday! 

I am working today until 5 and then I get to put up an out of office reply until next Thursday. After work today I am having a celebratory Happy Hour with some friends.  Then tomorrow is the last move of big items into the new house and then I fly up to Maine for a long beach weekend with girlfriends in York Beach which has been planned for moooonths. I was able to negotiate the time off in my job offer.

It’s crazy that when I come back from the beach I will going to my new house that I live in with T!!! 

33 is going to be epic.

Year to Year

June 24, 2015: 204.6
June 24, 2016: 190.7

Change: -13.9

Last year I couldn’t believe I let myself get back in the 200s. It was a slooooow battle out. It’s been a slooooow battle these past 6 months even trying to get in the 180s. But progress is progress. I’m doing it in a healthy and maintainable way. Slowly, but surely!

I think this new job will lower my stress level and making losing weight easier. Even since early June when I accepted my new job I’ve found that it’s been easier to lose weight.

Rested!

Yesterday was my last day of work! I had a relatively good last week, but of course my horrendous/frustrating coworker and boss still had to be shitheads at points throughout the day.

I practically skipped out of the office after doing all my exit paperwork, turning in keys, and parking passes. (Now don’t get me wrong saying goodbye to my work wife was really sad, BUT we are going to be lifelong friends and I don’t think she’ll last much longer in that toxic environment, especially without me now).

I think I mentioned here but the past 3 months I have not been sleeping well at all. Lots work stress, frustration, anxiety kinda, and my mind racing at night. Even Wednesday night I had trouble sleeping because I knew yesterday I wanted to give some constructive feedback to my boss on my last day. Making a list at 2am of possible things to say only frustrated me more and she wasn’t really open to hearing me out despite how professional and gentle I was trying to be.

So last night. I SLEPT. I SLEPT HARD. 10 glorious hours only interrupted by trips to the potty for Freddie or me. I guess losing 350 pounds of toxic coworkers IS GOOD for you health. I feel SO MUCH LIGHTER AND FREE!

I have a weekend of fun and rest and errands ahead of me before starting my new job on Monday!
