Movin on Up

Well, last Friday I moved up at work. I'm on the top of the building looking down on creation. I can hear the rain on the roof. It's so quiet up here. Even the AC doesn't hum in this part of the building. My new desk is sparkly and clean. I got rid of a lot of junk. I feel cleansed! New start, new perspective. I had been in that last desk since 2006, so it was definitely time for a change.

This move nicely aligned with some personal things I've been working on... and that is that I am now on my 10th day with no carbs or alcohol. Well, I did have a tiny portion of a vodka and water on Saturday. It was so disgusting that I could not even finish it. Anyway, the results thus far of this cleansing are:

• increased energy
• elevated mood
• springing out of bed in the morning
• lack of hunger
• cessation of emotional bingeing binging (how do you spell that) and pantry raiding
• the third digit on the scale has gone DOWN from a 8 to a 9. (do you know what I mean - one more lb. until it's a 10-lb. decline) I realize some of that is just the natural fluctuation of my weight but whatever, I am counting it cuz it keeps me on track!
• pants fitting better

I owe all of this to my darling husband. He is doing this with me, and without him as a teammate, I surely fail.

Oh. And, every day since April 30th, I have arrived at work before, at, or 2 minutes past 8:00 a.m.

That's all - adieu. TTYL!

PS - received a box of cupcakes yesterday, and there are still the full dozen in the box. No sabotage!!
