Wave 1

Ok friends...or friend as it may be. I am an exhausted mess. There is joy in it though. I'm still in transition and will be going to San Diego for round 1 of the great exodus. I'm glad to be doing this but I'm honestly worried...as I should be I guess. I have no place to live nor a job. Ouch. I have a phone interview tomorrow with a good school district and I believe that it will be good if I do in fact get a position there. I have a good bye party planned for July 31...and have invited 150 of my nearest friends for a "C is leaving" party or a "C is staying" party...I believe my friends will celebrate either way. With either announcement, I'm getting out of the college town I'm living in. Sending out the invites...colored green, my favorite color...crap I look so hideous green...solidifies everything. I'm thinking that it really is feasible that I will have a job and a place to U-haul my stuff to by the end of this month. This is big though...really big.

I have been celebrating this transition by going off on adventures with friends...goodbye trips with loved ones that I will truly miss. The mindfulness of my eating has been out the window, but alas I'm cool with it. I came back from San Diego able to fit into a size smaller...and I'm sure that it hasn't changed much in my celebrations. I'm going back to chase a 2 yr old and a 6 yr old niece and nephew...and I'm thinking smaller me is decidedly on the horizon. I know the elements it takes to reduce and I'm keeping track of things on the LiveStrong.com calorie counter. It is beyond beautiful and an excellent way to go for this...it tabulates everything in mere minutes and I'm not hanging my eating out in this forum...I appreciate the privacy.

That makes this a thought journal and I'm tickled with that.
