Easter

Hey hey people who may check by once in a while to see if I still blog..

It's funny, I sometimes click on it through my favourites, look at how long since I blogged & then I decide that I don't have time to blog. Like today, I have time to play Cafe' World on Facebook (by the way I would love for you all to become my neighbours) but i'm too busy to blog....

So just to update you all on my life.. Weightloss is going horribly & when I say horribly I really do mean horribly. I haven't gone over 90 kilos yet but if I don't do something Iwill.

For close to a year I have complained about my weight, I have complained about work & generally how I want to make everything better.

At the end of Feb after I was burnt yet again by a crappy organisation that I am extremely happy to leave, I started assesing the job market. Not the usual flick through of "oh look I could do that" but the look of "Can I do this, will it offer me more, will I enjoy it, Can I see a future here"

I applied for 3 jobs. One I did not get a callback for. Another I got called but turned down because it really was just going to be the same heartache just with a different company. Now the one that I really really really wanted I got a callback on. Then I went in for an interview & assesment, then a group interview & assesment, then a panel interview (OMG) until finally last week I was called with the awesome news that after 8 weeks & out of over 900 applicants and out of those only 50 getting to panel interview stage, I was 1 of 32 lucky people to get picked. So in a weeks time I will start work for QLD govt in their Smart Service Contact Centre. I am extremely excited!!! I can not think of bad poits, this place has windows, I will see sunlight, better pay, lots of opportunity for a better career, people get things based on merit not based on looks or who's in the boys club. Plus big bonus is I get to catch the train so I will walk to the train in the morning & then home from the train at night which = exercise!

There will be a few adjustments on the home front as my partner & I will no longer work together but that will just mean that I get a chance to miss & appreciate him some more :)

I still plan on getting my Aussie Citizenship (spelling???) & I still need to make my goal of 75kg to do so. Also we are heading into winter & I refuse to come out of hibernation in spring with extra kilos to shed. I plan on making it to the beach this summer & I plan on being happy with my body.

So I will leave you all now with my plans & hopefully there is someone out there still reading. I've noticed that a few of the blogs I follow don't get alot of updates these days so I think I will also look for a new blog each week to help keep me motivated & of course I will keep checking all the blogs to see how you're all going.

Good luck with the choccies on Sunday. The easter bunny is bringing me 1 rabbit and maybe a few mini eggs so that will be my indulgence. Otherwise, it's time for me to start bringing it.

p.s. i'll do a quick blog tomorrow to update my weight. i'll count it as my starting weight because easter signifies spring, birth, new beginnings & right now my life is all about new beginnings :)
