No, this is not a recent picture. Unfortunately. I came across this picture tonight and it makes me want to kick myself for losing this toned tummy. This was taken about a year ago. I'm getting it back though. I will post a similar picture in a couple months- hold me to it!
My eating has been great lately, but my water intake has been on the lower side. I'm working on it. It's been hard trying to kick the sugar cravings, but I think I've got them beat. The past 2 days I've caught myself looking at all the candy sitting on my coworker's desk, but that's all I've done...look. I haven't eaten one piece. Go me.
I've started lifting heavier weights and I'm trying to push it a bit harder. I think that when I exhaust a muscle, I feel so drained I want to quit. I'm trying to just give it a good minute to rest and then pushing it again. I think this is what will give me results. Cardio is ok...I just don't have the desire to go longer than 30-40min, and usually it's only 20-30min. I'm not slacking though, I usually get my HR up high.
About the job opportunity- I got the call yesterday and I'm sorry to say I didn't get the position. I was approved by 2 top guys (one being a colonel) but the deciding person didn't choose me. The reason that was given was b/c the other girl is certified in ALL Microsoft programs and I'm not. And the 2nd reason...(this one upsets me) was b/c I have a small child. Of course he didn't say that to ME, but he said it to the woman currently holding the position. Just frustrates me. Well, it just wasn't meant to be I guess. I was pretty bummed when I got the news....and then pissed when I heard the reasons....but obviously it just wasn't the job for me. Onward and upward.

Keep up the great work and eating! Sorry about the position... but you are right, onward and upward.
Sounds like the dude is discriminating a bit. That totally sucks but other doors will open so keep your chin up.
Man, I wish my tummy looked that good too, it is the sides that I have trouble with not so much the front but I am working on that.
I am glad you are pushing yourself more and you are doing better with the cravings. I have had a couple of bad days and that is really not like me. I am having trouble with water myself. Hang that picture up so you can look at it everyday for motivation cause it rocks!
Wow, what a pretty tummy. You'll be right there very soon again, just keep working hard.
So sorry to hear about the position. I'm with Sonniejane, sounds like discrimination to me. But onward and upward it is. You just might have been totally miserable there and there IS something better just waiting in the wings for you.
Purty belly!!! Sorry about the job.
Go you!
Sorry about the job. But there's others.
When does Jack come back? Oh no, not 'til January.
Oh, well.
Well, all I can say is, that job would have probably sucked for you! What an ass reason about having a kid, but can you imagine how hard it would have been for you to stay home if he was sick or something. Everything happens for a reason, you will find something so much better!
I hear ya on the sugar - seems like EVERYONE at work has a bowl of candy, it drives me crazy! Good for you saying no though, I know how hard it is!
Keep up the hard work! You continue to astound and amaze! You'll have that tummy back and better than ever!
Too bad about the job. Comments like that are so frustrating! Been there myself! I'm sure you'll find something better! Good luck with the job hunt!
