I'm down to 149. I also got a new scale which weighs me in at 1.5lbs lighter than the other one, so maybe I'm only down 2lbs. instead of 4. Oh well. I like the lower number.
I have been running 3-4 times a week, averaging between a 10:30 and 10:45 mile. Not great, but at least I'm back up to 3 miles pretty consistently.
Progress, slowly but surely!

Highs, Lows and Inbetweens
For some people, unemployment is most difficult on their pocketbooks. For me, it's most difficult on my mental stability. I find myself short tempered, unmotivated, and just flat out exhausted a good bit of the time. I'm more busy and stressed out right now than I have been in a long time. I figured out the other day that on average, I spend one hour and fifteen minutes in the car a day. Funny thing is, I don't travel more than 30 or 40 miles in a day! Damn stoplights and traffic!
I never did get that second interview. I sent emails and made phone calls, and finally this past week I got through and got something scheduled. It's scheduled for 5/14 at 11:30am. I didn't realize until later that that date is the seventh anniversary of my grandfather dying. Hopefully some good will come of it, because I am so tired and so not liking where I'm at right now.
On good notes though, we're going to WI next weekend and also Chicago. Deep dish pizza, here we come! Our original plans were foiled when the tickets for Brewfest were sold out, so we had to quickly come up with Plan B. We're spending part of Friday and most of Saturday in Chicago (the first time C has been there without snow and freezing temps!) and then going to Sheboygan Saturday night and leaving Monday morning.
We went and saw Fleetwood Mac a couple weeks ago; what a good show! We were in the nosebleed seats at Time Warner Arena, but that's OK. Still a good show and the group wasn't the size of ants, so that's a plus. They are definitely getting old, but still have great stamina to get through a 2.5 hour show!
Our trip to Austin is coming up just around the corner and Becky (C's mom) is coming with us. She is now thinking of moving there as well, but first we all have to agree that we like it!
Cross those fingers, toes, legs, arms and eyes that I get a job this week.
