Ok I know, I tend to disappear. Sorry about that. The past two weeks in my life have been a little interesting.

First, I had a really bad sinus infection. Today was my last day on antibiotics. This sinus problem is horrible, I hope that some day I can get some kind of surgery to get rid of it. It is terrible because it lasts for around two weeks, once it hits. It just makes me miserable!

Second, I accepted an offer for a new job! It will still be in support of the SEALS, but I will not be working directly for them. It makes me really sad, because I really enjoyed working with them. I can honestly say that it was the best job i ever had! They are a great group to work for!

For the past two weeks I have been under a lot of stress because of my sickness and also because I was starting a new job. I have not done my best with the diet and exercising. I am ashamed to admit it, but the sickness did not motivate me to diet or exercise. I have to come to realize that my health has always been in the way of my weight loss. Not only now, but forever. I could dwell on it or move one. As always, I choose to move on. Tomorrow is a new day and I will put in my best effort.

Being that I work with spreadsheets every day, I created my weight loss spreadsheet. I realized that with the couple weeks that I have left the contest, I still have a chance to lose at least 15 more pounds. I pray that nothing comes in the way and promise to do my best.

Ok, gotta’ go. My eight year old Arianna say’s good night to everybody!!
