Life & such.
I had a pretty good meeting at Weight Watchers on Tuesday. The official scale confirmed what I had already believed: I almost lost 5 kg. I'm at a total of 4.8 kg (10.5 lbs); a result I'm really, really proud of. I'm definitely also starting to see the first changes of my body and how more and more clothes fit me better. The dress I bought before Christmas for the company Christmas party looks absolutely gorgeous on me now. I love the feeling of loving myself and my body more!
I've started to notice that I fall back into old habits every once in a while, like not eating enough fruit and veggies and just planing poorly. I'll try to pay more attention to that again.
Things are finally moving ahead with my transfer to New York. The visa has been officially filed for on Thursday night, meaning that the 15 (business) days for the USICS to review and decide on the application started on Friday. The next three weeks are going to be hell. O.o Meanwhile, the company to assist me with my relocation reached out to me and sent me a bunch of files. I'll review those files tomorrow and then on Monday I'll talk to the lovely lady on the phone to clear potential questions.
I still can't believe this whole thing is supposed to happen and that it's supposed to happen so soon. It's only five more frigging weeks. Today in five weeks I'm possibly in New York! I'm starting to freak out a little with regard to the timings. I still have so much to do here, both at work and my personal life with the preparations for the move and I don't know when I'm supposed to organize it all. I also still have two weeks of paid vacation left that I really want and need to take. I'd rather not start a new job at a high stress level. I'm starting to consider to ask the NYC office whether they maybe can push back the start date by a week or two. Depending on how fast the USICS application goes through, I suppose.
Next weekend I'll be doing taxes. Crazy shit.
