Updates
Well, here is a brief update on my life at the moment:
Job - the new job is going fantastically! I'm really getting into a groove here and have made myself useful from day 1. I've been awfully busy and I get home exhausted, but that's OK. It is great working for a company that really cares about its employees.
Family Life - Margie and I have been carpooling for several weeks now and we really like it. It is fun to be able to talk with each other every AM and in the afternoons. We also started going to the gym together three times a week and we've been enjoying the routine. Good stuff!
Other - we have decided we want to buy a home in the Phoenix area. We have a great place right now (owned by my sister) but we'd like to start building some equity ourselves. I have a friend that is a real estate agent who will be helping us in our search. We went to a few open houses last weekend and will be going to more this weekend just to help us figure out what areas we like and see some features of homes that we really would like to have in our new house. With all of the incentives right now from the government and from sellers, now is the PERFECT time to buy a home.
Lastly - my Beloved entered me into a contest with a radio station last week called the 'chubby hubby' contest. Essentially the wives entered their husbands to win several weeks of weight loss consultations with a new company here in Phoenix named Natural Weight for Optimized Living. There are 30 entries right now and people vote to select 5 that will be officially entered on the contest. Those 5 will receive 8 or 10 weeks of guidance from the Natural Weight offices. At the end of those weeks, the 'after' pictures will be posted and people will vote on the one winner. The overall winner will receive one additional year of the program and $1000. This is just the kind of thing I need to 'jump start' my weight loss. Honestly I don't care about the $1000, but I really would LOVE to be a member of the program for one year. Based on the results I know I am capable of through similar programs (WW for example) I can see myself loosing 100+ in the next year. I would LOVE that!
SO - if everyone here could please vote for me:
