Whew, what a week it has been! Last week, I lost my job. For the first time in 8 years, I don't have to get up and go to work. Now THAT is a crazy feeling. But I have a lot of mixed emotions right now. On the one hand, it's scary. But on the other, it's liberating. I was very unhappy, and things were taking a toll on me. Now I have a chance to regroup while I'm looking for a new workplace home. What's more, I get to spend the days with my baby boy - I can't ask for better than that! And now I have literally NO excuse not to blog more regularly!
On the upside, I lost 1.8 pounds last week! I have always heard that cortisol, the hormone that your body creates under stress (or something like that - help me out science types!) can cause you to hold on to weight. But I never really believed that stress was keeping me fat. But now that I am significantly less stressed, I see a big loss on the scale, despite consoling myself with my friends Ben and Jerry. It's definitely something to think about...
