Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 04 November 2014

Day 3 of my madness was a success! It also got me back down to 190.0 lbs. Hello 190, I hope to say goodbye to you soon. I'd love to be in the 180's by the end of this week. Day 4 is going well too except for those darn pretzel nuggets. Evil lil buggers. You can't eat just one. Then before you know it you've eaten 3 servings because well.. its fun to pop nuggets into your mouth and they aren't mini candy bars. The co-workers have been trick or treating in reverse. They bring their kids candy to work then go cube to cube leaving evil wrapped in a mini wrapper. I only chucked one candy bar at someone's head. Mostly because they insisted on watching me eat it instead of letting me politely accept it then chuck it over my head into the cube next to me. So far I haven't heard any ows.. so? Well todays cube forecast is raining kitkats. And my co-worker thinks I love her. Which I do but I'm also using her as a sugar dispensery.

I have run into a teeny tiny hiccup on the no sugar for a month plan. My bosses birthday is Thursday. We're supposed to get her a cheesecake. Is there an unsuspicious way to get your boss a cake then insist she eat the entire thing while you only watch? I don't think I can pull it off. I'm afraid she will think I poisoned it or something. Which should tell you loads about our relationship but it is what it is and I'm stuck. I attempted to apply for another position at the company but I had an issue.. I have so much baby brain the hiring manager would ask me a question and I would forget what the question was half way through answering it. Then we would stare blankly at each other. Turns out I didn't have enough manager experience anyways.. I guess that's what I get attempting to jump two managerial levels higher. But hey.. I had to try and well a lack of sleep gives you a what the H! attitude. Plus I got lots of good advice on how to move up the ladder someday. And I think it's motivated me to try out for other jobs. What can it hurt? I'm dillusional enough that I think I could find a fun job. I just have to get over that thing where I forget what I'm talking about mid sentence. I think the baby needs cereal. Maybe with a lil cereal the lil guy will sleep more than 3 hours at a time or 2 hours. Last night was 2 hours. 2 freaking hours!!! *slump and drool*

Maybe the interviewer will think you were deep & mysterious .. and hire you for your wisdom & creativity. That's what I'd be telling myself. I live on hope.

You're doing great with the no sugar! Can you pass everyone else out cheesecake, then somehow you not have a piece? If you've ever seen the movie "Office Space", you could be Milton, standing there with no cake. I applied for a different job recently and I didn't get it either, but it's great to be open to the process and try for other new things, that's kind of what I got out of it too. I hope you get some sleep and get your fitness challenge done. :)

Congratulations on the 190's I am looking forward to that some day.

You are amazing!!!

Haha! I agree with Mars' idea - cut the slices big and then just say 'oops! forgot to leave some for myself' If all else fails there's the honest 'none for me, thanks, baby weight...' line. I think it's good you went for the position. You definitely wouldn't get it if you didn't try!

You are hilarious! I love it. And I can relate to the candy at work thing - I have even done it myself. Bring the leftover candy to work. Sorry -my bad. Congrats on the 190!!

This time of year we have a birthday every other week in our office, and of course we always have to get cake. Last year I would nibble a piece to be polite, but this year I've just been saying "No, thank you!" very cheerfully. After a while everyone got used to it and now they just expect me to not eat cake (but I still hang around and chat).

Take a slice of cheesecake, take one bite, then put it down and leave the room.

Mmm you could always say little guy stays up even more at night if you eat sugar. Honestly, my oldest did things like that when she was tiny. I have also had interviews with different departments recently. Was finally offered one, would have liked it but the pay was the same without differential or chance for bonus in the spring. Turned it down, can't afford the decrease in pay.

Use stevia for the cheesecake so you can share it :) I am sure the right position will present itself to you when you are ready, and had a good night's sleep. I however think you should definitely write professionally.
