I'M BAAAACCCKKK!!!! Hello, buddies! I'm back and so ready to go!</P><P>I want to update you all on some things that have been going on in my life. As of today I'm 150 lbs...so needless to say I've gained about 6 lbs over the past 3 months. I'm ok with that, because it's a lot better than where I thought I'd be. Here's what's been going on...this summer was rough. I wound up absolutely despising my job and was miserable. Needless to say, I stood my ground, decided I wouldn't get sucked into the corporate world, and was laid off for doing that! This happened over a week ago and guys, I am SO happy. I lost my spirit around June/July. That's pretty much why you stopped hearing from me. I had no life and was constantly working, which made my weekends that much better for me. I'd go nuts with my food.</P><P>In the past week and a half, I've tried getting all my ducks in a row and figuring out what I want to do with my life. So...I'm going back to school to become a Medical Assistant. Yes, I have my M.S. in Communications, but I've realized it's not for me. I wish I could've realized that before I got myself in $40,000 worth of school loans, but u know what...better I realize it now than later. </P><P>So school starts in January and until then I'm gonna take care of myself, be a good wife, find a part time job, and just enjoy life.</P><P>My parents and my husband all noticed how incredibly unhappy I was becoming, so when I was told I was being let go, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and I was elated.</P><P>I've missed you guys so much and I've missed focusing on my well-being and my body. This morning was the first time I did a good workout and I felt awesome.</P><P>Please know I'm still here, and I'm excited to catch up with everyone!!

You can't close one door without opening another, and it looks like you've done just that! I am not happy at my job either, and have also thought about going back to school for the very same thing, but... I'm not much into school! I wish you good luck, and I'm sure you will come out on top!!!! Now if only I can get myself fired.... ( ;

YAY I'm soooo happy you are back!! I have missed you!! I am back too and also trying to get back in the swing of things! I'm glad you are now "free" to live your life and be what you want to be. Its aweful to be stuck in a job you hate. I wish you all the best this world has to offer! : )

Welcome back! I had a crazy summer too and lost some time losing weight, but I'm feeling pretty motivated lately. I hear ya about school and student loans. You head to college at 18 and are supposed to know what you want to do with the rest of your life! Although I graduated from college in 1996 with only $14,000 in loans, it took 8 years to pay off. You can do it and you are right that it is more important to be happy.

I wasn't worried about you at all! I was sure you were enjoying that newley wed life. OH how I miss it lol! six pounds is not bad at all, just tell me how you are going to tackle it. I can use some help. Couldn't you use that degree for other things? Have you ever been in the medical field -its tough SO BEWARE! :)
