Today was great! Okay, the morning wasn’t. I had my second shift and it wasn’t much better than yesterday’s. It still felt like all I do is move things from one side of the store to the other. Plus, the traffic on the way there was horrible. At least I remembered to wear comfortable shoes, unlike yesterday.
Luckily, I finally got in contact with the guy handling my other job application (after a serious round of phone tag) and he told me that I could be starting as early as next week, depending how quickly they can get the paperwork sorted. That certainly made the rest of my day a lot better! I can’t wait to never go back to the place I worked today. Like I’ve mentioned previously, I do feel kind of bad about putting them out and just up and leaving, but ultimately I have to do what feels right and I can tell you right now, that job doesn’t.
I got home to a beautiful day, not too hot, but lovely and sunny. I caught up on some TV then decided to go for my walk. It was nice to be outside in the fresh air (as it always is) but I still really struggle under the sun. You’d think now it’s been nice weather for a few weeks my body would start adjusting from winter-mode, but it isn’t. Still, my tan is coming along nicely (probably better than it was at the end of summer last year, thanks to my workaholic ways and at-home-hermiting) and I feel like even if the scales aren’t moving, that I’m losing certimetres from my waist.
When I got home I was a little bit naughty and had pizza for dinner. I know, it’s not good but I decided to treat myself after an awful couple of days, and I still managed to stay under my calorie limit for the day. Plus, I hit over 8000 steps today, a new personal best! Back onto the diet tomorrow!
Hope everyone had a great day 🙂

It’s all about progress and you’re definitely making progress! Congrats regarding the job! In this day and age, if you can get a better job, there’s really not much reason to stay at one that’s not good for you.

Yeah, that’s what I’m trying to tell myself. Doesn’t stop me feeling guilty about wasting their time but the last thing I need is to be stuck in a job I hate!
