Speed Bumps and Uphill Battles

This past week has been a real pain in the backside - an emotional rollercoaster and exhausting. I have been feeling sick or on the verge of getting sick and feeling run down. I have spent a lot of time looking for work and worrying and stressing. I didn't get in as much biking as the previous week. Only 62 2/3 miles in 3.5 hours - I also took a long break from riding and just got back on the bike again for an hour yesterday.

Weight loss last week was around 3 pounds but it all came back and I am reloosing the same weight again this week. It stinks but it is normal, the body does its thing to normalize things all the time and it will come off again soon. Looking forward to riding the bike this evening to blow off some stress and steam.

Weather is looking good for swimming soon and I spent some time getting the pool ready for swimming season on Saturday and even got in the pool - it was cold getting in but very nice afterwards and not chilly at all. 11 yr old scouts are coming over this evening to use the pool to pass off swimming reqs for rank advancement.

I want to thank the 2 newest contributors to my fund raiser - I know who you are and I thank you sincerely!

Had a few job interviews this week (last week I was hired part time at Wal-mart but no word on the results of my drug test - cross your fingers). I interviewed for a programming position and for a Level III Operations position with Wells Fargo. I have an interview lined up with Dish Network this Friday for a call center position.
