I knew this was coming and yet I find myself still taken aback. Our furlough hours have been increased. Our offices will be closed every other Friday beginning this Friday through June 2010. I can only guess what the next fiscal year will hold. I know it will not be pleasant.
On top of that I weighed. I know my eating has been 'off' at best and yet that number ... 189 ... was hard to see. I haven't put it in yet ... I will ... I just couldn't face the music this morning.
One would think I would be excited about three-day weekends ... and I guess I would be if finances weren't so tight. I know I am not alone in this experience of being impacted in the workplace by our economy. I should be grateful I am not being laid off, grateful I still have a job with health benefits, I know I should be grateful.
In terms of the weight gain I do know what to do to bring it back in range. I must remember I cannot afford to buy new clothes so I MUST do what I need to do. More food in my belly is not going to make dealing with these stresses any easier.
My apologies that this isn't more 'upbeat' ... sort of a blue Monday. It is probably very important however that I take a few moments and ponder what I am grateful for ....
1. While times are tough I do still have a job and that is good
2. I was brave enough to weigh today
3. The temps are supposed to be in the 50's for the next few days
4. The daily trips to Post Falls for radiation are done
5. Knowing, deep down inside, that things will work out, one way or another.
Take care of yourselves ...

I guess everyone who has a job is lucky to have that job right now - even me - but that doesn't mean we are totally, 100% happy with it. Its OK to be bummed about the cutbacks - it sucks! Hopefully, sooner than later, they will reverse it, and you will get your hours back.

You don't have to be grateful for unwanted cuts in pay. Really you don't. But, as you know, you do have to move forward and you will. Deep breaths, Moose. It is almost over--truly, I feel it. Always darkest before the dawn, right? And hey, radiation is over! Hallelujah!

I hope you can start to count your blessings about your days off, more at home time, don't have to spend $ for that days worth of driving/lunch/dressing up, you can focus on a project we never get done at home, maybe enjoy YOU time, gosh I am getting jealous of your forced days off lol Hoping to cheer you up some about it. Anyway, the scale hit hard and you know just what to do to fix it. I know you do, you know you do.

Three day weekends must have something going for them and at least we are hopefully going towards the better weather. The money aspect isn't too good, but look on the bright side - no money for food and the weight will come off :) With a static income that seems to buy less and less every week, I look back on the times when hours were reduced with fondness. You know we're going to hit those scales right on the dial this week.

Oh Moose so sorry about work. You are right it is great to work only 4 days if money isn't tight but I couldn't do it right now either. I still don't even know what is happening with my job. Still waiting and wondering. Lets be grateful that at least for today we both have a job.

I feel your pain hon - they just laid off 2 guys today and more to come tomorrow. Everyone is on pins and needles. I'm so glad you stopped to think what you're grateful for - you're a terrific example! Hang in there!

I like your #2. I'm trying to work up the courage to get up on that scale myself after seeing a substantial gain. But that's what helps to keep us honest, right? Sorry to hear about the cutbacks at your job. Hope things get better quickly! 50's?! That's great! I'd be wearing shorts and T-shirts outside if it ever got to 50 here! Keep hanging in there...... (((((HUGS)))))

You shouldn't be afraid to record dramatic highs, believe me it helps. However, you *must* do it your own way, otherwise it will not work. The job situation is stagnant at best, like Momo said *everyone* is having a hard time. I can understand your being blue and will wait for today's post. You are a very aware person, *nothing* will keep you down for long. Hang on moose...

The sucky economy is hitting everyone hard. I continue to count my blessings and say a silent prayer for the YOUNG poeple just starting out. We will make it somehow. A little shifting here and economizing there! Let's both puch that scale number down down down before we "register" with Fat Secret! MUCH LOVE.
