Back from the Dead, Live from the UK

Ahoy people !

I know I haven't posted in a longtime, but I'm just like that. I can blog every day during 4 months, then not show up on your blog roll for 2 other months. I should be more disciplined, I apologise.

A lot of new things happened recently. I took about 2 months off Weight Watchers, just because it was driving me crazy. I need to start again, but I really feel like it's poisoning my life. I can't eat whatever I want in whatever quantity I want, I know it's just common sense, but still. I just felt like a prisoner. I am concentrating on eating healthy foods in reasonable quantities, because that's just common sense. And I know WW is common sense too, but I don't want to feel bound by it. I was 137 pounds when I stopped, I'm now 146, but have been maintaining for 3-4 weeks now. I need to make that last weight loss effort to get to 130, then start that maintenance.

Also, I quit my job at Air Canada Vacations. I was tired of being the "yelled at" person, was tired of not being able to go up the ladder. So I applied to be a project manager at a translation company, where one of my friends works, and yes, I got hired. I am starting on July 2nd, 3 days after I come back to Canada from the UK. (Because yes, I'm in the UK right now.)

So yeah, that's the news. Want to know more about what I have done so far since I'm the other side of the Atlantic ocean ? There will be another post about it shortly =) Got to go now, we're having a BBQ tonight !!!

Wow...

I almost never post. What's happening with moi ? Actually, plenty of things xD

I'm going to the UK in June, that's for sure. Trip is booked and paid for, this is for real ! Even though it's going to be my 3rd time over there, I bet there are tons of things I haven't seen yet that I have to discover this time. We'll see =)

Also, news and updates regarding the breast cancer run, I am able to run the full 5km now. I am so glad ! I just need to reduce my time to 30 minutes and my goal will be reached. I feel like I went beyond myself with all my heart and strenght to help breast cancer victims, and each time I run, I push myself ahrder and harder, because running is so much easier than leading the battle for your own life. There's a meaning to each and every step, and that's what makes it so wonderful.

Change of subject, I'm starting to like action movies even more, I think I'm turning into my husband. That is SO weird ! I changed A LOT in the past few months. Physically (lost 21 pounds up to date, 17 of them left to lose. GO MOI !) and psychologically as well. I think this is for the better. I take care of myself a lot more, buy nicer clothes, I'm totally rebuilding my self-confidence. I love it. Thanks to everyone cheering me up after each weight-in, without you guys, I would probably have given up already. Special thanks to my co-worker Eve. She's going through the same thing as me right now and she's my biggest inspiration right now. We support each other, and that how we make our journey a success.

I'm leaving you on a second Vlog entry posted 2-3 weeks ago on my YouTube. See the change in mood. I love myself now. Finally.
