I've missed you guys so much!!! I've been so busy I haven't had much time to be on.

First off,

found me on Tuesday

She was a day late, but sure made me pay for it - I had cramps FOREVER and it sucked.

My new job is going ok. My boss was out of the office traveling all last week, and then came down with a cold this week, so I have basically been on my own trying to do stuff via email. It's crazy and I'm not a big fan...hopefully we'll get on track soon. I don't feel like I've found my niche yet.

I've started

. I start a bootcamp program next week - Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays I'll be at the gym for an hour. It's cardio and weights and stuff. It is a 6 week program so I'm hoping to be much more in shape at the end. That will be late-April, so I'll have a little bit longer before bikini season. My IRL best friend is doing it with me, so I'm super excited. My goal is to get back down to an 8. I'm at a 10 or 12 now, at one time I was a 6 but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy to skinny. I think 8 is a good number. I am 5'8" and about 150 lbs, so not terribly overweight but would like to tone up. My DH and I are trying to walk 500 miles by May 31 - we get miles for classes we do, and we walk the dog every night, so it should be possible.

Other than that, not much else to report. We've had some 70* weather here, so it's been a nice break from cold. I'm ready for spring and flowers and green and shorts.

I hope everyone is doing well.

to all the newbies!!!

Tiffany - I was wondering where you had run off too! I am glad working is going ok. Don't worry before you know it you will be rockin that place. Good luck on the weight loss. You need to jump into our Weight Loss threads everyday. I used to work out with a gf and it was great. We were the perfect motivation for each other. I really hope that works out for you. My DH and I are ready for the nice weather too. We started building our deck last weekend and I we should finish this weekend. I think I want to get some pretty flowers to plant and get in the mood for spring. A good positive way to make a baby! Glad you are back...don't become a stranger again!

Hey Tiffany!!!!! So good to hear from you! I'm sure no matter how much your not loving your current situation at your new job it's still a million times better than where you were. Being new always stinks, you'll get into the groove of things before too long and I'm sure you'll love it!

Getting in better shape is always a great thing even if you aren't trying to lose a ton of weight.

Good Luck with everything and check in as often as you can.

Tiffany - I'm glad the new job is going well for you, pretty soon you will have the hang of it.

Good job with the exercise. We are all trying so hard to look better by summer. Keep us posted on the boot camp. That sounds like a great way to slim down.
