Too Much Fun and Beer Strike Again

My roommate, me, and her sister

High School Friends Clark, Megan and I

Weigh in day today, up two pounds. I know exactly why I am up those pounds. Too much fun with too much beer. My roommate and I held a potluck at our place on Saturday. Potlucks aren't really known for having the healthiest foods, and ours was no different. We did have a great time though. After eating we went to a bar in East Sac and closed the place down. I really had a blast. And Sunday was a 'recovery' day which was spent on the couch with three movies. If you have been reading along it has been a struggle with me to find a balance in losing weight and wanting to drink and have a good time with friends. I just need to be better at getting back on track after a night out. As weird as this might sound, I wouldn't trade that night out with friends for the two 'found pounds'. And I shouldn't be blaming it all on the beer either, I haven't gone to the gym since Thursday. I need to get back to that place ASAP! And this week starting today is a no beer week. Which is going to be hard since we still have a dozen beers in the fridge :)

I have also been super stressed this week about finding a job. I had to file a new unemployment claim to see if I qualify for more time on unemployment. I sent off information to EDD yesterday, and am hoping to find out by the end of the week what is going on with that. If I understand correctly, regardless of if I am eligible for a new claim I will still receive the 8 or so weeks I still had on my extension. I just can't wait until I have a steady job. The 50+ applications I send out haven't yielded anything yet, but they are for the state, and things always move slower there I am told.

I did have to stop by my old district to get the information for EDD, and when I did I wanted to make sure that I was still on the Substitute Teaching List for next year. I was, but my TB test had expired. The secretary who helped me was SUPER nice, and gave me a form to take to a clinic to get tested and they would pay for it. SCORE! Since I don't have health insurance I was super excited to hear that they would pay for it!

This week's goals: No beer, eat better, get to the gym at least 4 days! (and do laundry... but that's different)
