I'm going to have to keep track of the exercise minutes in exchange for wine on FJORDS!! Right now I only have wine or a cocktail on Saturday nights.

Had another great week - down 2.5 lbs for a grand total of 81 gone! I have 2 weeks before FJORDS, and it was my goal to have lost 85 lbs before heading to Copenhagen, so I'm right on target.

Having lost this weight has made me a changed person. I cannot believe the amount of energy I have. My group at work moved yesterday to a new floor that was recently built out for us. I was at the office from 6:45 am until 5:45 pm and felt just like the energizer bunny as I ran around finishing last minute packing along with getting my usual work finished.

Even better, I was asked earlier this week by the director of my department to be her executive assistant!! Some of you know I've been pretty tired of my job for quite some time - I'm basically the office manager - and have been yearning to do something different. Her current assistant (who has only been working with her for 2 months) has decided it's not a good fit (actually - it's mutual) and has started looking for another job. So, I feel really honored that she asked me because I know we're going to make a great team.

It's amazing how losing some weight can change a person's life!!
