Day 22: Down .8 and .7

Jami: 146.9
Justin: 190.2

Justin is dying with this 190 barrier, poor guy! It's his hump, he'll be over it by the end of the weekend I am sure. Thankfully we don't have to lay insulation or any other laborious stuff. It's going to be a nice and relaxing weekend.

Yesterday was another perfect day of eating for me, flavored coffee and all. Given my results I am refusing to give up the flavored coffee. Let me tell you, Justin got me a Keurig coffee maker for Christmas and some of their holiday blends too. The Golden French Toast, Butter Toffee, and Spicy Eggnog taste like candy for breakfast.

One thing I have been thinking about is reevaluating my goals. I have had 135 as a weight goal in my head for almost five years now. It's the pinnacle weight from college. But, as I think all of you know, I bought fake tits 18 months ago (BEST purchase EVER). They weigh 5 pounds total. My tits in college might have weighed a pound total. So maybe 140 is a more realistic goal. Honestly, I am just 7 pounds away from that, and I can see that I don't have 12 pounds to lose. Matter of fact, my 'skinny' jeans slid on no problem this morning. I am even sporting a belt to keep them up, AND no muffin top! Justin says don't change my goal... Hmmm, I guess for now I won't. I'll decide next week.

It was an insane week too! Worked late every night. Good news is, I am back on track - close enough anyway - and my boss saw me booking the overtime. That's good because with Justin going skiing next week, I will have to have shorter days Wednesday - Friday. Did I mention I LOVE my job? My boss is so great and flexible. And he knows I am running circles around my office mate. Which reminds me to tell you all what happened when I stayed late Thursday. I finally had my meeting with the CPA. Back track, the CPA is part time acting CFO and the closest thing that office mate and I have to a Supervisor. No one else in the office wants anything to do with numbers, they just want their reports on time and accurate. So, the CPA comes in once a week to work with office mate on the accounting stuff. No joke, he spends ZERO time with me. He reviews my invoices and recons and such via email and I hardly ever have any issues. He spends about 8 hours each time 'teaching' office mate what he is doing wrong...over and over and over again. So all these months the CPA has been helping omtk (office mate the kink - nick name) with all his work. What he didn't know about were all the mistakes omtk makes that affect my work. And it's stupid stuff, the same coding errors over and over. Honestly, I can forgive that. His duties are beyond his comprehension and he is overwhelmed by that. What I cannot forgive is his attitude. Every time anyone finds a mistake of his he has a quick excuse and an instant refusal to fix it. So, the CPA had no idea the amount of mistakes nor that I spend half my time fixing them. All in all, it was a very productive meeting. The CPA is still giving omtk a chance to improve (I guess I would have to royally f*** up to lose my job) but at least now there are specifics he can improve. Phew...man I wish I could just hire my own payroll specialist! Lol, omtk had to take some more payroll training yesterday too. He is relearning AGAIN how to run payroll - because all the pieces I handle before he clicks the 'Run Payroll' button is still over his head. It was so painful to hear him ask questions. He literally does not understand the difference between pay groups and employee types. Still...after almost 3 years! So sad.

Anyway, it is time to go grocery shopping. As for the race: Lauren - 9, Justin - 2, Jami - 6. Lauren was down a good 2.0 yesterday, and is in NC for the weekend.

Pounds to go:

Jami: 11.9 (Total lost this round: 17.0)
Justin: 15.7
