Monday Weigh-In and Job Interview

First thing's first - Monday weigh-in: 309.2 (-2.6 pounds from last week). Five days last week I had calorie deficits between 1300 and 1600. Over the weekend, I allowed myself a couple of higher-calorie days, resulting in one break-even day and one 500 calorie deficit.

Workout summary: I had a total of 12 miles walked plus two workout DVD's and and one outdoor walk/run. If I can't get my treadmill fixed I'm going to need some warmer running clothes - it's getting a bit chilly for capris and tank tops.

In other news, I had a job interview this morning for an accounting position at our local medical center. I was a bit nervous, since I haven't had a job interview in seven years. I did some research on Thursday evening about job interview tips and common questions, jotted down a few things to ask, and printed out a copy of my resume along with the job announcement to take with me. Being prepared and/or organized helps relax me a bit, but then I told myself not to think about it for the rest of the weekend, so I wouldn't obsess.


 I think things went pretty well. I had answers for the questions they asked me and didn't have any "deer-in-the-headlights" moments. They seemed impressed with my qualifications and my answers, so we'll have to see how it goes. This is the first job I've ever applied for that didn't have a fixed pay rate listed in the announcement, so I'll have to see if they are willing to pay the amount I would need in order to change jobs. If they are interested in hiring me, that's going to be an uncomfortable conversation... I hate talking about money.

Plan for this week: keep up regular walks at work, at least one after-work run and two morning workouts during the week with at least one weekend run.

Happy Monday, all!
