McKenzie is in Medford directing at the regional all week. I stayed home for a few reasons. First, I don't have a partner in Medford during the week anyway, and I'd rather be at home with not much to do than in Medford with not much to do. It's a lot harder for me to stick to a good eating/exercise plan when I'm on the road, so that's a big part of it. Second, I'm hoping to start doing some job training this week, and that means I need to be in the area probably, although it sounds like the first part of WW training I'll do is online. Still waiting for details about that. I keep getting emails from various managers saying "welcome aboard, so-and-so will contact you soon about training...) and the last one said I'd get a packet in the mail with details about online training, so...I don't really know what's next, but I am anxious to get on with it. I'm also hoping to get an offer from one of the other jobs I interviewed for, and if I do, I could theoretically start this week.
I am going down to Medford for the weekend to compete in the Flight A GNT. There are five of us on the team, so I'll be rotating partnerships with Chris and Laurie. Chris has another team for the Superflight event, which he won yesterday, so if we do win this weekend, he won't be on our team in Philly. I know a couple other members of the team are lukewarm at best on the Philadelphia thing, so while I love to win, it would be kind of a relief if we don't. Playing in the GNT's adds basically a whole week to the time I have to take off from whatever job or jobs I will be working by then, and obviously I'd rather not do that, though both WW and my prospective employer have been pretty cool about it.
This afternoon, I have a training session with Ertan. Dude is killer and I'm still a little sore from our last one, but the results are amazing. I'm so much more toned than I was before I started working with him, and way stronger. I push myself harder when I'm not with him, too, though I have felt like I've plateaued a little bit lately. Part of it is that I've been doing a lot of travel, and it's not a plateau so much as a yo-yo, where I backtrack a little bit while I'm away, and then catch up again when I get back. I have a few weeks in a row here at home now, so I'm pushing to break through this wall. In keeping with that goal, I signed up for another 5K. It's a church-sponsored one, and the proceeds go to some ministry thing, which I'm not thrilled about, but it's a lot cheaper than the other one going on the same weekend, and I like the course a lot. I have a bunch of friends on board to do it with me, too. Look at me just fundraising for the church.
Tomorrow, I'm going out with Shanon and Lorie for some girl time, and that's really all I have on my schedule for now. The apartment is a colossal mess, and I'm sure Z would appreciate it if I did something about that. Shit, I would appreciate it if I did something about it! But I don't wanna...
