It's a contract position in collections, but I'll take it! They want me until the end of the year. Whew!! 
I had applied for everything under the sun in medical billing as well as collections, but nothing was happening - until now! I'm in school for my medical coding certificate, but that will take another year or so to complete. In the meantime, I am once again employed! Yeehaw!!!!!!! 
It's Been A While
Aug 06, 2008
Well, I've been out of the loop for a while, not really wanting to read the OH forum and losing focus where my weight loss is concerned.
I've gained and lost the same 3-4 pounds for the past 3 months. It's been pretty frustrating, but I think I've finally turned the corner on this self induced plateau. 
Luckily I've continued my workouts, so my weight gain hasn't been as bad as it could be. Wish me luck!! 
Just Another Day At The Office...Or Is It?
May 08, 2008
Ok, the bad news is I got laid off last week. 
But the GOOD news is I've lost 31 pounds!!!! 
I know, I know, weight loss doesn't pay the bills, but looking good in an interview sure helps my chances. I really don't have a bad thing to say about my former employer. It's still an awesome company that was just having some growing pains. They made big time cutbacks worldwide--about 10% of their workforce was let go. Oh, well...I've got some good leads out there, so I'm not stressing too much. Been able to get some much needed stuff done around the house, spend time w/the spouse (he works weekend nights) and just relax a little bit. 
That's all I have for today. Peace out. 
Deep Thoughts By CKat

It's definitely getting easier to stay on track and keep my focus. Although those first few weeks were pretty damn tough. 
But I'm over the hump and feel a lot better about things. I've started exercising which makes me feel even better. I've got practically a whole new wardrobe now from clothes I hadn't been able to fit in to. 
Life is definitely what you make of it, and I plan to stick around and see what it's all about!!
