Show me the money!

Guess who got a raise today!?!?! This girl! Last year I negotiated a two part raise, with part two starting in September, 2013 (now). I got a letter yesterday about a raise, but it was much less than we had previously agreed on... well... I dug around and found an old email with the original agreement all laid out, and by the time I came into work this morning, I had my original agreement back. Woohoo! At the end of the day, it won't turn out to be a huge increase in my paychecks at all, but even a little extra is nice, especially with the wedding around the corner! I'm very proud that I was persistent enough last year to negotiate the raise I did, and equally proud that I made sure they followed through and kept their word. Go me.

A Dolla Makes Me Holla!!!!

Ok, other than that... yesterday (Tuesday) was incredibly frustrating on the whole, but I was very proud of myself for not running for a Diet Coke or giant cookie. But alas, I was 0.4 pounds heavier this morning. I know that's not a big deal, but as it's 5:11pm and I'm still thinking about it... it clearly is somewhat of a big deal to me. I knew weighing every day was a bad idea, but I will keep doing it and sticking to Seetha's plan. Hopefully the results will give her more knowledge and help guide me even better. Job #1's opening night (where I'll dress up) is a week from tomorrow, and I'm going to try on wedding dresses two days after that, so I canNOT give up now. I've been feeling a little better about myself and I'd like go into wedding dress shopping with that feeling still.

Ok friends, time to dash home, try to do a little yoga, make dinner, and then head to meditation class. It does feel funny to rush rush rush just so I can go meditate, but hey, I've got a lot to do!
