Ok - so last week I was walking through my lobby and my doorman was like,"Hey, are you on vacation?" hehe I said,"No, unfortunately I was laid off and I don't have a job right now..." "Awwww.... (awkward silence) I am sorry to hear that..."

I was on the elevator the other morning at a time that I would normally be leaving for work and instead had my gym clothes on - motivated to work out early that day. My neighbor on my floor got on the elevator with me." Ohhh do you have the day off?" She smiled. "Ummm... actually I am looking for a job right now..." he he.. uhhhh "Sorry.." smile fading...

Then Thursday I had an interview I was looking forward to it, preparing. Wednesdaymy best friend calls me at the end of the day... "I lost my job..." Nooooooooooo

Ok world - can we get back to normal already? Alright, great :)

So - last week working out every day and eating better. Getting outside everyday and being productive. How did I even have time for a job before? I feel so busy.. hehe

I had my personal trainer yesterday morning (I had 5 left with him at the location near my former office that I already paid for and need to use...) which was great.

I paid for the Corporate Challenge (for people that don't know it is a 5K race in Central Park sponsored by JP Morgan - Corporate stiffs all get out there and some run some walk) my former colleague and head of the running club got my t-shirt and number and gave them to me.... I am going to run the Un-Corporate Challenge! Well, I thought that it was either Tuesday or Wed night which I could have done... but Thomson is running Thursday so... maybe I will just try and run Wed and hope no-one notices- there are thousands and thousands of people.

Today I met with a recruiter who sounded positve about my background and I have a phone interview at 1... I haven't heard anything about the interview I went on on Thursday... so I mean it is cool to have this time off and hang out with my cat but I just worry about a month from now when my severance runs out and I am trying to live on unemploment which would not be cute ;)

Ok - so I didn't do laundry but I would say that I am getting a little bit better...

I actually worked out this morning... although I need to choose a different time to go I think. There is this older couple that work out anywhere between 10 and 11:30... the lady is very sour and gave me crap about the TV being on even though I could barely hear it. She reads a book on the bike... I can't do that while running lady - ok? Anyway, I got there first so tough cookies lady! I turned it down... I can't help it that I am working out during retired couple workout time!

Anyway, I met Jay for lunch - thereby getting me out of the house! Yes I showered and left the house - I get props. It was nice to have such a nice lunch companion - not like Pretzel is going to miss me... for long ;)

I had a phone interview with an HR person at an interesting company that went well - I got called back to come in on Friday for an interview. This will be the first one I go on... I wonder how my suit looks - I'll have to try it on. Hopefully it is a little cooler than it is today.

I also spoke to a recruiter this morning about another decent sounding position... I wish I could approach this as a vacation but it is hard to not be nervous about the uncertainty...

Soooo - it is ok that I haven't done the laundry and cleaning that I promised myself I would do - I have time!

Ok fill in the blank:
If I didn't have to go to work today I would_____.

I am sure it would not include watching inane tv (including Rachel Ray, What Not to Wear (can someone nominate me so I can get new clothes), and the Food Network...), shopping online (hello you can just do that at work!), and snuggling/spooning with fat lazy cat...

One upside is that I don't even have any food to nosh on - I haven't gone food shopping since I have been back. Otherwise I probably would be mindlessly snacking.

I am backsliding into non-productiveness which is not great. I mean I shouldn't beat myself up but the only thing that is getting me out of the house today is going to Westchester to see my mother and her cousin from Israel.

Oh yeah - all that time to work out and plan healthy meals - it is already almost 2 and I haven't done shit... I just showered and am contemplating not going anywhere due to lack of motivation and feeling of laziness...

You always think that if you had all this time you would do all these things! But I guess I feel like I have a cloud over my head right now and it is hard to shake.

Ok - I vow to exercise tomorrow and try and make a list of a few things I should aim to accomplish... today I will make myself go to Westchester to see mom...
