Shrewdness's Journal, 12 Mar 21

I am eating below my calories allotted, but all I’m doing is sitting doing reports. I can’t imagine how much I would’ve lost if I did any kind of exercise, shame on me!
My husband has a very specialized field, and he’s very good at what he does.
He works with specialized valves, in doing so, he works with NASA, SpaceX, pharmaceuticals companies, oil refineries, and all sorts of interesting projects. He worked with central USA, then his company six months ago started making him work with ALL of Canada as well. He doesn’t have time for that and was working for free off the clock, but he does well, so now they’ve decided to also give them ALL of South America yesterday - so yesterday he resigned.
I told him with the Lord‘s blessing will be OK, not to worry, (he was stressed and worried), by noon yesterday he had a job offer. The Lord is so good to us!!!! This morning he woke up happy. So I really wanna lose weight, because I’ll be meeting new people at his new job and I don’t wanna be known as the chubby wife. 😞
Find the true secret of life which is leaning on the Lord, and in doing so, taking care of the body He gave us. So for sure I’m going to do some exercising today. Feelsgoood recommended squats, since I haven’t done them in a while, it will be hard and I’m going to do it, something I can do in my office.👏
At least the light at the end of the tunnel has not been turned off due to budget cuts. 😊

Lots going on in your life right now; great news about your husband's new job! Great that you're ready to lose some weight, but do it for yourself, not for others. Good luck on your journey Shrewd! 💛

You are such an inspiration, in so many ways. So glad hubby has a new job and quickly too. You will drop, when I had time to read your last entry you were a pound heavier. You got this in more ways than one. Bless you!!

Shrewdness, you have lost almost 40 lbs., about 8 lbs in just the last 3 months - that is successful. Just keep on doing what you are doing. You already are winning.

Shrewdness, your husband did the right thing for himself and for you. There's usually a shining star in every work group. Someone with more experience, who knows more and can do more. That person generally ends up with more work and is challenged to a higher degree than coworkers, but not necessarily compensated more. Every career comes to a close and I can't remember anyone saying, "I wish I had spent more time at work".

Thank you Shirfleur, PrairieRains and Becky!😊❤️ Thank you Skydiverjim for the inspiration to keep going, sometimes it can be so frustrating and I tend to mess up now and then, but I’m not giving up, thank you!👍 Thank you Bearnoggin and Diane, so sweet.❤️ Les, you’re really hitting the nail on the head!!! Other great people there have left that company. It was a totally thankless job for him for all his dedication and hard work. He likes what he does, but he was miserable there. His boss even called him and asked how he could’ve improved how things were. My husband was just silent and said you could’ve at least answered the emails I have sent to you. These were emails usually to OK product for a customer, or returns because they have to go through his boss, who in turn, just wouldn’t answer. Very frustrating and embarrassing from my husband which equals stress. He is honoring his contract and he is staying there 30 days then he’s out out out. But, everything you said Les, is so true!!! He’s happy now and he’s out fishing today. Thank you for your kind words.😊👍 Everyone who has left that company are so much happier. His job was pretty secure no one else wanted to work there. My husband is too specialized not be appreciated. I know they’re worried now. Anyway I hope he catches big ones today.😊 Thanks again Les!👍
