I am patiently waiting for a teaching job. I am going on 4 weeks of having my information turned into the education office and they still have not called me for orientation. Apparently they wait until there are enough people to do orientation... I applied to teach at a Christian school as well, and am waiting for them to process my application (which was 4 pages long) and receive my references. In the meantime I am not working much and boredom is settling in. I am doing my best stay busy. Not being a big shopper, I have invited my 82 year-old great-aunt to lunch with me on Wednesday and I have embarked on the journey of re-reading all Jane Austin novels. I forgot how great they are!
I am also on the seemingly constant pursuit of weight loss. Yes, I'm dieting. I work out constantly and am very active. I could eat lettuce for a month and gain weight. While sharing this lament with my doctor the other day, she shared the news that birth control pills (mine in particular) make you hungrier and therefore weight gain is inevitable. Oh boy! However, I have been making South Beach Diet recipes which I started after my bout with the stomach flu and lo and behold I have lost 7 lbs.! I have come to the conclusion that eating healthy starches and eliminating sugars or foods that your body turns into sugars really is a great way to shed some pounds in a healthy way. Oh, and snacking all day is not a bad thing :)
Jake and I are great. I'm really excited about teaching, and I'm off to a yoga class tonight.
