     Started work on November 28, in a field that is totally new to me. I will be a provider representative in a call center, answering phones with questions on benefits, eligibility and claims.  There is a seven week training course, and I am already about half way through and don't feel that I know that much yet.  A lot of different systems on the computer and many places to look for information.  I really have no doubt that once I learn it, it will be a breeze, but I do think the next few months will be a test....

     With the new job, comes many lifestyle changes.  I'll be sitting at a desk for eight hours a day (I'm going to see if I can work four ten hour shifts, but I think those with seniority grab those shifts pretty quickly).  I have only gone to the Y once in the past three weeks, but my weight is holding steady.

     Through my work, I can get a discount with Nutri-system and am seriously thinking of a two month go with them to see if I can drop the next twenty pounds or so.  I have been doing fine with my eating, but feel that my motivation is not the same as it has been, or should be.  If I do, it will be with the first of the year....
