More Loss - Looking for a Triumph

Things have been weird for me lately. I lost my job on April 15th. I've been searching for a new job, but it's really different than it was 10 or so years ago when I was last out looking for a job. I have put in over 18 applications. So far I have been to two interviews. I have a second interview Monday, and new interviews on Monday and Thursday.  Let's hope things turn themselves around for me.

My weight is all over the place. I just don't seem to care what I eat these days. I have seriously cut down on sweets, but I have increased other types of snacks, and not the fruits & vegetables kind.

On that note, does  anyone know of a reasonably priced personal trainer who can help me get in shape so that I can pass pre-employment physicals and testings? The prison requires a stint at the training academy. The DMV requires getting in and out of Semi trucks (tractors), as well as lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds.  The social work position I was contacted for needs the ability to carry a child up to 50 pounds or a car seat up and down stairs repeatedly. Whew, it tells me how complacent I was getting.

On a happy note, my job loss seems to have helped me and my BFF rekindle and add a little oomph back into our friendship. It's been really nice.

I'm going to leave you to watch a funny video, until next time:
