Guess who got the promotion this time? This girl !

So here are the CONS:
I wont work from home 4 days a week.
I wont see a increase in pay until Aug bc I just got a raise April 30
I wont get to be with my cats all day or
run errands on my lunch
or work in yoga pants
or watch TV while I work.
And most important, I prolly wont get to work out before work
or have access to my kitchen all day.

Here are the PROS:
I get to buy a lot of new clothes bc all my old stuff is too big.
Ill get a raise in Aug (i dont start the new job till 07/11 so month in),which I wouldn't have otherwise gotten until April of 2017.
I get to move up the food chain at work and basically and the top of that said food chain right under management.
It is a promotion and comes with recognition and respect.
Ill get to get out of the house after working at home for 4 yrs (I was getting cabin fever).
Even though I wont have my kitchen I this this is actually good bc ill plan all my meals ahead and actually stick to them
and no temptation. Our company is green company and there's nothing but healthy drinks and snacks at our corp office..And Ill be at my corp HQ !!

My current dept is/was being absorbed into another department that I worked my butt off to get outta of, and I got out just in time bc this "transition" takes place over the next few weeks and Im actually assisting with the transition since Im leaving and will need to set up people in my place. Anyway this isn't really diet or exercise related but maybe sorta bc it will positively effect my eating and making working out a struggle. I just need to find my mojo. And I wanted to say thanks to every one who rooted for.. always. xoxo Andee

Congratulations! I worked at home for several years. When I got out, I felt like a new person so you will be good too.

congratulations!!!! you'll do great, and having to pack your meals ahead of time will be a snap once you get into the routine of it. i eat the same thing almost every day so it's super easy for me but i know others might get bored with that. hard boiled eggs & cheese sticks or mason jar salads are my go-tos. now, go kick some a$$ at your new job!!

IMHO, you'll enjoy your "space" more if you're not there as much. Home office's can leave you feeling like you never get to lay it down. Work is work. Home should be solace.
