Typical Weekend

I was so excited for school to be over so that I could have more free and family time. Well, I've been out of school for a month now and I still feel like I don't have enough time to get everything done. We spent yesterday at the beach, which means all of my housework was left until today.

HEALTH UPDATE

Today was my 3 month check up with the doctor and I was nervous, to say the least. I always get nervous when I visit the doctor and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it's because I'm obese, or maybe it's because there are so many health issues on both sides of my family. I just don't know.

It's Time to Love MYSELF

Because I have a DVR, I rarely know what shows come on which nights. Right now, I'm sitting here watching last night's episode of Extreme Weight Loss. I can't tell you how much I identify with Trina! No, I'm not a nurse, but I am a giver. I give to everyone before I give to myself. I realized Monday in therapy that I'm looking at taking care of myself all wrong.

Fighting Boredom

Here lately, I've been so bored with everything, including work. It just doesn't do it for me anymore and I don't know why. I used to love my work but things have obviously changed. I just don't want to do anything. I talked to the hubs about it yesterday and this is what we came up with.

Worst Food Experiences

Here lately, we've been eating out a lot. Mainly because our schedules have been so hectic. As a result, I've been to various establishments lately and not had the best experiences. I can't believe how little pride people take in their jobs.

Student Loans are In

Okay, so I was so excited when class was over because it was my last one, right? Yeah, well, I'm not so excited anymore. Last week I received a bill from a lender stating my account was over due. What?! I called and got that sorted out. Today, however, I had to participate in exit counseling as part of my financial aid requirement. That scared the sh!t out of me!

My Perfect Woman

As I was swimming laps in the pool this afternoon, I was thinking about my perfect woman. This woman is intelligent, strong, beautiful, and healthy. This woman is also confident, secure, and has a positive self image. She is kind, trustworthy, empathetic, rational, and loving. Who is this woman?

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

Be sure you read the title as it was intended - using the voice of the magician in "Frosty the Snowman". Last week I was thrilled to reach a milestone but this week has been just the opposite. I've done nothing! No workouts, not even the pool, and my food choices have been less than stellar. There have been some things going on but that's no excuse for me not to make healthy choices. Before long, I'll be working to reach that same milestone again. Who likes doing the same job twice?

Getting Crafty

School is officially over (hot diggity damn!) and I've already found myself with an abundance of free time. In preparation for this, I went out last weekend and bought some yarn and some jewelry making supplies. It's time to get crafty with my bad self! I've already made 2 bracelets, a pair of earrings, and a cowl scarf. I've been busy!

Weigh In

Time to state the obvious - it's Monday. That means it's another day for me to weigh in. While I didn't see the biggest loss on the scale today, I did see a loss! I've been weighing in every day so I can keep on top of things. I'm thrilled to report that I've seen a loss every day. Do you know what that means? It means I made the scale my bitch!
