Brief Overview

I had Friday off, it wasn't that relaxing. My schedule was very broken up and I was still in quite a bit of pain from my sunburn. I did have ice cream at the end of the day, very nice. I had my annual exam, I love Pat. She is the greatest.

Saturday was my hotline shift. My friend Dana came over to lend moral support for most of the day. Of course the phone did not ring until I was alone. I think it went fairly well. I look forward to being seasoned and not thinking of so many things to say after I am off the phone.

Yesterday was a leisurely day. I went to my WW meeting. It had been two weeks due to the holiday weekend. I was concerned about how I had eaten and considered weighing without my tennis shoes on (it would have been a first) I stuck to my routine however and had a 5 lbs loss. I am now at 13.6 lbs total and feel refreshed in my commitment. I went on 3 short walks yesterday.

After visiting with Gabo and a nap I picked up my son. The day kind of goes downhill from there but one highlight was my son picking up his room by himself, and doing a wonderful job.

Today I am "home", "sick". My son had his first dentist appointment, all is great! I hung out leisurely with Gabrielle and made some art cards. I will try to get them up for my dedicated readers :)

I am excited to return to work tomorrow because my coworker Sarah will be returning from maternity leave!

I am freezing in my apartment right now. I have to get an oil change for my car today. HAVE TOO!

Official

It is official, I am a hotline volunteer. Graduation was postponed from Tuesday to accomodate schedules. I have my beautiful certificate, worth framing :)

I am taking my first shift Saturday morning at 9 am. 24 hours with me and a phone. Jumping right in is the only way I believe.

Wish me good fortune and mindfulness.

Stall

I feel totally stalled in my weight loss efforts. I guess part of it is that I am feeling under the weather. Also I have a major sunburn which is making me crabby, along with the pain and the headaches. I am still in pain and it feels like the peeling is about to begin. My skin is so sensitive. I cannot believe that I totally spaced sunscreen. I am normally fairly conscious about those kinds of things. I am horribly lucky that my son is unscathed.

I have my annual exam tomorrow and am I am prepared for a mini lecture on my lobsterness :)

As for my weight loss, I have been eating too much since last Friday. I have actually eaten some healthy foods but in too large quantities. I am constantly wanting chips and sweets.

I have been trying to use visualization and restating my goals to stay on track.

-To wear my wrap around skirt again
-To wear my old shorts again
-To run after my child
-To one day run with my best friend
-To not have to worry about diabetes, heart disease and such
-To wear a size 10

I should add that I am not beating myself up over this but I am feeling really frustrated. I hope a day off and a walk tomorrow will be the refresher I need.
