Happy Birthday To Me!

Now that I'm out of my "funk" I should be a little more active... possibly.

Went to the clinic today and I'd lost another 3 pounds in the past 2 weeks. I blame that on stress, lack of food, and moving. We got a new place and it's a HUGE improvement over the previous. Just moved the last truckload of items yesterday, now it's time to unpack. If I do that while listening to music, it makes me more productive and it seems to go faster.

Today is my birthday and I am officially 30 years old. Dear lord where did the time go?! I'm proud of my weight loss thus far. It's not a full 20 pounds but 19 is pretty damn close don't you think?

We removed .03 cc's of fluid today. Figured out (after a month) that I'm not able to eat b/c there was too much fluid. Not a huge amount but just a small bit. I go back in 2 weeks to see where I'm at (if more needs to be added/removed).

I had a melt down about 2 weeks ago. I was so frustrated with my band, my body, and everything else in my world at the time. I had gone through the trouble of making a healthy, delicious dinner(thai chicken [crock-pot, chicken, salsa, peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce; rice noodles and bean threads; baked eggrolls]) and I couldn't eat any of it. I was so sad and disappointed. I cried and cried for almost an hour. I knew something wasn't right because even though I was eating, taking my time, small portions, etc. Food was getting stuck and I was getting sick. I found I was sticking to softer foods and soups because they went down easiest. Frustrating when you can't even eat a friggin' salad! Anyway, so we'll see how I do and what happens.

I was extended a job offer last week and I took it. I'm excited about it. Going to be helping others with putting together resume's, and helping them find jobs.

School started back up last week and I'm back in the thick of it. Sucks I still have no internet at home until Saturday and all my spare time right now is being spent either unpacking or working on homework. I'm behind but I aim to get caught up somehow over the weekend.

Anyway, I hope you are having a pleasant day!
