Not Enough Time....



Recommended Posts

My job recently started overtime back up. With the Holidays here how could I refuse. So, here I go again with working 6 days a week. Did this over the spring and summer which didn't leave me any "real time" for my exercise routine. Which I believe kind of slowed my loss. I strongly feel that I could've been at goal by now. Had I not worked the OT it would've gave me more time to concentrate on my weight loss. Then again, I took advantage of it. I guess it will be a give and take. I will give (and take) the OT and take what I can for my loss with what time I have to devote to exercise. It is what it is. And I will take it. It will be just a bit longer than I had anticipated to reach my goal. I know it may not seem like a lot left to lose, but I have pushed myself so much and so hard this year just to get where I am. It seems as if there isn't enough time in a day anymore to work everything in. Or I'm just getting older...LOL :)

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!!! :)

Heya Deb :smile1:

Listen, we have to do what we have to do to live our lives. In this economy sometimes that means we have to take on extra shifts to help out our means a little bit more. I think the whole essence of having the sleeve there for us is for times exactly like this. It will keep us stay in line when life's challenges take over. I know in the past when things turned out a bit hectic for me, that would be when I would gain the most weight. Well, thanks to my sleeve that doesn't happen anymore.

Don't worry. Do your overtime and once that is up, you can get back to your program - again, thanks to your little sleevie.

Hugs!! and HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you as well.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
