J - Bugg pisses me off. I don't burn nearly as many calories a day as I anticipated... Other than that, it's golden...

Second mid-term this afternoon. I'm done with that happy crappy for a while...

My body hurts.

I climbed 5 flights of stairs to go see Jenn today and it effing sucked ass.

That pissed me off so after lunch i climbed the whole 11 flights of stairs to the roof. I damn near died so now I am determined to do it every fucking day I work until it is easy. I shold not be this out of breath climbing stairs.

I have been climbing the stair at my job - (8 flights) - 2 times a day minimum... I only use the elevator if I'm transporting a patient, or first thing in the morning, cause I"m always running late. Lol. I've noticed a HUGE improvement in my stamina. I only hav eto stop once now, usually between 4th and 5th floors. Its awesome.

:update:

{{{{{ALL--- I will work on getting the SS sorted out on Saturday... I promise. :( Included will be adresses for all so that you can do Christmas Cards. Any others wanna play?}}}}}

I had to leave the riding banana in!

I think it is actually quicker to take the stairs at my hospital than it is to take the elevators. We have a 4 bank of elevators for the tower and sometimes it can take upward of 5 minutes waiting for one!

you know what??? I have been put on mandatory OT until the end of December or until a project is completed. Now on one hand that is wonderful...extra money, etc.....BUT......HOW THE HECK AM I GOING TO GET IN MY EXERCISE?????LOL

I have been happy that my restriction is working good. This is the first one where I can actually say that it works. Even carbonation in a NONONONONONON....and I have always been able to tolerate that before. My limit on food is amazing, and I am not hungry either...which is good for me. I am having to remind myself to eat.....Yea.....that is just nuts

So, maybe I will get down to the 50's before the end of the month. I would love that....

I am wearing a pair of jeans I bought that the first time I wore was killing my gutt. Today, they are comfy!!!

Hope everyone is havin a good day.....you know....someone is going to have to save money for a BB.....I am getting jealous!

OMG same way at my hospital! We have a 'service' elevator that isn't quite as busy, but housekeeping and maintainence seem to think it belongs only to them.

I love that banana on the ... llama?

Morning everyone! TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HP, Yeah OT!!! Can you walk during break time or anything like that? Sucks about not being able to exercise. Load up on the weekends?

B, I know what you mean about being pissed by burning fewer calories than you thought.

However, it makes me get up and move more.

Yep. I need to get off my ass more during the day. I did notice that my calorie burn was up during my mid-term. All that brain effort uses more calories... Not that I want more tests, mind you.

I'd rather midlessly run around too.

On that note, I've got yet another paper to write. Catch you all later.

Any insomniacs in the house? I'm going to die if I don't get some sleep. The damn time change has me up at 5:40 in the morning and I don't go to sleep easily at night. This is insanity.

To boot the GF is a sleep whore. I'm like woohoo let's get up and go to the gym! Let's run here and there...

Good thing I have a paper and 4 chapters to read. You know something to keep me busy instead of pestering her. :)

Anyone have fun plans for the weekend?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
