A little positive energy my way please!



Recommended Posts

Please send me some positive energy my way please! in 4 hours I'll be taking my business statistics final from LAST semester. I couldn't take it last semester, because, well, I'd just spent a week in the hospital because I was having severe asthma problems. (yeah, this latest round started in November...) Anyway, please send me some positive energy and good thoughts for passing the final.

Now I know why folks usually go to university when they are young... pulling an all nighter has been ... interesting... and highly cafinated!

Vines, You will do great! I always got nervous before my finals and I ended up passing them all. Just go in there with your head up, read everything very good. Remember sometimes your first guess is the right guess. Your going to do good.. Let me know how you do!! Take Care

But, Crystal, you can use all that worldly knowledge you've obtained since your youth! You'll do great! (((Hugs)))

thanks for all the positive energy! Heh, unfortuantely they sort of want you to have sharp analitical and math skills to do statistics... Oh why couldn't it be something easy, like writing?

I believe I aced the final! This has been a VERY difficult subject for me, and it is one of the hardest classes at our university. The running joke is that the prerequiste for the class is the class... (so many people have to take it two or three times...)

Thanks for the energy! I passed my statistics class! While I didn't quite ace the final (I got dinged hard for every little math error...) I did well enough that I'm statistically slightly better than average! Man, and I thought Chemistry was hard! I neve worked so hard for a "C" in my life!

Again, thanks for the well wishes, you guys are the best!

Yay! Good for you. Smart girl...I flunked Chemistry in the final semester, did the whole graduation thing with family in from out of town, party etc. then got my grades in the mail...F in Chemistry. Went to Jamaica for 5 days to Celebrate, then came back and took it again in summer school. Bummer. But I got a B and my degree! You'll get yours too. Way to go!!!! BTW, how much longer for you in school?

Congrats, Crystal!!

My Dad, whom I considered to be the smartest person I knew, said that statistics was the hardest course he EVER had to take - this was as an adult, too, not as a young whipper-snapper. So whooo hooo!! Congrats!! You got through without having to take the "prerequisite"! lol

:D

      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!!
