I am sorry I have been a little “away”. Opening went smoothly, but August is always a tough month as we just have so much going on. Anyway, things finally seem to be slowing down, so without further ado - here are my updates….

I had my three month check up with the weight loss today. I lost another 9 pounds, so I am now down to 234. Yay!!!!! Bad news, my blood pressure spiked. I am on meds to begin with, but we are not sure why there was such a high spike (about 20 points).

On other issues - I have had to get new cloths at this point. It is a great thing, but it is a situation of trying to decide what is the most important - underwear that fits, pants that fit, bras that fit….. .

Oh, finally - the insanity has ended. I took everyone’s advice. The next few days, I kept those frozen veggies that steam in the bag in the microwave at work. I also started to stay away from the cookies and danishes. It is amazing that I did not gain weight, even though I did not loose any weight. As things slowed down, I started eating better and better. With any luck, next week when I go in for my 3 month check up, I will have lost some more.

Work has been kicking my you-know-what. The halls open for our residents/students tomorrow morning at 7 am. This was after a week of training for GHDs, RAs, and other hall staff. All of stress, I have not made it to the gym, I have been eating on the go, and ….. *GASP* ate to satisfy emotions verses hunger. At least 4 of the last 6 days I ate over my calorie count. The good news, I have walked my building so many times that I do burn some of that off (each floor is roughly a quarter of a mile). We have four more days where the students check in - looking at 12 hour days….. then I will focus back on me.
