Down To The Wire...

Hey OH Fam!I hope everyone is doing good. Aside from some personal stuff, I'm doing great! I did my 5th weigh-in yesterday and I lost another 4 lbs.
YAY!!!!!!! That means I'm down a total of 12 lbs and Dr. Jay is requiring me to lose a minimum of 15 lbs. That means I need to lose 3 more lbs and I'll be good to go. I have 2 friends here at work; one who has had the surgery and the other is having the surgery in 2 weeks and they both had to go on the liquid diet 2 weeks before their surgery because they hadn't lost the minimum requirement. They've been my motivation to lose my weight because I DO NOT want to go on a liquid diet! It looks pretty hard. 
So I've been trying my best to eat right and choose my food wisely. I don't always accomplish it, but the key is that I NEVER GIVE UP!I'm so exciting that I only have 1 more freakin' weigh-in. September 1st. My insurance is good about getting approvals done within a week of receiving them, so I'm looking forward to having my surgery at the end of September. I'm hoping the hospital has an opening for me then! Another thing I'm looking for is the TIME OFF WORK.
I ran out of vacation time earlier this year because I broke my leg/ ankle and was out of work for about 2 weeks. I get 3 1/2 weeks of vacation every year but had already used some of it. I also get a week of unpaid vacation in addition to that but who wants to take an unpaid vacation. LOL. I'm saving that for emergencies. Anyways, because I'm at working all the time, I just need a break. I can't wait. Can't y'all tell how excited I am?!?!?Until next time.........
