tomorrow it the day!!  I have to be at UMMC at 6 am!  I'm anxious but not sure if it's nervous or just excitement!

I am 2 weeks and 2 days away from surgery and VERY nervous.  Tomorrow is lab tests, Upper GI, sonogram, and chest x-ray.  Tuesday I start my liquid diet and have my seminar with Dr Kligman in the afternoon.  I just hope I am prepared!!!  So nervous, and I don't know if it's vain or not but I am worried about clothes!  I start a new job on tuesday also (long story but couldn't help it).  I will be working for a doctor's office not wearing scrubs so I really want to make sure I don't look bad in my clothes as my body is hopefully shrinking but my clothes aren't...

I really wanna be able to go out any play with my 4 year old like he should be and not have to lay/ sit on the couch instead.  :(

Thanks for listening!

I have a lot going on.  Major sleeping issues, a row house I need to sell or rent, My mother has terminal cancer, and I can't stop eating chocolate!  I really need to be able to commit to this but so much going on I just can't handle it all...

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

I would really love to get a good night sleep and wishes my sleep study was sooner then 6/18.  I think I over did it yesterday at the gym, my knee hurts.
Life goes on...

So I was sick last week and there was no way I could work out.  I had a horrible sore throat and anytime I excerted myself I would start hacking.  I started working out again on Wednesday.  I decided to start slow and do the tread mill.  Which is great I love working out give me time to think and to myself.  Other then while at work.  But I am at that time of the month and have found it impossible to curve my chocolate/pastry cravings!  This is gonna be my down fall.  I haven't been on the scale since last wednesday.  I had gained 2 lbs back.  I am so confused at what to do; I am offically starting my food diary today.  Should be interesting.

Went to see Dr. Kligman and the nutritionist yesterday.  It went well, I go to meet with the nutritionist on May 8th.  We are expecting a surgery date in early December.  Should make the holidays interesting.  My goal weight is 130 lbs and I honestly can't tell you at what point I ever weighed that.  I have a lot of hard work ahead of me. 

Well I didn't feel like working out yesterday but I knew it was important to keep up the good work, so I went and walked on the treadmill for 25 minutes at a faster pace then I have been doing so far. 
My allergies had been really bothering me this week so that definitly doesn't help me to feel energized....

I am doing ok with my new and improved life style.  I am going to the gym at least 3 times a week.  My biggest problem is cravings.  I seem to constantly want chocolate or something sweet.  I have tried different things to help this but not much good.  :(

Ugh...my appointment with Dr. Kligman was cancelled yesterday.  He was called into surgery. :(  I understand it was obviously important and sucks.  It's been rescheduled for the 22nd. 

I am having a hard time with my improved eating during my 1 week a month that all I want to eat is chocolate. 
Wish me luck!

I made my appointment with Dr. Kligman for April 6th.  I am really excited about this.  I hope things go well..
