Tonight was the first time that the Winnipeg bariatric team had a support meeting. It was nice to see so many familiar face. Has everyone changed! Everyone looks so good. It was great to see. I realized tonight how much I miss going to the M&Gs. I have stopped going because I stopped losing weight. I have been embarrassed with how much weight I haven't lost.  I need to get over it. Seeing some of you have put a bit of a want to do something about IT. I was very interested to know that they are offering more services. I can't wait to see the shrink or whatever she is. Hopefully I can get appointments on days that I work. I hope that I can get into swing of things or at least become interested in IT rather than doing it out of feelings of guilt that I give myself. I really want plastics done.  

I like my new job. I get to call codes. I have gone from being nervous about it to finding it kind of exciting. I like that there is less paging to doctors on call. I feel like there is less pressure. I am finding it hard to pronounce the doctors' last names.  A girl gave me a list of the surgeons' names. I have been studying them at work.
 I thought I had more to talk about. I guess not, lol.

Different title same post, lol.

I start my new job  tomorrow starting with orientation. I am so excited to be starting a job where I only work one shift!  I have been planning work friendly meals and snacks. It is great that I just have to do 2 one week menus. So much better than planning for a 4 week rotaion. I am also very happy that I work the evening shift. I am good all day with my eating and then evening hits and I am back and forth to the fridge. Working 7 evenings out of the week takes away half the stress :)
 
Well, I'm off to do laundry.

Peace

My husband is gone for 2 weeks. Lets see how well I can do with this eating thing without his influence. I am hoping to lose a few pounds while he is gone.

I used to type more for my blog but it seems like I am always writing about the same thing, my struggle with food.  It gets old writing about the same thing over and over.

I am going to miss my Homer.

I've got a job interview tomorrow at The Vic! I hope that I get it. Maybe I can find out better what is going on with the bariatric clinic.

Back down to 168lbs.

Well I got sick during my holidays and gained 8lbs. Back up to 172lbs. Bummer :(  Tis Life.  I have been so tired lately. I just can't shake it. Even my legs seems tired. I try to stretch them but it just doesnt work out.  Oh well.

Still maintaining at 164lbs. Happy about that. Looking forward to 9 days off of work. I can't wait to recharge and be able to focus more on my every day diet and my liquid intake. I am going out to the country for a couple of days. I sure hope that it is nice and sunny. I checked the 14 day trend and so far so good but as we all know it changes almost daily. I can't wait to get away.  I am hoping to lose 5lbs when I am off work. It seems that  when I am behaving it is possible to do it. It is raining out today and that can't take away how happy I am that I get some days off work.

Well I am not perfect but it is getting better. I am happy to say that my weight has gone from 174lbs to 165lbs!!  I feel like my weight just might start coming off again. I am trying not to get too excited about it just in case that isn't the case. Regardless I am happy that I have lost my re-gain. YAY!  I have really lowered my portion sizes. I have started drinking protein drinks again. I have been drinking some-what proper amounts of liquids every day. I am not beating myself up everyday anymore :).  I also have bought myself some new clothes and was pleasantly surprised that some of my picks were too big. I bought a couple of items that are too small right now to give me some incentive.

My friend's daughter is living with me. She entered a Mother's day contest that was opened to moms (of course), guardians, aunties, etc. She entered me as her God-Mom. We won! It is for VIP at Essence night club. Even get a bottle of wine, ooolala, lol! My brother in law will be in town this weekend and I really like partying with him. He is a riot. I can't wait to go out. I have been able to go out a couple of times the last couple of months. I'm still enjoying the dancing.

Today I exercised. I have been really lax in that department. I rode that bike for 52 mins. That is when my music list ended on the ipod. Now that I was able to lose just a bit in a few weeks I feel like some motivation has come back to me. I think that I have been keeping my calories under 1000/day. I don't log my diet everyday, but, when I do my cals are under 1000. I just want to make my personal goal. It isn't even a number anymore. I have always just wanted to be a large sized top. I have always been top heavy and had to wear very plus-sized shirts and blouses. I have always wanted to fit into a large to be able to shop at any store. If a store has a small fit I want to wear the XL.  That is my goal.

'Till next time

I have been watching what I eat for 6 days now. I have made some ready to grab items (chili) and have bought healthier items to be able to grab when I want to eat and don't want to wait. I am finding the hardest time to resist grazing is when I am wanting food and am too impatient to wait for it to cook.  I have been drinking more water too. Some days I would hardly get 750ml in and it wasn't all sugar free. I have stopped drinking Timmies as well. I really hope that I can do this. At my work there is a cookie jar on the counter, it used to be on the other side of the counter. They rearranged the counter and now the cookiess are within arms reach. I did not have one. I had a couple of weak moments, especially today when I kept getting pissed off at a co-worker, who wasnt even at work, but I did not have one. I am very happy with myself that I didn't even eat one :D.  Well I'm getting into a program on tv.
