Sitting at 212.

Jan 08, 2009

Never did get under 200.  It's my own fault. Exercise is imperative. I know this. I understand this.
BUT, I don't exercise.  I am a full time nursing student and have been for the past 1.5 years. First I graduated with my LPN, and then went directly into and LPN-RN bridge program less than a month after graduating with my LPN.  I currently work as a Hospice Nurse and attend Park Univ ADN/RN program full time. Graduation is May 8th at 2 pm!! Four (very long) months from today!! Woo hoo!!  I never ever ever would have been able to go back to school, especially programs as rigorous as nursing school, without having had my gastric bypass surgery.  My knees don't ache incessantly. I can get up and down off the floor. I can handle 10 hour clinical days on my feet during clinical rotations. Gastric Bypass surgery is a miracle...but most of all, it's a TOOL.  I have not lost any weight for the past six months because I am not utilizing my tool as I should be. I realize this.  I am ready to get back on the horse per se.  Beginning today, I am going to actively try to begin losing weight again. My first goal is to get under 200 pounds. I would like this to happen by valentines day...so I have about 5 weeks.  Surely that is possible with enough water, exercise, protein, and effort.  Wish me luck!!
