Waiting
May 09, 2008
Tuesday night will be the first meeting for the group sessions. Once I get that weigh in I can relax and start trying to lose weight. I'm considered a lightweight and my BMI is barely over 40. I was afraid to lose any weight until they get that first weight recorded. After that if my BMI drops below 40 it will be alright.
I'm working till Monday so I'm not sure when I'll post next.
I hate retail on weekends! If you go shopping this weekend.. Think of me and be nice to the employee's you meet.

The Arm Band
May 05, 2008
I have to fill out a survey and mail it back with the armband. I should get my answer in 2 weeks if I'm going to be part of the more intense group. Either way I get $200 for participating but I'd really like to be in the intense group.
I off today so I have to make sure I don't just sit around all day. Wish me luck!

Dinner is cooking in the crock pot and I'll be heading off to work soon. Gotta love working in a food store on the weekends. The Sunday rush is awful. I have made an observation about those that shop after church on Sundays. Most are not very nice and they are very rushed. You would think after spending an hour with God you could be a little more pleasant to the folks you meet after church!
A day off and temptations.

I'm going to do my very best to get up and move around. Maybe take a walk with Dela once the rain stops. I'm going to also try not to eat every freakin time I think about food!
Wish me luck!
Hair cut.
May 02, 2008
I usually have my hair down to my shoulders or past them. The other day I decided to let them take alot off. I really like how fast I can dry it and it feels so much healthier.
My daughter looked at me and said.. Well mom.. I don't like the hair cut. It's not very flattering for your face. She shifted nervously as she told me this.
I looked at her and said.. Thats a polite way to say my new haircut makes my face look fat. She blushed. I then told her.. my haircut does NOT make my face look fat.. MY FACE makes my face look fat! Snort
Attack of the armband
May 01, 2008
I worked 8 hours today and then managed a 45 minute walk with Dela & my daughter. I was amazed that Dela is starting to keep up. We were told she's a bassethound daschund mix. They werent too sure since she was an abandoned dog. She has a very low energy level because of the basset hound in her. She gets very chubby over the winter. The fact she has a low energy level works perfect for me...heh.
I'm pleased with myself that I went on the walk after a long day at work. After the walk my daughter and I went to wal-mart and walked around. I guess its a good sign my stamina is building.
I should sleep well tonight!
The Arm Band
Apr 30, 2008
I went to the first meeting for the test group on Monday and spent 2 hours answering the most strangest questions I have ever been asked. Then they gave me this armband and said I had to wear it for the next 7 days and it would monitor my activity. I am to wear it all day long and remove it at bed time. After the seven days I'm to mail it back to them. Well I was so excited about this arm band. Couldnt wait to put it on. Woke up early yesterday so I could put it on! Let me tell you... the novelty of this armband has already worn off. I cant wait to stop wearing it. It pinches my fat. Its hard to conceal under my clothes. It slid down my arm during a transaction at work yesterday and started to vibrate and beep because it lost contact with my skin. I hit it on the safe about 5 times when I was working in the cash office. By the time I got home last night all I could think of was....I want this stupid band OFF!!!! Well I woke up this morning and showered for work and put the STUPID thing back on. I cant wait to see how much this thing interfere's with my work today! LOL

The Journey starts
Apr 28, 2008
I'm not sure how other states do this. I'm from Pennsylvania. For insurance purposes I have to go through six months of weight management and a psych eval before I can have my sugery.
I started that journey today by attending my first appointment for a study group I've been asked to join. It will pay me back half of what I pay to be in the 6 month program.
They will be following 2 groups. Ones that follow the regular 6 month program and the ones chosen to participate in a more intense program.
The ones in the more intense program will have weekly checks instead of the monthly and they will have one on one counseling instead of group.
It took 2 hours day of answering TONS of questions. For the next 7 days I have to wear a band that will record my activity. After that time is up I mail it back along with a survey and the computer will pick who is doing the more intense sessions.
I honestly hope I'm chosen.
