It's been awhile
Feb 19, 2009
I haven't been here for awhile. For two weeks, I was very depressed and ate myself to 8 lbs heavier. Finally last Saturday I put my foot down and have been doing great, besides the too many prunes incident. I've lost all the weight I gained but a half pound. I have to admit to being very happy with myself and grateful I can still lose like that. I am only 30.1 lbs away from 199.9 lbs. I accidentally posted on the Maryland Board 299! I so want to be under 200 pounds. I am going to do it. I've been doing really well this week, fighting off a couple temptations. Next week, I am sure it will be a hard test but I want to succeed so badly. I have new rules:1. No bread, rice, potatoes, corn, sugar, wheat or gluten free flour, artificial sweeteners.
2. Ok to eat in moderation: fruit, honey, oatmeal
3. Minimum of eight glasses of clear water each day
4. All my vits every day
5. Starting on monday, exercise 3 days during the week and one day on the weekend.
I realized trying to work out five days a week wasn't happening for me. Maybe one day it will but not now. I plan on doing the yoga class at bally's on Sunday's and swim there on wednesdays. Monday and thursday will be exercise at my work gym. Sound like a plan? It sure does.
I am also going to become an OH group leader. Unfortunately I missed the first training sessions so I'll have to wait but I printed out all the training material and will spend time over the next week or so reading it. There is over 50 pages of reading! I am planning on having my first OH meeting March 11th at the Abingdon Branch Library. I have to go there to get another card and pay off the bill and reserve the room. I will get that done on the weekend and post on the Maryland Board on Monday.
I am also going to start school in the summertime. I am waiting to hear about doing an internship and the baltimore crisis center. I am not sure what to expect on that but I will be able to do it and work at the same time. I am very excited about this. I want to become a social worker. I hope that I can make it!
