Happy Monday!(?) Today was my 2 month check in with the doc after starting blood pressure meds. I was hoping to not have to stay on them, but alas, unless I quit smoking, he doesn't seem to even consider the possibility. However, I have lost 23 lbs since I was there in March, and he was delighted with that. Woo hoo! Gotta go back in another 2 months, and I don't think I can pull off another 20 by then, but I am absolutely shooting for Onederland by then! There you have it. I usually don't make absolute goals like that, so hopefully putting it in writing makes it stick.
Mel, now you've got 3 months to level out somewhere new before the next cycle battle, right? It should be all good! I sort of look at it that way monthly- I don't get worked up about the scale before and during, and the first WI AFTER is the one that counts!
Arabella, congrats on your loss! And a woo hoo, too! I'm sure you're onto something with the eating at the table thing. I always eat breakfast in front of the computer, but that's not my problem time. If I could eat dinner at the table, that would probably be a very good thing. I'm almost always in front of the TV then. Hmmmmm... As for unemployment, yes I should be able to sign up, but it may not even be worth the hassle. I only work 24 hours a week right now, so UE would be a rather pitiful amount. I really have to get my butt in gear and find a new job! Groan...
Susie, we've got the same crappy weather here- not very inspiring. Also, I have the same problem with protein. I wouldn't call myself a vegetarian, cause I sure love a good burger a couple times a year, but I don't like to touch raw meat and I wouldn't even consider eating meat that has a bone or gristle attached. Ick! Boneless skinless chicken is about all I can manage here and there, much to DH's annoyance! LOL! Anyway, yeah, protein's a problem. I do rather enjoy light string cheese every day for a snack at work, but some days that's all I get, aside from whatever's in my soy milk. I do like eggs, too, but rarely make them. Guess we both need to work on that!
Puppy walk time. Have a great week, everyone!
