Kim - Hello! Thanks for asking, I was suppose to start doing the night shifts tonight, HOWEVER, my it appears my patient is staying in the hospital again tonight, so I may end up starting tomorrow night now, at the earliest. She just had a knee replacement surgery. We are just waiting on her discharge!
Alright I got into my second class! And I actually had the proffesor in undergrad. I'm now sitting here waiting for my friend who's going to take me shopping for running shoes.
Also, I successfully avoided the chicken fingers for 2 days in a row. I'd like to attribute my 30 lb weight gain in college to those chicken fingers. So good yet so bad...
y'all be crazy with your winter loving (i've always wanted to say y'all )
Kim- not too bad. Well, driving me a little crazy. On the plus its too hard to find snacks, so its easier not to! But on the down side, its too hard to find food so its more tempting to eat out xD I've been surviving pretty good on weight watchers and healthy choice microwave meals. I'm thinking of it as a good way to really judge what im eating- if everything i eat is out of a box, and the calories come to what i usually think i eat but i lose more weight, then i must be measuring my food wrong normally right?
Yay stella! See all the panic was for nothing
As for me, i spoke to my PT about the still not so budging plateau and we refocused on some stuff, so i am feeling pretty good about this week
stellarosa27~ Congrats on getting your second class!!!
Iconised Ghost~ hey, hey, hey… I say y’all… You might be measuring wrong or it might be the change in diet as switching up your diet can often boost weight loss.
luvja~ any word on how your patient is doing? Do you get some entertaining patients every now and then?
So the girl who was supposed to close the restaurant didn’t show up last night and I ended up closing. It wasn’t too bad, but my feet were KILLING me by the time I got to the grocery store. I’ve planned out breakfast and lunch… but not dinner, so that is my next goal… Have a good day!!!
Icon - I noticed that too! how those meals are so small yet when I have a chicken breast its a lot bigger...I kind of chalk it up to maybe preservatives they put in it, or that the sauces have more calories...who knows.
Kim - good luck with dinner!
I got up and exercised today I'm taking this one day at a time - I just don't want school to prevent me from getting up in the morning. I also bought running shoes last night - so I'm planning to start C25k on Monday. I figure while I'm still at my house I can do that 3x a week and then spin on Tuesdays and Thursdays (maybe even Saturday/Sunday depending on how I feel).
I'm so sore. I went to a circuit class last night and my arms and shoulders are killing me
stella: I'm on W7D1 on C25K and i love it. I never thought it a million years I would be able to run 25 minutes without walking. I'm running my first 5K october 3rd. Good luck to you and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
stellarosa27~ I LOVE C25K!!! I would still be doing it if I didn't start having such big problems with my feet...
daisy5819~ That class sounds great!
So I'm just going to say my day was entertaining and leave it at that. I work in a self-contained program with the worst of the worst in our school... sooooo... every day is entertaining... I did great with lunch though and played kickball for an hour with the kids I rounded the bases at least 10 times... and my shins smart a bit... I still haven't figured out dinner, but am planning on grabbing some salad mix, cukes, and tomatoes to stuff myself with before I eat whatever else I make...
Have a good evening ladies! I'll be back on in the morning!

yeah the weight watchers honey soy chicken meal is a whopping 8% chicken
lol its a sign of my decreasing mental health when i get angry enough to strangle something when i see posts about people "overcoming" one week "plateaus" u_u

I'm not going to complain about my 1 week plateau, because I don't think that's what it is, but I'M SO FRUSTRATED. I keep bouncing between 194 and 195 - I'm staying on plan, exercising, drinking water, eating fiber, BUT ITS NOT BUDGING.
This is particularly worrisome because the last time I did WW this is where I stalled. I'm not going to say the rest of the weight came off "easy" because it wasn't easy, but I feel like I'm fighting with my body. Its not a case of "maybe you're body is happy here b/c its healthy" b/c I'm OBVIOUSLY not in a healthy range - my BMI is still way above 30 and I'm at least 50 lbs overweight. wtf!!!!
Sigh. Deep Breaths. I'm going spinning tonight and before I leave for NJ tomorrow I'm going to run, then probably take the weekend off of "exercise." Maybe my body just needs to rest, or something. I've noticed that when I exercise more vigorously I lose a lot less weight (and tend to gain) than if I'm just walking or something. I mean it has been a stressful week, but I *hate* attributing weight loss to stress. Then again, could be PMS as evidenced by this little emotional outburst.
We have only been back to school since Tuesday (well, technically Monday since we had teacher meetings all day) and we have tomorrow off for a four day Labor Day weekend, but I am SO tired!!! haha Working with teenagers every day knocks the energy right out of you
Good morning, girls.
