Thanks everyone for the support/advice. Just was a little blue last week. Probably hormones. I'll hopefully feel much better after another 10 pounds or so...
Been pretty busy lately. Had some excitement on Friday.
Apparently the cops started pouring in just after I got there, and rumors were flying about embezzlement charges and whatnot. Then, while I was in the middle of a conference call meeting, my boss hops on the line and says, "I'm sorry to interrupt, but everyone needs to leave the building immediately. Go NOW."
This is thoroughly confusing to us, but it sounded urgent, and we all got up and scrambled down the stairs and stood in the parking lot. There were cops swarming the place. At least 4 firetrucks, and there were more sitting across the street. I half expected to see snipers on the roofs. Then another employee came up to us and said, "go home, the building's closed for the day."
So. That's my excitement. Rumor has it that some employee got pissed off because upper management has been embezzling and whatnot and sent some threatening emails.
I was down 2.2lbs on Friday, but I weighed in at 10:30a and I'm normally at 3:30p. So we'll see how much of that was "real" today at WI. I had some challenges this weekend...my friend's birthday was this weekend and she wanted to go to a really yummy Chinese restaurant. So I went, but I saved 2P and 2S for dinner, and then only ate 1/2 of my portion of my sesame chicken, and gave the leftovers to my friend. So, not too bad. But I drank too much, of course. Argh...my social life is bad for me!
Kimphin-about your janitor story...isn't it ridiculous how unprofessional people can seem sometimes? Some people's children, I tell ya.
Lori-your change is remarkable! Congrats!
Evette-take care of yourself girl. That's a frighteningly low BP. I had a similar thing happen one summer when I got Lyme's Disease. My BP plummeted, fever spiked at 104.2. Not a good thing. Turned out I had Lyme's and was severely anemic. I've taken a multivitamin with at least 18mg of iron in it everyday since then. And when I feel faint I try to up my iron intake for the day. Eating soy can lower the amount of iron your body absorbs too, as it often takes the place of iron rich meats and does not contain very much iron itself. FYI-"Total" cereal and Cream of Wheat have a LOT of iron in them. Hope the doctor says all is okay!
Martha-that's so cool that you're going for your doctorate in nursing. I'm currently applying to graduate schools for my master's in nursing. I'm trying to go for a direct entry program, so I can get my RN and go directly for my masters. I want to be a nurse practitioner, so hopefully I'll get accepted. It's very competitive, but I know it's what I want to do.
Debbie-welcome to the "official" club! good luck! Stories from a lot of the girls make it seem that the CODs are really pushy on the bars, but it depends on the center. Mine isn't too bad, though I did end up getting a bulk package b/c I thought it would help, and I'd end up saving money. But my COD isn't rude about it and they offer plans w/o lites. Just remember that they DO work on commission...I tend to buy only from my favorite counselor, so she gets a portion of that, b/c she's awesome!
Katie-feel better! Pinkeye sucks. And your WL is amazing!! Congrats! Did you really say you lost 8 lbs in a week? That's crazy! It's like having a baby...lol!
). I just want to thank for the posts that i have read. I have learned a lot...variety of foods, recipes. I hope to gain buddies and friends here. Have a good day everyone.
