It's my Friday... 4 day weekend! Whoot!
Today has been decent; I had a good workout this morning and my foot feels okay after that little jog I did. Work has been creeping by but not horrible, and I managed to snag a seat in an otherwise full Transition Assistance Course. (The course is mandatory for those separating from the military, and it's a full week of briefings/training/etc. The slots were full but I managed to sweet-talk my way into one the week after next, which is good because they were full up through February and by law I have to do it 10-12 months from separation... which I am already under!)
Turbo - I have the appointment for the CT scan this evening, and I don't think I will get the results for a week or two (that's the average time). It feels decent though, so that's the important thing.
It sounds like you have a great weekend ahead of you... enjoy! I get to pick up my husband tomorrow from the airport and be a fat kid on Saturday, so that will be nice.
Kakers - It's super important to really watch what you eat as you continue to lose. Unfortunately, we just can't cut out soda and lose 2 pounds a week anymore once we're Feathers!
Jessica - I actually did just that; I hid the cookies in the back of the pantry. I actually forgot about them already! Out of sight, out of mind huh?
Fresh15Again - Yeah, I'm super excited to see my hubby! LOL, I usually DO resist the cookies with hardly a problem, but knowing that Saturday was going to be an 'off plan' day I grabbed them knowing I can have some then. They were taunting me a bit sitting in my car, but at home in the pantry I've not given them another thought!
Oh my goodness... I think you should seriously get the issue with your legs looked at a bit closer. I know it's not the 'right' mindset, but I can sympathize with being more concerned about the ramifications of not working out over the actual symptoms. It's a bit of a distorted mindset, but as a workout-addict I can relate. Ultimately though, you need to take responsibility for it and make sure you are okay. Turning a blind eye to it will not make it any better later down the road, and may in fact make it much worse.
Chickie - Well that's what I was thinking... FREE GS Cookies?! But, we are on a military installation so we get a lot of donations of things like that so it really isn't uncommon. At least I didn't scoff them down... yet.
I don't have kids but I can relate about being a bit of a controller when it comes to things around the house and such. My husband is SUPER laid back that it will be an easy transition to living with him versus my two roommates I have now. Anyway, I can understand feeling frustrated and stressed over it. You WANT to relax and let him help but you worry he won't get things done the way you want them to be.
Lisa - How often do you get to see your boyfriend? The last year I've seen my husband on average of once every 6 weeks, not including deployments. We only get to see each other for a few days at a time. It's pretty hard, but we make it work. I only have one more deployment and less than a year now! I'm so excited for us to make a home together.
*EDIT: I just came home and made dinner (shrimp with zuchinni, spinach, onion and parmesan cheese) and I put way too much dang salt on it! Blech! I am doing a WI tomorrow for the first time in a couple of weeks, so if I'm up 5 pounds I'll blame it on the salt.
