So my second weigh-in was today. Another 3.9 pounds lost.
Now I just have to exercise more and make sure to get my water in every day.
Saw the doctor. Labs are great. I'm healthy, just still overweight.
Class was on the use of resistance bands. I liked them a lot so I bought one:)
All in all, a good day!

Lazy weekend
"Love me in full being." -Elizabeth Barrett Browning
This past weekend was a mostly lazy weekend for me.
Friday I took the dog for a 30 minute walk. It was easy for me to get out and go, however, the further I walked, the more I felt like turning around. Not because I was tired, but because I was just feeling discouraged that I couldn't walk like I used to. Oh well, I sucked it up and walked the whole way and felt great when I got home!
Hmm...Saturday I sat around most of the day watching tv and playing Guitar Hero. Sunday I watched some more tv and played some more Guitar Hero. I tried a Strawberry Cheesecake shake recipe, but it wasn't anything special. I did some dishes and put away laundry.
I was playing Guitar Hero on Sunday and out of nowhere, I thought of a great line for my speech for my sister's wedding. So, I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote out part of my speech:)
I can't believe my baby sister's getting married!
I woke up this morning feeling defeated from the weekend since I didn't really do anything productive. So, to make up for it, I walked on my lunch to the lab draw station and back. Yep, I had to get more labs drawn. My poor vein...they poke me in the same spot every time. Oh well.
Oh...and apparently I had a vitamin D deficiency to begin with, so now I'm on a vitamin D pill along with my multi-vitamin. At least they're vitamins and not drugs.
So, tonight, I have several tasks to complete since I basically did nothing this weekend. They will have to wait until after orchestra rehearsal! I can't wait!

Hmm...
This will be short.
Today was just not a good day for me.
Despite everything that went wrong, I did manage to get my 20 minute walk in and drank all my water! For that, I am proud of myself.
Tomorrow's a new day.

Start of week 2
Had a great orchestra rehearsal yesterday! I love being able to play in the orchestra! So much fun!
Today was my first weigh-in and group meeting! I lost 7.6 pounds in the first week! I feel great! The group meeting was about emotional eating. A lot of people struggle with that. My struggle is that I eat when I'm bored or lonely. Hmm...guess I better keep myself busy:)
I got to purchase some new food too!
My new 'pantry' - top shelf

And the bottom shelf:
Yay! I'm stocked for a few weeks now:) I discovered that I prefer to have a variety to choose from or I get bored with the food too easily. So I got some new stuff and a bunch of the stuff that I really like!
So a great day for me!
Oh, also, yesterday, I got my Quarter Note Cricut cartridge in the mail and ordered my Gypsy! I have got to get back into making cards and scrapbooking!
On that note...I am signing off to go listen to the thunder and rain and try to get some sleep!

Day 4
Since my calendar sits on my desk at work, I don't have my calendar quote for the weekend. Instead, I found something else:)
"Because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good and more than any fate could have done to make me happy. You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it by being yourself."
I woke up Saturday morning ready to go. I should have just gotten up then, but I went back to bed and slept way too long. Breakfast was delicious, though! Bacon and cheese omelet and a mug of stress relief tea. I'm finding that it's harder to get my water in because I'm just relaxing at home. Guess I better get off my butt and get some stuff done huh?! Nah...cleaning and schoolwork is for Sunday. Today is all about Guitar Hero, reading, playing my violin, and visiting with friends!
Wow...Saturday was hard to get my calories in. I didn't have much of a schedule because I was being lazy at home. So, I got to munch on a bunch of food while playing games with one of my best friends and her hubby! Love you guys!
Went bowling with my family and then out to eat on Sunday. I got a ridiculous amount of gutter balls on the first game. The second game, however, I got several strikes, including three on the tenth frame!! First time I've ever done that!
Going out to eat was interesting. I brought my soup mix. When they took drink orders, I, of course, ordered a water. Then came the food ordering. I ordered a cup of hot water. I felt like an idiot but I got over it. Then I had to ask for a bowl and a spoon (apparently you only get a fork and a knife normally).
Saw The Adjustment Bureau. Definitely an interesting movie.
Now I am exhausted and sore (I carry my stress in my neck and shoulders). Still have to eat some pudding before I hit the sack though. They told me that I had to at least get to 800 calories each day no matter what. So swiss chocolate pudding then bedtime...sounds good to me! :)
