4 Pounds!

Word up! I totally thought I had already blogged about my doctor visits but I didn't. I guess some of my brains melted away along with my 4 pounds. Yup, I lost 4 pounds! Yay!! That's a pound a week. A good way to lose. I haven't remeasured yet. I'm gonna do that when I'm half way through the program. I think that will be the end of October.

The doctors said I'm doing great. I met with both Dr. Hawkins and Lunch Lady. Not real sure of the purpose of meeting with Dr. Hawkins. We just chatted. Lunch Lady and I had a nice visit. I didn't keep up with my food log very good. It's really hard to get in the habit. I'm going to buy a little notebook and keep it in my purse. I think that may help. She gave me a workbook to work on. Hence the name "work"book. I'm finding it very interesting. It delves deep into your thinking. I don't share it with anyone so I'm supposed to be completly honest. That's hard. Even when you know no one will see what you say. I'm finding that I hide a lot from myself. You wouldn't think that's possible but it is. I make up excuses for myself and I don't even know it. I've been doing it for so long. Makes me wonder what else I've kept from myself.

I have my surgery consultation next Thursday. I have a ganglion cyst on the top of my right wrist. It sticks almost half an inch up. It's also called a Bible Bump because the old remedy for them is to smash them with a large book which happened to be the family Bible. Dad whacked me twice and nothing happened. Well, something did. I screamed. I cried. And I swore. But the bump was still there. Therefore, it's getting cut out. I'm ready for that. Stupid bump hurts. I wear a brace to cushion it so I don't vomit when it accidently hits something.

Did you hear the one about me falling in Hacienda? Ever since I've turned 29 life has been rough. I've hurt about everything on my body. Not good. I'm looking forward to 30.

4 pounds that is AWESOME! A pound a week is the healthy way, b/c that's the way you are going to be able to keep it up. I've gained 9 pounds this summer, does that make you feel better??? I bet with a nutrionist yesterday and she wants me to keep a food journal and she is going to check it once a week, eek!! I miss you sooooo much :(

I'm SO excited for you getting to FOUR EFFING POUNDS!! Yaaaaay!

And wow about your dad hitting your cyst. I think I would have had some choice words too... damn. Let me know when your surgery is going to be.

I think the kids miss you too. Well maybe just Jackson because I'm pretty sure Addie doesn't know how to *miss* people quite yet. But I'm sure she would love to be held ;) Call me and we'll figure out a good time for ya ;)

Love you!

I did hear that one about you falling. That was a good one. Made me laugh... after I knew you were okay. :)
Remember when I did the food journal thing this summer? It really does help. Cuz you're like "oh i want a cookie. But then I have to write it down and make it permanent. Maybe I'll pass." Good stuff.
Keep it up, woman! :)
