Hi Malia,

I took 2 weeks off from work. One week was spent in San Francisco and one week to recover from surgery. I was ready to go back to work before the week was up because I was bored and driving my mom crazy.  But that's just me, lol. My friend who had surgery before me took four weeks off just to make sure that she was fully recovered before she went back to work. I think it also depends on what type of work you do. I spend about 60% of the day sitting at a desk and don't do any strenuous lifting so I felt comfortable coming back to work after a week.

Hope this helps.
Ole

 

Nicole,
Thanks for your posting. God must have been whispering in your ear.  I have finally discovered that I am a work addict.  I have not been losing any weight for about 3+ weeks and my exercise has suffered.   I love work and don;t even realize how much I let it take over my whole life.  I have decided to cut back my hours this summer and spend more time on me.  I am also going through my budget and seeing where I can cut to live and work less.  I will share any tips I find.  Good luck to you and thanks for your post.   Sara

Hey gurl...im about 35lbs away from goal so to me, not close enough...lol but thanks for the support! Way to go for you! keep it up!

 Thanks for everyone's support.  Yes, Asia, my husband as an awesome job... unfortunately I have an awesome habbit of spending every cent!!  I've been good though... cut out a lot of expenses and am looking for more ways to trim the budget.  

I know we'll be fine, but you know, when it rains it pours.  Yesterday we went to the beach and someone hit my truck while it was parked... no note left, so I guess that's for me to pay for hu?  

Our DVD player broke last night so I guess I can cancel the Netflix membership now (haha).

I'm going to Hilo tomorrow to see Dr. Fowler, so at least I have that to look forward to!  Maybe he'll give me a fill and the weight will start dropping again.  God knows I'm eating next to nothing and exercising for an hour a day!  Sigh!

Have a good day everyone!

I am so glad you could do this.  If I did such a thing I would lose everything including the kitchen sink.  Your dh must have a great job.

Aloha,
Asia
