Topic: Come On Already...........

Hello All -

So I am irritated with my insurance company, the surgeons office etc.....

Surgeons office - gave me two incorrect dates of when they faxed in my paperwork. Frustrating!

Insurance Company - recieved my paperwork on the 18th of July.....but they didn't have it entered into their system until 2 days ago.......it is still under review - today is day 10 from submission on the 18th regardless of when they enter it into their system and this is their last day to make a decision........makes me so nervous.

I am freaking out b/c I will cry and pull all of my hair out if they deny me. I have done everything that they have asked me to do. I am getting lots of pressure from my job regarding when I will be out of the office and for how long........so I say.....Come On Already!

Did anyone else have to deal with this? Has anyone been denied for surgery?

I have the same problem at night when I am home. I do much better at work where I am busy enough not to feed my face all the time--I still do, but there are natural limits, LOL.

Well done, Ladies! I am still struggling a bit. I know what I need to do, just need a kick in the pants/more motivation I guess. Really, I need to get back to work. I just don't have the skills down for being home so much with easy access to food all day.

Topic: End of July weigh-in: how's your summer?

Good Monday morning, everyone. Hope you are all having a fun-filled and healthy summer.

Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 140.9
This week: 139.8
Loss of 1.1 lbs this week

I don't know that this loss is completely "real," since I was up over 142 for part of the week. The humidity really gets me, and I've been eating like a pig! At least I've mostly been able to restrict myself to healthy snacks--I'm loving apples and blueberries this summer.

I ran fewer miles this week, but they were all really challenging miles. Either extreme heat, or 800m intervals at speed, or the Quarter Marathon race on Saturday. Total of 19.2 miles, with an overall average speed of 10:18/min/mile, which is my fastest average ever. It's good to see improvement anyway.

So what about that group bike ride? Is anybody interested? What about after Saturday coffee sometime? Or I'd love to run with anyone after coffee on Saturday August 4th.
