How was your day?

So I am at work for an hour or so this morning when I notice my wedding band is NOT on my finger, only the engagement ring. I search everywhere at work including the trash can in the ladies room. I called my husband and asked him to check my jewelry box, he said he didn't see it. So I sulked all day long.

Got a call from my youngest son's speech therapist @ school  saying he was being uncooperative. Not rude or anything just not participating.

On the way home from work got a text from my son saying he wasn't picked up from school.


I wore an outfit to work today that was a size 22 (i started out at 28) I looked and felt very good  

My co worker looked at me and said WoW you are really coming down  (none of co workers know I had surgery)

I found my wedding band that wasn't lost at all. I just got distracted while I was getting dressed this morning so I only wore 1/2 the set.

I was able to pick my son up from school and it only took me about 5 minutes to get there from where I was 

A larger (450+/-) lady at BJ's told me she wish she was my size and had my shape 

Leaving Zumba tonight walking to my car a lady who I've seen in class before and may have said hello to in class stopped me and said " you are really coming down!!!" 

OH and the 87 degree weather wasn't bad ether

That was my day. How was yours????

How nice to see how God turned your day around !!

 Woke up to a gain on the scale and it didnt bother me at all. 

Went to work, found out my special boy interest would be hanging around me for the day and just about died from happiness. (how the hell can I have this insane 16 yr old like crush on someone that is totally off limits!!??)

Ate a bajillion and one cookies - and loved every bite. And then, instead of kicking myself in the butt, went to the gym at lunch and ran my butt off (ie, set a huge record for myself and ran a 10:44 min/mile!!)

Was very very productive at work - totally rare these days. The cookies helped my energy and focus, crap, bad correlation for my weight loss plans. 

After work, decided i needed to see boy interest #2 (ie spin instructor) and went BACK to the gym for a little workout. Had dreamy thoughts on the stair climber lol. 

Went and checked out a new gym, and fell in love with the guy working there who was hot as hell. And we chatted it up for a bit, and then I fell in love with the gym. 

So, I'm home, happy as can be. I think I'm a total ragingg bag of hormones these days. Divorced + feeling good about my body - help us all!!

Errands galore.  So much to do that I woke up at 2am to make a list.
-made 4 phone calls
-post office
-credit union for change of address and number and to pay my surgery bill
-bank
-(skipped pharmacy)
-gym to cancel membership

At the gym, one of my old abusive trainers was walking out as I was walking in. I guess he is no longer working at the other gym. He is not working at my current gym either. He was there to workout. I looked dead in his face and acted like I didn't recognize him.

I spoke to the owner (my former trainer who was really good) and he said that I was probably one of hte top 2-3 transformations in the gym. He gave me a t-shirt in my current size.  Great guy.

lunch

get to work and realize that I skipped the pharmacy. Crap!  I work late tonight and will have to go to the pharmacy after work.

Quite productive on one project but really stalling on another because my mind is at a lost.  Then with an hour to spare, I recover.  But then receive a phone call saying that my closing date is moved for the 4th time. I go off because I leave town on Wednesday to find my rental.

My evening meeting went very well but longer than expected. I went to the pharmacy on the way home, but it wasn't really on the way. I made an incredible salad for tomorrow.  Mostly good day, definitely blessed. Tired.  The old me would have had  fast food 2-3 times today.

 first day back to work after a 6 week med leave for surgery...

on balance it was mostly a good work day - but I was annoyed to find out that an HR matter I wanted escalated hadn't been dealt with at all.

leaving the parking lot I scraped the side of my car against a protrusion on the wall - concrete, of course...(my poor car!)

realized that the unresolved HR issue meant I was going to have to resign from the board of a not for profit I helped to found until it was resolved...shed a few tears over the resignation letter

then got some possibly bad financial news that hopefully we'll get clarity on tomorrow.

surprisingly I have not drowned my sorrows in junk food...I've actually had a good food day and got in a short walk at lunchtime.

Got back from an almost romantic vacation along the Oregon Coast (I got my period the night we drove down).

Sprung a leak -- I developed a seroma, it started looking iffy on Friday night, knew by Sunday, "Yup, it's an infection..." Called the doctor's office umpteen times for an appointment, drove 6 hours, only to have it POP before the appointment.  Sigh.  On the UPSIDE, no needle or proceedure to releive the pressure.  Two weeks antibiotics & light duty.

My daughter needed to driven to the shipyard in Seattle before my doctor's appointement.  My daughter just got her AA in Applied Science & may have a Journeyman ONE Position (in this economy) right out of school!  I love my kid!  But, she needs to pay rent, she'll be making more moola than ME!

I am sporting size 22 jeans, eventhough I soiled them with goo (crime scene photos available).  Haven't worn a 22 in like a bijillion years!!!  I love my panniculectomy!!! (See blog Nov/Dec 2011 for info how to get it covered).

Life is fabulous, even when there are bumps in the road!!!!
