I'm baaack! Weird limbo/off pattern phase.

I left town to find a new place. I move out of state in less than a month.  I also stopped by my future job.  So much to do.  Anyway, I get back in town. Word is out that I am leaving. 2 parties are scheduled. I have a lunch or dinner date every day this week. 

I would like to not weigh myself until the end of next week. But I will do it sooner since I have a doctor's appt.  I like to weigh myself in the morning of a doctor's appt, especially if the appt is at the end of the day. This is so that I know the correct weight and not freak out at the fully clothed with shoes weight that they get at the end of the day.

It is a good chance that I haven't lost since the gallbladder surgery at the beginning of this month due to my eating. I've avoided scheduling good bye meals and parties for next week. So, I should be back to cooking for myself by then. In the meantime, I am focused on water, walking, and portion control.  I also throw away alot of food which seems wrong. 

This is a happy time in my life. People are so excited for me because the last few years have been a struggle.  However, I need to get the celebrations under control.

 Wow. Our lives are sooo in sync right now!!  Congratulations on the move.  You have been working so hard and been so diligent, Im not even worried about you.  

Thanks alot.  I just returned from another dinner. I just declared that I do NOT have to complete the list of great local restaurants.  It's ok if I miss some. I also threw away the left overs and cancelled the Thursday lunch.  My Wednesday lunch is with my friend who had Rny so we will eat on program together.  I'm readjusting my Friday plans because the restaurant must-do list is now defunct. Whatever was not covered by tomorrow's lunch (wednesday) will not be covered. By the time of my first party on Saturday, I will be good to go. 

Right now, I have no plans for next week other than going to visit elderly relatives. They are past the cooking stage.

Oh. I've been cleared to go to the gym!  I'm ready to get my sweat on!

Sounds like a very exciting time in your life. And you deserve to celebrate with friends. As you said, they are all thrilled for you. That's a wonderful support system.  

 It seems like you have a handle on the lunch and dinners. This too will soon pass and you'll be back to normal living (if there is such a thing).

Glad you seem to be feeling well and good luck on the move---new job---new place to live---exciting!

Enjoy with in the reasonable amounts...you know the grind! Really it is about enjoying the space and time with friends and family!!! It is much easier to keep routine, but hang in there and keep awareness at the forefront! CONGRADULATIONS on all the changes happening and best wishes always!! You will do great!!

You have done fabulous!

Hugs,
Sherrie

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys. This is a special time. It is definitely not my normal pattern so I should enjoy it.
