Not much to rant about, except for the fact that I am so crazy busy right now I feel like my head is spinning! I have the normal everyday stuff, eating and drinking and working out, and now DH working tons of overtime, kids in school/daycare, full time school for myself, applying to 3 nursing programs (which all have different requirements for admission)...the list goes on. Throw the fact that I am OCD, super organized and clean, and it makes for a stressful time.
The weather has cooled off just a little here in Mphs...low 90s all week...and a break in the humidity...a hint of fall in the morning air!!!
I'm seeing my surgeon today for my 6 month follow-up. He wanted me to be overweight but I'm still obese. 178.2 on the scale this morning. GRRRRR. I need to be 174.9 to be overweight. Appointment isn't until 1:30 and I get weighed with clothes on so tack on another couple pounds. GRRRRR I have to just let go of not meeting the challenge. I doubt he'll be disappointed in me, but I am. I've done everything that I can with exercise since May 27th when I saw him last. 2-3 hours a day is all that is possible for me with a 9 hour a day job as well. So the tape in my head says... if you had 2 protein shakes and 1 meal you'd be there... blah blah blah...
I read threads about how the first 6 months are the easiest to lose and this six months has felt near impossible for me. Makes me wonder what the next six months will be. Maybe I'm a$$ backwards and the second six months will be easier!!
Next.....
