Weigh-in March 12th

I weighed in at 67.8 kilos. That is a small but still substantial loss of 300 grams. I really was only expecting to maintain this week, so I am quite pleased with the outcome. I have come to terms with not reaching my goal by March 29th, my anniversary, but I have readjusted and desire to reach my goal by the end of April instead. If I keep losing around a kilo every two weeks this should not be a problem.

Today I went to the acute medical centre of the hospital where I had my surgery a few months ago because over the past few days I have been experiencing tingling and partial numbness in my fingers.

They sent me home after speaking with my surgeon who recommended I up my intake of anti-inflammatories and had them prescribe me a strong one. He thinks it is a mild case of inflammation around the same nerve root near the area where I had my surgery.

This didn't make me feel incredible, but it did ease my mind. I am supposed to call my doctor's rooms on Monday to report how I've been feeling. I'm thankful that the physio is going to look at my desk on Monday, because I can't take much more of this.

Sorry if you have had trouble with commenting on my site lately. And that apology comes directly from Blogger, who of course is looking after the problem diligently.

I got a indirect compliment from one of my coworkers yesterday. She said that some other person that works in the centre had asked her where I went when I was on holiday (they thought that my extended medical leave was a holiday) and she said, "What do you mean?" And they said, "She looks like she has lost a lot of weight and looks really healthy..." She said, "She had a disc replaced mate."

Oh, and the best news of the day is I bought a pair of size 10 stretchy corduroy pants and I also finally can wear a pair of size 12 (non-stretch) jeans that look and feel good. I bought these jeans right before my trip to the US and hoped to get into them sooner, but it feels so good to wear them.

Here by way of Michele's Meet & Greet!

Congrats on your weight loss! I am trying to lose a substantial amount myself, so I can understand the frustrations at just holding....but that's better than gaining, but you know another loss will happen eventually!

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

All it takes is determination

I got my butt up this morning and did a 20-minute walk/jog, and it was still DARK outside. You proud of me?? Sure you are! I didn't do so well with my eating on the weekend, but this is not going to stand in my way. I know that in order to push through and lose more than what I've been averaging since Christmas (500-800 grams a week) I have got to stick to the Wendie Plan for the rest of this week and to my new lower points intake of 18 a day as well as exercise . I said the dreaded word, but it is true. I can do this. I have decided that there will be no excuses. I will apply to be this year's WW Slimmer of The Year. I can't let anything stand in my way. Thanks to all of you for getting behind me with this. Your support is so crucial because I am feeling high and on top of the world right now, but I know there will be days that I will feel like giving up the fight when I will start thinking it is just to hard and I know I will be going back and reading all your w...

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.
