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!

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.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
