The week in review

I completely missed out on blogging this week.  It has been a great week!

Monday I went to the doctor and got my cholesterol checked (along with a million other panels), received a tetanus shot (which is still hurting), got a prescription for Chantix to help me stop smoking (too expensive), got a solution to my falling asleep problem (take melatonin to fall asleep, doesn’t keep you asleep and no groggy feeling), and asked the doctor about an ideal weight for me.  First she said 135, but I was down to 135 about eight months ago and still had some to lose so she said then shoot for 125 but she didn’t want to see me lower than that, so that is my goal now.

Tuesday I started back to sparkpeople.com with a vengeance.  I learned that I could lose the 20 lbs in two months.  That would be super nice so I won’t be the fat mama in the summer pictures that we will be taking at the beach (more on that later).  I have decided to go with low calorie, low carb, low fat and high protein  I am tracking everything in spark people and will weigh myself every three days.  I think I might print a calendar to put in the bathroom and record my weight on it on the days I weigh in.  Maybe that will help me stay motivated.

Wednesday (yesterday) was great.  During the week I have done all the laundry, cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed the whole house getting prepared for the weekend.  Hopefully I will get it all done so I won’t have to do everything on the weekend that we’re all home.  Hubs’ parents have put an offer on a beach house and if they get it they want to go down there this weekend, so keep your fingers crossed for that it goes well. 

Thursday (today) is baby day around the office.  One of the guys in IT had a baby this morning and mom and baby are doing great.  Also, one of my co-workers is about to be a first time grandpa today as well.  His daughter is in labor as we speak.  They have given her pitocin and now she has an epidural so we’re hoping some time today all will be GREAT!

More updates later, especially on the weight loss plan.  Someone has to hold me accountable…
