Oh yeah, it's been a while. Since I last wrote I quit my crappy job and started a better one where I don't cry nearly every day. In fact I have an off day maybe once every few weeks. And I've been there almost as long as I was at the other job.
I lost 30 # and made lifetime at weight watchers.
I started hating my car. I loved that thing when I got it. Black, sporty, fin, leather interior, sun roof, Cd changer MP 3 player, auto everything. We, over the last 6 years it's gotten old; of course. I had the brakes replaced a couple years ago and they squeak. We took it to a brake shop and they said they don't touch my kind of car because the brakes just squeak. So we took it to the dealer and there was nothing wrong with it. Then a few months ago it started making a weird noise and needed a new CV joint. I took it to an auto mechanic I sound on Craigslist. I would advise against this, even though it saved me $150. On Monday it was making a noise like it had a flat tire but it didn't. I couldn't drive around two counties all day long like that so I took it home and took Tom's truck. He drove my car the next day and asked about my brakes being soft. He checked the brake fluid and it was low so he filled it. The next day the brakes weren't working well again so he checked the brake fluid again and it was low again. The next day he took the front tire off and the brake line had been rubbing against the tire and broke. Great. So we drove it, carefully, to the dealership that night. The next day they called us with our $550 estimate. I went in and asked why it cost so much to fix a brake line. So they took me in to see the car. When the Craigslist guy fixed it he didn't put the brake line back, he broke the strut, so they have to replace all of that, plus the $1,000,000 an hour for labor. Great. Should have just taken it to the dealer in the first place. We may have paid $300 instead of $700.

Time to catch up
I haven't written in a while. Life has been crazy an hectic. I will write about my weight loss, though, since that has mostly been the topic of this blog. I'm not going to go into weekly weigh-ins, but as of today my total weight loss has been 27.4 pounds. I chose a goal weight (which may be different from the one I had the last time I wrote). I'm 6.8 pounds away. I'm getting anxious and just want to get there!
Like I said, life has been hectic. So my crap going on. Seriously, it's a bunch of crap. So much shit I don't even want to deal with anymore. UGH. I need to make some decisions. I think I have made them, I just need to move on from here.

Can't Sleep; Catching Up
Well, I can't sleep so I thought I'd do some way overdue catching up. I've been slacking on this!
After my last blog, my weigh-ins were:
3/17/11: -0.4 pounds for a total of -16.2
3/24/11: -2.6 pounds for a total of -18.8
3/31/11: +1 pound for a total of - 17.8
4/7/11: -3.4 pounds for a total of -21.2
So I started thinking that I'm getting close to my goal weight, or what I had chosen for a goal anyway, and I hadn't talked to anyone about it. I started wondering if I had picked the right weight, how would I know it was the right weight, etc. So I went to one of the drop-in sessions and talked to the leader who was there. She was so helpful. She showed me the healthy weights for my height and suggested I start with a goal at the top of that range and maintain that goal for a while then I can move my goal down if I am comfortable doing that. It sounded like a good plan to me since the goal I had chosen was just 5 pounds less than the top of the range of healthy weights. It's almost like practice for maintenance. In order to start maintenance you must be within 2 pounds of your goal weight and I am 1 pound away. I'm a little leery about whether I lost that pound or not. You see, I had a friend over on Friday and drank a couple glasses of Kahlua -- quite a bit of carbs and alcohol sugar. When I drink more than a glass of wine a couple times a week I tend to gain weight or not lose. I guess we will see what happens. Then of course I am worried about maintaining. What if I go over one week? I wear the same clothes to weigh in every week, will I wear those forever? I need to relax!
I plan on walking the 5K during the Colorado Marathon on May 1. I was hoping my sister would walk it with me but I'm not sure if she'll be able to or not. Then on May 7 I'll be walking in the MS Walk for/with one of my patients. There is a reason to increase my exercise. I've been doing hour long walks on the weekend but I'm going to need to fit it in during the week, too. Not only is Sam getting really tired when we go for walks, now he's developed a cough. I'm getting worried about him.
