check-in

I would love to report that I just got back from weigh-in and that it was amazing. That I had stayed on plan food wise and worked out all week and that I had a big loss on the scale. But I'm not. In fact, I didn't even go to weigh in tonight. I have a cold. I managed to make it all winter without one and I go and try to do a little spring cleaning and i get sick. So I skipped weigh-in, for the first time since I started Weight Watchers in June. And it's probably a good thing that I did, cause I am positive the scale would show a gain. It just wasn't a good week. I didn't work out very much, I didn;t track hardly so I am not sure how bad I was (though I am sure the answer is bad bad). And it was an emotionally difficult week too, 2 very dear friends passed away. It had definitely been a roller coaster. I am eagerly hoping and praying that this week goes better.

See the problem with being sick is that everything that can be considered a junk food/bad for you sounds good suddenly. Pizza, Taco Bell, MacDonald's, seriously I would not say no if anyone brought them by. The good thing however with being sick is that you don't really have the strength/energy to go out and get said junk food once you get home from work. Meaning you are stuck with whatever "Healthy junk food' you have in the kitchen. You know what I mean, the weight watchers bars, the frozen fruit bars, pirates booty.

but since one of the docs I work with reminded me today that I have worked hard and to not throw it all away in one day (thank you Dr Bhatia) I went with homemade soft tacos.

    I love the "healthy junk food" part. My biggest problem is quantity. Sure a few grabs in the pirates booty isn't going to hurt too bad. But when I sit there and eat half the bag before I make myself stop [because I could go on to eat the whole thing] it kind of counteracts everything. I'm proud of you for pushing through and not giving up! Wish we lived closer so we could be walking buddies or something. Maybe someday. :) Feel better!

    I am proud of you for resisting the temptation, which is so hard to do, especially when you aren't feeling well.

    A week off of WW is understandable, considering your attendance has been awesome. And, you didn't give up or give in. Good job and remember a certain, very pretty, polka-dot dress is wating for you.

Welcome Back and Hip Surgery updates.

It's been a "little" while. As in a long while. And while so much happened in nearly 4 years since my last post, I will save all that catching up for another day. One of the biggest things though is that I had hip surgery earlier this year. I've gone through a lot and I have learned a lot too. In the coming weeks I will be sharing more details about the diagnosis and surgery itself, as well as some tips and tricks I learned surviving the time at home while living alone. For now, however, I just wanted to say "Hi, I'm Back, I've missed this",  and share my week-by-week updates from weeks 1 through 10.  January 20 :  I am HOME! It was a super early morning full of anxiety and nerves. Things rolled super smoothly once there. Pre-Op nurse got the IV started. Surgeon in and reviewed the planned surgery and left his initials on my hip. Anesthesia came in and cleared my airway and went over her part. OR Nurse walked me back to the OR, got me all settled on

Well, it's official. I am registered for my next half-marathon. I am once again doing the Holiday Half in December. It's been on the calendar for months, but I hadn't actually committed. I was kinda stuck. I was super nervous to register because I felt like my training wasn't going anywhere, I wasn't being consistent with it, my long walks weren't happening, the shin pain was back and all that kept me from registering. Yet, I also knew that by not registering I wasn't putting enough pressure on myself to be consistent with the training, because it wasn't official there was still a chance I wasn't gonna committ, so why put myself through it. But it is official now. I have registered, I customized my race bib, I selected my shirt size, I paid extra for the shuttle. I saved the confirmation email in the special folder labeled "race info". Now all that's left to do is pick the perfect race outfit. Oh, and train, I should probably kick the

Well, here I sit, with one of my favorite work perks. GameReady, I am mid 20 minute ice and compression session on my knee. Why on my knee you ask, well, let me tell you. Remember back in in january I told you about how I did a half marathon and made my knee mad and then I fell on the ice and made my knee madder and how I was taking Januray off from most workouts and was back in PT working on making my knee happy? Well we got it mostly happy again, and I started doing my walks again and it was beautiful. My pace was so much better than it was all of last year, and the knee felt better while working out, and the shin splints seemed to be gone. And then, one fateful st patrick’s day, I was doing the laundry, and I twisted, and there was a loud pop, and all the pain and then some came back. So back to PT I went. And my PT said the words I was expecting him to say back in december that he hadn’t “Maybe it is time to think about seeing ortho and getting an MRI”. So I did, well I saw the
