Down, but not out!

I'm here, been very sick and extremely irritable but I'm still around, I will be back to my regular posting schedule this Monday. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Blue Mondays

This morning I was sitting in the infusion waiting room bored out of my mind and freezing my butt off (I feel bad for these people, they are already suffering from cancer, they have to come to treatment and freeze their bottoms off to boot ) and I get this from http://www.facebook.com/SunshinesJourney

I am looking for 9-10 people who are not part of the challenge yet that would like to still join. Rather than adding to the teams, I would like to start a new team... let's see if a team full of rookies will give the other teams a run for their money! ;) Email me RIGHT AWAY if interested at sunshinesjourney@xxx.com Any emails I get after the deadline, I will respond back and get you on a team next week! ♥

I start at the message for a minute and think to myself and think, "Why not?" So I send her my current weight and tell her I would like to be apart of the team.. Not long after that she says "Welcome to Team Blue! Send a picture of yourself wearing blue or a sign....It's kissmet because I'm wearing blue today... I ask my mother if she could take a picture of me...and as you can see it's not the greatest picture, but mom isn't all that techno savvy and asking her to take a picture of me with my blackberry is like asking her to drive a car with her pinky toe.

So that was my day!

 

One of those days

I'm not sure if it was because it's Friday or because it's was a foggy and rainy day, but I was dog tired today.. After my morning obligations I returned home around 10:00am only to go back to bed and wake up at 4:00pm and I'm still tired. I know my body is not used to the new things that I am doing to it.. and maybe this is my body's way of telling me to knock it off....but I'm hard headed and I like to have things my way... so I'll contiune on this journey...

I got on the scale today... I decided that when I did this that my official weigh-in day would be Friday's. Let me say I wasn't expecting anything since I started this Monday and had lots of yummy BBQ to celebrate the end of summer...So this mornign I get on the scale with my smug know-it-all attitude and low and behold... 4 pounds... I LOST 4 pounds!! That was the best way to start the day.

This weekend I'll be heading to Milwaukee for  Froederts & The Medical College of Wisconsin's 12th Annual Transplant Picnic. I'm excited to see my team, and hear doctors speak about transplant related issues, and all the great SWAG I get... did I mention the event is catered my Saz's... my mouth is watering already.. I'm sure my bestie will want to do something active, the last time I was in Milwaukee, She made we walk through the grocery store for fours hours then made me cook her dinner, I'm hoping she'll be gentler on me this time around.

Clearly I over did it on the fats today... gotta work on that

I found my self saying this a lot this week, and this might be my daily weight loss mantra. RECOGNIZE, REGROUP, and REDO. Every day's not going to be a good day, there will be days when I will slip up, but everyday is a change to change and start over again.... until next Monday.....
