I'm on a diet/update on other things
Well, I did it: I got off my ass and went to a dietician. I did it on my own. My doctor didn't even suggest it.
The dietician put me on a low carb, no sodium, exercise 5x a week diet. After I got my list of what was good and bad, I was/am determined to stick to it. Well, the food part is working at least. I have my one cheat day, although this week i've slipped up by having a soda, a beer, and one more roll than I should. I will be more on track next week (and well, i AM on my period!). I'm making it known (to everyone) that I am on this diet and the people i chat with at work in the break room are supportive. Oh yeah, and I am keeping a food journal.
Yeah, and the working out thing is toughy, but only cuz im not a morning person when I don't have to be at work till noon.
But, I will do this. I'm doing this for me and me only. I'm in no hurry to lose a lot of weight, but losing some will keep me healthier. and I want to do this the right way.
In other news, I got my yearly raise at my job, still hate my job but grateful to have one, getting closer and closer to patrick and I am a 100% sure he's the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, mom is getting better, Ash has changed the wedding to doing the justice of peace thing and keeping it simple.
And well, I'm prepping myself for my first paid vacation in June. I will be coming to South Louisiana for it, from June 18-22. And it can't come soon enough. But, it is unexpectedly making me prepared for the emotions that are going to come with this trip. After all, I am going to my 10 year high school reunion. I didn't really think anything of it until I started digging up stuff out of my rubbermaid hope chest. I came across a newspaper...our last edition and well, something in me crumbled. Same with a few other things in the box. I was once again reminded how fucking hard of a year 1999 was for me. Not to mention, it's crept into my dreams. So, I will be going down there with a bottle of xanax and patrick, trying to remind myself that it's all in the past.
