In the days preceding my surgery, I was drinking way less in the way of coffee and alcohol, just kind of on general principle. Also, after fainting last weekend, the last thing I wanted to do was overtax my system and all.

Since getting the surgery, seeing as my kidneys are still recovering and I've got weird tubes in me (and since I was on six ( Read more... )

Now that I've been on my new medication for a few days and all, I thought I'd post a little follow-up for folks ( Read more... )

Before March even started, I made a post in which I predicted that it was going to be a very bad month ( Read more... )

The last few months have been, shall we say, a wee bit stressful.

I can tell they've been taking their toll on me, because ho damn, I am stress-eating like a mofo. In fact, it's so blatant that I know what I'm doing while I'm doing it and yet still I can't bring myself to stop ( Read more... )

After a few weeks of hemming and hawing and telling myself I'd get around to doing something about, I'm, uh... doing something about it.

On Monday of this week, I decided to make a concerted effort to get back on the weight loss bandwagon, since I'd lazily fallen off of it and hadn't gotten back on.

As of Tuesday, I managed to already overshoot my Weight Watchers points allowance for the entire week. :|

FAIL.

So, it's Friday afternoon after kind of a long week. I'm in the home stretch, now, though, and I can see the finish line. I just gotta stick it out for a few more hours and I've got me a weekend. Yay!
