Yogalicious
Have I mentioned how much I'm loving my Power Yoga class? I just went back today since Mark and I weren't supposed to exercise for the last 2 weeks while our bodies were adapting. We had a substitute instructor today, but the class was still awesome. My plan is to try to get some kind of exercise every day. It's looking like Yoga on Saturday, ( Read more... ) -
Weigh-in Week 2
I had these horrible nightmares that after consuming only 800 calories per day for a week, that I had gained 1 lb. I was very apprehensive when we went to Emory this afternoon, because I don't feel any "smaller." This has also been a crazy week, especially at work, and stress can make your body do crazy things.
Apparently, I was wrong. I lost ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday, Baby!
In the haze and stupor of arriving at the office between 4 and 5 am, I forgot to mention this...
Happy Birthday, Mark!
I love you!

It's what time???
It's about 6:00 AM now. In case you didn't already know, I am NOT a morning person. I got a call at about 4:00 this morning saying that our entire data center was down. Oops. Pesky air conditioning doesn't want to work (and neither do I ( Read more... ) -
Baby Steps
Going back to work on the 800 calories was both hard and convenient. It was hard because the fatigue really kicks in by mid-afternoon, and that made concentrating on anything difficult. However, I was able to quickly drink my lunch and work straight through, allowing me to leave a little early to come home for a nap - thus, the convenient part.

So cute it hurts!
I don't actually watch America's Got Talent (yes, there is at least 1 reality show that I don't watch :-P ), but someone at work sent me this link. I swear that it's not just because I'm baby crazy. This really might be the cutest little girl ever.

Day one down...
Lots more to go. Yesterday was definitely difficult. I think we psyched ourselves out more than anything, although by the end of the day physical hunger (and fatigue) really kicked in. We made it, though... and we can do this.

Mocha-ish coffee... yum?
Just had my first official Optifast "meal." 1 packet Optifast chocolate powder mixed with 1 cup of hot coffee and a packet of Splenda. All-in-all, it wasn't too bad. Next up, vanilla shake for lunch! I'm sure that this will eventually get boring, but mom never really told me that I could eat/drink chocolate for every meal! Who knew? :-)

Weigh-in Week 1
New weight update: In our first week, I lost 6.3 lbs and Mark lost 11.8 lbs. Isn't that awesome?
This was only on the 1200 calorie diet, so it will be interesting to see what happens on 800 calories next week!

Drip, drip, drip...
I found out some interesting things at the cardiologist yesterday. First, I apparently have a "leaky valve." This means that one of my valves is not closing completely, and in the words of the doctor, "spurts extra blood." Apparently, unless I have other complications, this isn't anything to be too concerned about at this time. I also apparently ( Read more... )
