The majority of the moving is done, now it's on to the cleaning of the old place and the arranging of the new one. I also learned something about myself... I have a lot of shit. But that's okay. :-)
Weighed in today, have now lost 7.2 lbs total. Yay!
I think my poor Maybel-cat is getting sick. :-( Her ears feel unusually warm, and she's mopey... some might say that it's hard to tell when she's moping and not just her usual lethargic self, but trust me. I'm her mom. I know these things. I guess I'll just keep an eye on her for now, but if she's not turned around by Saturday this will necessitate a vet visit... the last time she had a fever, she also had a bad UTI, so I fret.
Crime around the apartment complex has been getting worse, which is maybe a sign that Kenny and I should get our asses in gear and pack. The one box that I've managed to seal up just sits in the living room and laughs at me... we had a note on our door from the police, basically doing a survey to see if anyone had seen the burglary that took place the other day at the townhouse 2 doors away from us. 2 doors is not that far!
Work on Wednesday was actually slow enough that I had a chance to start reading a new Amy Tan book, Saving Fish From Drowning, and thus far I really enjoy it. Maybe the shifts at the slow store won't be so bad, there's always plenty of reading for me to catch up on, and no one seems to mind if I'm reading as long as all my work is done.
I'll be sneaking a peek at my weight tomorrow while I'm working... I put the scale in the pharmacy, so that at max I can only weigh twice a week. If it was at home I'd be hopping on and off it all day long, and that might be detrimental to the whole weight loss thing.
I'm just rambling with this... good night...
Yesterday was my first "official" weigh-in day for Weight Watchers... I lost 3 lbs! Yaaaay! Only... 97 more to go. Ugh. Let's just focus on the 3 for now. :-)
Heard from my mom today, there has been a change in my sister's diagnosis. Because so many of the presumed MS lesions have disappeared after steroid treatment, the doctor now thinks she has acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (or ADEM). Try saying that five times fast! I was trying to find more information on that condition, but neither google nor webmd produced any articles written in English that I understand. Hopefully when Dad is back from Japan he can give me some insight on what that actually means.
Yesterday was my first day of points-tracking for Weight Watchers, and it went well. I really felt full at the end of the day, and for the most part ate what I wanted and figured out the points afterward. I'll be able to eat even more when I wean myself off of soda... yesterday, a coke and a dr pepper took up 8 of my 28 points. Those bastards! But, I suppose 8 was a good trade off to prevent me from having a horrible caffeine headache.
We're supposed to start packing the house today... not off to a good start so far, since Kenny is asleep upstairs and I'm still in the underwear I slept in and need a shower. Maybe I'll bring the boxes in from my car to help me get motivated. Or maybe I'll just take a long shower. Or play video games. Or figure out how I want to spend my 28 points today. Or look up the number to a moving company that will pack for me.
After work today, I stopped by a store to see about getting some new work pants. It was equal parts unfun and depressing... so I came home and signed up for Weight Watchers. Wish me luck!
