Good Morning everyone! I tried to journal a couple days ago, but it's been a bit crazy. Lets see, where to begin.
Lets go chronologically!
So last week two things happened! I was asked if I wouldn't mind having my workout recorded at the gym and being part of a client spotlight. I did make said video on Thursday and currently have just over 500 views and some very supportive comments. ^_^ I also met a Joey at the gym!! Yup! A baby kangaroo. It was so neat.
I also talked to my trainer about switching from Tues/Thursday sessions to Monday/Thursday. I feel that I just need that extra day between sessions to recoup. And of course I took off this week from the gym because we were suppose to be in Georgia for a 6 day vacation. Which we ended up cancelling due to the hurricane. -_- So 2 months of planning and reservations down the drain. I did get full refunds for my hotel and cabin rental though.
Then I switched gears on Monday from packing/leaving for a trip to putting everything away and cleaning for possible evacuees. Then yesterday, my potential evacuees decided to both stay at their homes since the storm had moved further south east. Ugh what a week.
Had my offical weighin at the doc office on Monday as well, per their records I'm down an even 40lbs now from June. And I don't have to redo blood work til my november appointment.
And I know I've mentioned that I'm in the process of getting approved for weightloss surgery. My appointment with the bariatric surgeon's office was yesterday. They had a cancellation and asked if I would like to move up my appointment. It was good a appointment. Got evaluated, lots of info, and still moving forward with it at this point. The surgeon strongly recommended the gastric bypass for me. I'm still on the fence about it. But I don't feel pressured to make the call for which type I want or event that I'm 100% about pushing forward getting it. The earliest I would have surgery would be Jan/Feb, but I want to see what I can do by myself between now and then.
And that brings us up to today. Down a few more pounds. I haven't been the best at tracking food in the last few days with all the crazy going on, but the scale says I've done okay. So I'm not going to stress it. I did hit the gym this morning for a walk on the treadmill, then the grocery store, since we were out of fruit and cheese and other perishable items.
Today's plan is to take it easy. Have a breather and enjoy the weather. I am planning to go walking later at the park, probably with the family in tow since the weather is beautiful in my part of Florida today. Woke up to the low 60s. It's one of those days that just feels glorious.
Hope everyone is having a great week and rocking it! ^_^
