squiggly

OK, a lot has changed since I’ve been on here.   First, let’s start with the non diet news.  I obtained my LPN license.  I passed state boards first time around.  Yippee!!!  IT’s nice to work as a  nurse but a lot harder than I anticipated.

Second, on the diet front.  I gained back all that I lost and about five more. I topped out at 275 but am back down to 268 in the last month.  It’s been hard.  I have graduation on May 14th and I so badly want to lose another 20 pounds.  It’s over two months away and I think I can do it but I really need to get motivated to do it.  I got my Y membership back but don’t use it to my advantage.  Food is for convience.  Nursing is ten times harder than I thought and I come home and am exhausted.  I work 2nd shift but love to sleep in late in the morning. I really need to get my butt in gear and lose this.  This week I’m going to work hard on food and exercise. I have no excuses really not to get it done. I’m going to the Y tomorrow for my weigh in and am expecting a gain.  I’m going to workout while I’m there.  I will work out Monday as well. I’m off on Wednesday and will work out then as well.  I’m involved in the better weigh program with my mother in law at the Y.  With this program, you get a personal trainer. Or should i say you are supposed to get one. We got more of a coach but I’m not getting much from him.  He’s been successful with the program and lost a lot but we really wanted someone who would push us in the exercise portion of weight loss.  I’m also frustrated because even to get together with him isn’t really possible for me.  He is only available in the evenings when I’m at work.  I told them that I needed to have a daytime trainer.  We are going to sign up for it again but I’m going to stress more of what I want and hopefully we’ll get what we ask for.  I want to be successful.  I want to lose this weight.  It’s up to me to make it work.  I’m going to get to the Y three times this week and not eat out.  I will accomplish my goals.
