Trying to get my mind right...

Jul 14, 2009

So I am still waiting to hear back from the insurance company, and I promised myself that I will not call them to check on the status AGAIN  until at least Wednesday. I know that I need to just relax, but I can not. Anyway, yesterday I put myself on a liquid diet to try and shed the 10 pounds that I have gained by stuffing my face due to the stress of waiting for this insurance approval. It really wasn't that bad, during the day I had two protein shakes, about 96 oz. of water, and another 32 oz. of water with SF snapple mixed in. For dinner I had a sauteed chicken breast, new potatoes, spinach (for the first time in my life I took my time eating and I stretched it out to 20 minutes), and about 20 more oz. of water. I also worked out for 45 minutes yesterday (30 min. on the treadmill and 15 minutes of lightweight training). Instead of eating all day like I usually do, I started reading "Twilight" (I bought the first 2 books of the series to see what all of the hype is about with my kids and students), and it's actually pretty good (read 137 pages). Thank GOD it was a GREAT DAY!!!!!

Today I started out the same way, worked out for 45 minutes, had 1 protein shake so far, and I am working on my water. I figure if I start working on the diet now, then I can get the first available surgery date, and I will have already lost whatever weight Dr. Turnquest wants to be gone before surgery. I am hoping to get under 300 pounds before surgery, depending upon when I can have it done, because if they call me today, I am trying to get in tomorrow . Well enough of my rambling... I pray that today is just as productive.
