TTT - already

1. I finally met my initial goal weight. The last two days my weight has been 120.4!! I was so freaking happy. I wore a size 0 pants to work yesterday. Granted they were bigger than a typical 0 but still!!!  Onward to 118.


2. My sweet little Hunter, my almost 12 year old lab mix, has to have surgery tomorrow to remove a fatty tumor from his groin area. He has problems with his hip and gets acupuncture and monthly adequan shots, which help a lot. Both his regular vet and the Eastern medicine vet think this will help with his mobility but mommy and daddy are a nervous wreck. He will have to have a drain tube in for a few days after so I am going to stay home with him the first couple of days and his daddy will stay with him the next few. He may be a little spoiled.

3. I haven’t worked out once this week. Not once. My knee is still sore from the injection that I got on Monday, it is bruised a little but damn what do you expect from a 3 inch long needle. I am so not looking forward to having this process repeated twice over the next two weeks.

4. It is almost summer, I am probably in the minority but I HATE summer for many reasons.
- bugs
- kids EVERYWHERE – I am not a kid person (sorry)
- I have a heart condition and it is exasperated by the heat. I can’t run outside in it or my heart rate
goes sky high, like 220, in a very short time. Although the doctor’s have said it isn’t dangerous, it isn’t comfortable either.
-I don’t like being hot, but you can’t just wear shorts because if you go inside anywhere it is 4 below.
-summer just makes me feel lazy.
I am sure there is more but I think you get the idea. It is already in the 90’s here and I am miserable. It is going to be another summer of 114 degree days.

5. Despite my grumbling I am in a pretty good mood; much better than last week.

6. I went to the grocery store to stock up on everything since I don’t plan on leaving the house this weekend. I got really light headed so I decided to stop and eat at the Mexican place next door. I got an ala carte enchilada and a margarita (probably didn’t help my light headed feeling but it was $1.49!) and got change back from a $5 bill. I couldn’t finish my food. My wallet sure does love my band even if I do cuss it sometimes.

7. I ordered a board to hold my half marathon medals from this season. If you google lifespeed sports you can see what they look like. Mine is going to hold 6 medals, since I hope to do 2 more this year, and have “half fanatic #2424” on it. It will take 6 weeks so I am a little anxious about that. I am an instant gratification kind of gal.

8. I want a bikini so bad but I am not comfortable with my stomach, it is all saggy. I need to bite the bullet and go to a real store like Dillards and try some on instead of Ross or Marshalls. The bottom part of my stomach is fine so if I can just find a tankini that covers the top part of my stomach I would be happy. I haven’t really been looking for one since I can’t wear a two piece to aqua jogging (it is at Oral Roberts University pool). But, I have season passes for the water park and it will be opening soon. I want to step out of my box a little bit.

9. I left my cell phone at home today and I am about to go nuts. I am going to have to go home at lunch and get it because I can’t handle being without it. Luckily I remembered to put my nano in my purse so I have some music to listen to.

10. I need a book to read. I am not the 50 shades of grey or whatever it is called kind of person. I am more of the psychological thriller kinda gal; like Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Jonathan Kellerman. I can’t seem to find anything new on Amazon or from the digital selections at the library except chick lit…maybe another reason I hate summer. I don’t plan on doing much actual work tomorrow, my goal is to find the perfect book to read over the weekend.
