my big fat life

I am still here, still alive and kicking.  Work has really been kicking my ass though and limiting my "me" time. 

I don't think I updated after my doctor's appointments last week.  The band doctor said everything looked good.  If I get below 110 he is going to take fluid out; I was 112 while I was there.  I also went to my GP for the first time in a year.  She had my blood drawn the week before and we went over the results.  My protein is low but I knew it would be.  I bought stuff to make protein shakes but I haven't made one yet.  I just don't like to drink them.  I get Necter and the flavor isn't bad, I just can't get them down for some reason.

She also said my blood sugar is way too low.  Low on the normal spectrum is 70, mine was 60.  I have to start eating more like a diabetic to control my blood sugar.  She said that is one of the top reasons people regain weight is uncontrolled blood sugar. 

I ran outside last night for the first time in months.  We had a cool front come through and the high was 84!  Just as I got off work it started raining.  I can't remember the last time I was that excited to go for a run.  I ended up walking some, but did pretty good for my long hiatus, 3.1 miles and no knee pain today!!  It really made me miss training for a half marathon.  Nothing like running with a mission in mind to keep you motivated.

Today at lunch I get to pick up my boudoir pictures.  I am a little nervous about that.  Still haven't decided how I am going to go about giving them to Dennis.  I am the worlds biggest prude when it comes to stuff like that so I just can't figure out the right time to spring it on him.  I will have to do it this weekend though, I can't keep a secret to save my life.

So, back to work.  Things are going to be crazy for a few more weeks.  It will be a little better once our FY ends at the end of September.
