Lots of Good, a little Bad

With my new job starting I was not sure if I was going to make my fill appointment next week so in a panic I called and scheduled an additional one today. When I realized I could make my appointment next week I called to cancel my adjustment for today. However, come to find out that they mistakenly cancelled my appointment next week and I was stuck with my appointment today. So on a good note I had a fill today, +.5 cc bring me up to 6.5cc. On a bad note, because of this mix up I will not get to see Corrine!! My appointment today was with Pam, who is also WONDERFUL!!! So I just asked Pam to give her a big hug for me and tell her thanks for being so wonderful to me. I'm sad though!!!

Well I have more good notes than bad, now that I am on a new work schedule I can go to the Lahey Lap Band Support Groups on the last Tuesday night of each month! I am soooo excited!!! I have never had the chance to go to one because of work. On another good note I have gone the gym everyday this week!! I am trying so hard to be consistant. I know it will pay off. Also I expressed my concerns to Pam about my new job and not knowing when on earth I will be able to get another fill. You know I don't want to be asking to take a half day every 4 weeks to go get an adjustment. She said that everytime there is a holiday that I have off, that they are working and that if I call her and let her know I can come in early for support gruop and she will give me one because she stays late for support group anyway.

So I just had a bunch of good news to throw at you all!! Thanks for listening, I know I'm not always that interesting lol.

Juggling


I finally got a new job!! For those of you who didn't know for the past 2 years I have been a Receptionist for Lincoln Technical Institute part time and the hours were Mon-Thurs 4pm-8pm and Saturdays 9am-1am. YUCK! So sick of those hours, especially seeing me and my husband are on totally different schedules. We see each other on the weekends that is about it. So after a long time looking I found a new job, that is FULL TIME and with much better hours, 8:30-5:30 Monday through Friday. I am still going to be a Receptionist (gotta do what I love) and it is only 30 minutes from where I live. I am so excited!!!

I am a little concerned with work out time. Right now I am going to the gym for 1 hour per day. 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of 5 Weight Machines. I do get 1 hour for lunch which I could not possibly use a whole hour!! I was thinking perhaps I could walk for 30 minutes and then hit the gym when I get home for 30 minutes to do my machines. I don't know yet, I guess I will take one step at a time and try to figure it out. If anything, even if I don't get to work out as much I will be eating a lot less!!! Being home all day right now I eat a lot more out of boredom and what not so I am excited that I full time job will have me out of the house and preoccupied!!

I would LOVE any advice from any of you who are advanced in the act of juggling work and weight loss!!!


Oh and did I mention I love you guys!!!! You always say such nice things!! =)
