Good news at last...

[lithera]

Went to the doctor yesterday and found out I've lost 14 pounds since I was there last, about a month ago. It was giddy. Heck. I still am giddy. Now, I just have to not freak out about it and keep on going. Last time I lost weight, I had a panic attack about it and stopped. I'm determined not to let that happen again. We'll see how well I do.

This re-enforces going to the gym in the mornings. That much is certain.

At work early this morning in hopes of making up some of the time I've missed between not going in Monday and having a doctor visit yesterday.

I really like my doctor. She's chatty and socialble and I can talk to her. It makes things much easier since she listens to me and I can really tell that she does. Wheeeeeeee.

I'm going to sleep a little earlier now. Probably a good thing. I'm going to try to actually go to sleep when I first start getting tired. I know that seems obvious but it isn't something I've been doing.

What else... I have no idea. Probably something. I'll remember later.

Congrats! go you!

Thanks! The real challenge will come when I can start to see the difference in the way I look. That's when I'll have to start making sure I'm not sabotaging myself somehow.

Huzzah! That's a lot for a month!

I know! I'm thrilled about it. It's really simple, too. While what I'm doing it low carb, I've essentially stopped eating all of the junk I normaly eat and replaced it with veggies. I miss pasta, rice and potatoes but I can bring them back over time. In fact, when I got out for lunch I often have some rice, being in the International District.

Hey, congratulations to you on the loosing of the weight. And how's about that going to bed when your tired? In my world that involves getting ready for bed before my eyes start to burn and turn red. Again, it seems obvious, but it's been a serise of lightbulb moments this week.

Heh.

Sleep is for the weak!

[eggiebert.livejournal.com]

I never claimed to be otherwise!

And the meek shall... Go to bed while someone else inherits the earth... Or somesuch.

[jameel.livejournal.com]

Neither did I. So very weak....

Thanks!

Yeah. I know. I was staying up until I was falling over or really tired but I've noticed that if I go to sleep when I first start feeling tired (like my first yawn) that I sleep better. Go figure.

Now I've lived with myself for 25 years, you'd think I'd have caught on by now, but Nooo.

;-)

I know. I've never really put that one together over my 26 years of living with myself. *shrugs* Strange.

Two decades here (well, I'll be 2 decades old in just under 8 hours, actually), and while I figured out the whole when to sleep thing a while ago, I haven't really made much use of it? Most of my brilliant ideas go wasted, so it's nothing unusual.

Holy crap, congratulations!

[lithera.livejournal.com]

*bows* Thank you.

[warpdragon.livejournal.com]

God damn. That's awesome. Congratulations.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I needed the boost too. I was beginning to flag a little on the willpower.

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

Wow! Congratulations! Yay!

[lithera.livejournal.com]
