Hi to Everyone! Decided to restart another diary. I hit my goal of 50 pound weight loss last November, and have been pretty much keeping it all off. I have had two bad asthma attacks in the last three months, and had to resort to Prednisone :(, which caused a gain of about 3 pounds. I've learned many things since last November, some of which have to do with my weaknesses. I am definately an emotional eater. Keep me away from pizza.
I love cheese. I'm addicted to one Clif bar a day in the morning, have to have it!!! I'm discovering I like to work with hand weights. I still hate abdominal exercises. I don't always drink enough water. Well, I'll add more as I go along.
 
Got on the scale, 1/2 pound to go til back at goal weight. Phew!! Man, I hate Prednisone...but when I need it, it works. I have a doctor's appt in a few weeks (eye doc), I'm nervous because every time I go he tells me something scary...
 
I called the college where I had been working on completing my BSN, and am getting re-enrolled. Time to move on with my life. The closer I am to getting this done, then I can start focusing on a master's degree.
I've been exercising more, and am feeling the benefits. Weight loss has changed so many things for me.
 
Thanks Randy, however, you are the pacesetter for that around here!! I had been toying with going back to school, but not finishing my degree in nursing.
Rather suddenly it occured to me to just call the place up and see what I've have to do to re-enroll. It took $50, and sending the admissions rep a copy of my current nursing license, and my work history for the past five years.
Bingo, they're looking over everything, and will let me know what I have left to do. I'm so far into the nursing degree, that it would be foolish not to finish.
Like approx 90 credits worth, and I need 128 to graduate, why throw that away. What put me on this road was getting extremely upset about something that happened at work. I was so mad it was consuming me. I finally decided to stop the negativity, and make a positive plan. I did that to lose the weight, I can do this with my job. I hope to be applying to a master's program in a year to fifteen months.
