SunnyDee's Diary

Hey beautiful bum,

wanted to say congrats with the MCATs. :hug2: Sorry you missed TLD, but I'll make sure you remind you next Wednesday. ;) hahaa! As for your decision about not wanting to move in with the boyfriend (financial responsibilities, etc), damn you're a smart one. Alrighty, I'm about to head out to the gym in a few. Just wanted to wish you a great day, doll. Also..welcome back!

Congrats on those MCAT scores and thanks for popping by my diary too :) Its great to have you back on the forum.
Thanks hun! It's great to be back.

Sorry you missed TLD, but I'll make sure you remind you next Wednesday. ;)
You better! Sounds like a good time to me.

Relax and take a little time to breath.:)
Unfortunately, I have soooo much shit to do, so relaxing didn't really happen. However, I get to sleep with my boy tonight, which will make me feel quite stress-free.

"I highlighted my hair. I thought some strains were more important than the others"
I'm giddy with excitement over the Mitch quotes in my diary. You probably shouldn't get me going because I might never stop. Now I need to post just a couple...

"I used to do drugs... I still do. But I used to too."

"An escalator can never be out of order. It can only become stairs. You'll never see an Escalator Out of Order sign, only Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the Convenience."

"I use the word totally too much. I need to change it up and use a word that is different but has the same meaning. Mitch do you like submarine sandwiches? All-encompassingly."
 
Busy day today. I didn't get to bed until late last night, so I was bad and skipped my first class this morning to sleep in a little later. I got to the gym this afternoon after my classes. I took my roommate with me. I'm inspiring her to become a more active person! She's doing quite well. :) She's one of those annoying people who's naturally thin, but isn't at all fit.
I will weigh myself tomorrow. I hope the scale hasn't changed... Unless it was in the downward direction. Even while trying to maintain, I'm not going to complain if I inadvertently drop a few pounds. :p
 
Yes! Mitch Headberg! "I got a king-sized bed. I dunno any kings, but if one came over, I guess he'd be comfortable."

That is awesome about the scores, the moving to be closer to Matt, and the residency/med school situation. I feel you on being poor!! I hope you can "have things" soon!

Congrats on the 150!!!
 
Well wow, you made it to the gym regardless of being tired. I would've skipped it no doubt :rolleyes:.

Those naturally thin folks usually aren't the fittest (my sister case in point..she's never worked out a day in her life, even to lose her baby weight).

Have a good one :).
 
Morning doll,

dropping in to wish you a wonderful weekend full of good lovin'. ;) I'll check in for that weight update, little lady. :hug2: Ciao, girl.

The weight is at 150.6. So no worries there! I don't get mad for anything less than 2 lbs. I would consider anything between 148-152 perfect maintenance numbers.

I must say, I'm proud of myself!

I've done very well with the food and exercise this week. I thought the maintaining mindset would cause me to become a slacker. I did have Mexican food last night, but the only bad thing about it was the cheese. I didn't have anything fried. I went to the gym three times this week and have done lots of walking as well. I only ran twice, as I promised myself. Both times on the treadmill at the gym, where I ran somewhat slowly and clocked my distances as a way to make sure I wasn't unconsciously trying to burn more calories. It's a little difficult for me to get used to not trying to lose because I've been doing it for almost 9 months. I feel like if I'm not strict with myself, I'll "pretend" I'm maintaining, but really be trying desperately to lose more weight. I want to know that I can be comfortable maintaining so that when I get to 145, I can be comfortable and satisfied, instead of spending the rest of my life unhappy with my weight.

For the time being, I feel happy with my body. I feel confident and sexy! Sometimes I'll have fat days, but then I look at recent pictures of myself and think, "Damn girl! Smarten up. You look hot!" Matt and Laura are excellent sources of encouragement. They constantly shower me with compliments, which feels great. :D
 
This post seems very inappropriate in contrast to my last post! Not feeling quite so hot anymore. I wound up in the hospital yesterday and was let out around 1:00 this afternoon. I'm having a flare-up. :( I lost a lot a fluid/blood and had to be rehydrated. My potassium went way down, so they had to take care of that real quick. I was also in a lot of pain, so the nurses kept me good and stoned throughout most of my stay. On the bright side, my hemoglobin didn't drop too much, so I didn't end up needing a tranfusion. The doctors seemed pretty convinced I would end up needing one. Now I still feel like total crap, can hardly stay out of the bathroom and can't eat, but I don't seem to be in any immediate danger. So after lots of begging and bargaining with the team, they decided to let me go home. They want me to start taking Prednisone. :( I'm going to have to do a lot of thinking before I can decide if I wanna go that route. Steroids are nasty little friggers.
Anyway, everybody please wish me luck. I need to keep my symptoms under control enough to keep me out of the hospital. Thanks for all your support.
 
Oh hon, that sucks (understatement I know). I am so sorry to hear about that. Ughhh. Hope you feel better soon and don't have to take the steroids :(
Thinking of you and sending you a hug :eh::hug2:
 
Oh I'm sorry that you're not feeling well. Your maintenance has been outstanding and you do need to smarten up, "you look hot". I just hope your health picks up too :).
 
Thanks, you guys. :) I'm still feeling pretty awful today. I'm having terrible headaches, which leads me to believe I'm quite dehydrated again. Not to mention starving. I don't feel hungry, but my body is very nutrient-deprived. I've eaten about a total of 1000 cals since Saturday night, possibly less. :( I ate a small bottle of baby food today. lol Apple sauce & bananas... quite tasty.
I will be starting the steroids tomorrow. I don't seem to have much choice. It sucks, but it sucks more to be this sick, so I'm just gonna have to go for it.
I don't mean to be such a whiner. :p Forgive me! I'll be feeling great again in no time, I'm sure.
 
Dee, what the hell is going on?!?!? :hug2:

You poor girl! Omigod, steroids are so awful. I want you to be better...but I can't help but think of one of the side effects--gaining! Man oh man I hope you're ok.......

Get well soon!
