Well things didnt quite start off so well today. I had a doctor appt at 8:20, needed an H & P, an EKG and some fasting blood work. OK, so I get there at 8:00 and she said oh your doctor called in this AM and had a family emergency. Ok, I guess, I will see someone else. They have like 10 docs. But, nooooo, no one has any opening. So I asked them to ask the NP, I kinda know her pretty well. She ordered the lab for me and the EKG. So, at least I was able to get those done today. I will come back for the H&P. It is needed for the weightloss clinic.
Ok, I get to work, and yes someone called out sick. Oh well, no lunch break for me today. Tomorrow is my Friday, then I am on vacation. I am anxious, not a big fan of driving to places I dont go to much. LA is one of them. It should be fun though. Weather might get a bit wet by the weekend. All last week it said how nice it was going to be this weekend. Apparently Mother Nature had a change of heart.

Yesterday I did something stupid
My back has been killing me now for a couple weeks. So yesterday, I thought I would take a 800mg Ibuprofen and half of a flexeril(Muscle relaxer). I usually never take these except at night. But, I thought half should be ok. It wasnt. At lunch instead of walking, I went and took a nap. Ugh, I felt like crap. It made me so frickin tired. Never again. I will just stick with the Ibuprofen.
Today is going to be a nice warm day. I really look forward to walking. I have been out of sorts lately. I am ready to take some time off work next week. It is my daughters Birthday and we will be spending up in LA LA land. We are going to see the Clippers and the Ducks and the Queen Mary. Weather should still be pretty nice. The only damper is the gas prices. But, what can ya do?
I have been experimenting with baby Bok Choy. Its really good. I made a stir Fry with it. I added to my egg white omelet. It was good. Its pretty versatile. I think my next adventure will be spaghetti squash.
I saw a recipe from Hungry girl that looked really yummy.

With things more settled
After my brother was diagnosed with inoperable stomach cancer, we had a lot of estate things to deal with. We had to sell my parents home(which still gives me nightmares). I dont think I will ever get over it. We had several estate sale to sell some of the items me or my three brothers didnt want. I had to drop out of of the weight loss program I was in. I just couldnt continue with all the other crap I was dealing with.
Well, now it is me time. I am starting back on 3/28/12. Now mind you I really havent gained much at all. but, I havent lost either. So I am really excited. I deserve it and I want it.
So, I have to start from scratch again, so Monday I go for my EKG and physical. Then I meet the following week with the RN and MD. Then I start the classes and program 3/28/12. Now, I plan on finishing what I started. The rest of the weight MUST go!

Should I feel guilty?
That our weather has been stunning. Nearly 90 degrees on Sunday. Most of the other states are having absolutely horrible weather. Today should be a bit cooler. On Sunday alone, my son and I went thru two pitchers of home made Iced Tea. The dogs all went into the pool. I was in the kitchen and I yelled at one to get out when I saw the other one was already doing laps. I guess I cant blame them. If the pool water was warmer I would have been in too. I need to look for a cheap bird bath that I can put into the aviary before summer hits. Birds love taking baths.
Went to Costco on Sunday, it opened early so it wasnt crowded at all. I was out of Crimini's and my egg whites and turkey bacon. So, now I am set for a while.
I had to get gas, (not at Costco, line was way to long). Our gas is 4.38 a gal. Man does that suck!
I am hoping for a much better week. Last week was so bad, the stress made my back go out. And to top it off, I had to got to the other Hospital location for another Labor relations meeting Friday afternoon. I parked on the street and some real dick hit my car as he pulled out from behind me. He didnt even leave a note(of course). I think that was the final straw. I came home and just sat in my big chair and didnt want to move. I thought it was worse than it really was, the husband and son both clean it up and it turned out to be just a small scratch in the paint, no dent and very fixable. But still I am so glad the week was over. Today, I actually feel better, my back isnt hurting, no heart palpitations. So, wish me luck!

I am down on my knees
Thanking God for Friday.
This has been the week from Hell. It has really been affecting me mentally and physically. Last night, my sweet son, built me a fire in the fireplace before he left for school. He got home about 7:00pm. I was in so much pain. Its kinda strange, the stress at work has thrown my back into a tizzy, but my back does not hurt when I walk at lunch(isnt that strange?). So, back to the fire, we have this oversized chair near the fireplace so I laid sideways on it, with my feet dangling near the warmth of the fire. I really could have fallen asleep, my back was comfy and feet were toasty. Later on I decide to get up and clean the kitchen before I went to bed. That is when the S#^t hit the fan. I slighty moved and the pain was unbearable. I couldnt get up. Then I started to get the thigh spasms that would bring a elephant to his knees with pain. I cried out for my son, I started to panic mostly due to the pain being so unbearble. My son came and slowly helped me get up. But, I was so afraid that the thigh leg spasm would come back. I really, really cant handle that pain, it is so bad that my ears start to ring. So I just sorta sat there. So I finally started to walk, my sweet boy cleaned the kitchen for me. I took a Xanax and went to bed, laid still, afraid to move, but blessedly I was able to fall asleep, thanks to the Xanax.
This morning, I feel better, the back isnt hurting much and no leg pains. So, I plan to walk at lunch, then go to a meeting at 1:00, but when it is over I'm outta here.
