I
had meant to check in yesterday after my WW meeting. It ended up
being a busy day.
I
had met with my WW leader Donna on Monday for coffee. I knew she had
taken a leave of absense the last few months and was curious on her
decision to continue with her meetings. Sadly, next Tuesday is her
last meeting. I am so sad to see her go but also very happy for her.
I will make sure we stay in tough and get together often. She has
been so important to me and my WW journey. I was talking in the
meeting with other members and one said Donna is the only leader she
has had. I remember the impact losing my first leader had on me.
The new leader is a brand new leader with WW so we are anxious to
meet her. Thankfully I am able to attend Donna's last meeting next
week.
When
I arrived home from vacation, I debated getting on the scale. On one
hand I knew I needed to get back on track ASAP and seeing the scale
number can help my mindset. On the other hand, I didn't know if I
wanted to see the number. I ended up gaining 7.3 pounds on vacation.
They say you gain an average of one pound a day on a cruise. I
guess that was true for me. I knew it was mostly temporary and
perhaps only actually gained 2 pounds. I got my tracker out on
Sunday and re-focused. When I did my home WI on Tuesday before me
meeting, 5.3 pounds had already dropped off. Donna gave me a 5 pound
star in my meeting when I was talking about my temporary weight. I
always feel is is temporary
but only if you get yourself back on track right away.
I
had a noon hair appointment with a new gal I'm trying out (cheaper
than my last hair dresser and a more friendly environment) and then
met my mom and Emma for a movie. We saw the new Reese Witherspoon
movie, Home Again. It was cute. Emma did good despite being bored
and having no interest in the movie. She was home from school with
an eye infection but didn't want to miss out on any fun. We met Dad
after for ice cream at DQ and then I ran errands at Costco, Fred
Meyer, and Walmart. It is nice to have groceries in the house again.
My
eating yestereday was crazy but that is always the good thing about a
new day. I get to start fresh. I have a training for work this
afternoon and then I am back to work starting tomorrow. This is my
last week of a mix of swing shift/graveyard shift and then my aunt,
mom, sister Jenny, and I all head to Missouri to see our family in
both Kansas City and Lebanon. When I return from MO on October 6th,
I'll officialy be back on day shift. You don't know how happy this
makes me feel. Just the extra pep in my step I get being up when the
sun is speaks volumes. Of course Fall means early sun set but that
is okay. I am just happy to be back on a normal shift. Sadly, not
weekends off but that is okay. I am not a stagnant person and being
on graves for the last nine months has been rough. I am hoping next
year I can bid two day shift rotations and two graveyard rotations.
That will also work best with Kenyon.
Now,
after rotating to a day shift for vacation, I gotta rotate back to a
grave shift for my last week. I'm not having much luck staying awake
really late these days.
