It’s almost 10:30 at night on Monday. I am having trouble sleeping lately, a lot of anxiety. There’s a lot going on with people around me and in my life and as I tend to really feel other people’s grief and anxiety when I am close to them it doesn’t help when I have my own anxiety. Massive panic attacks over the weekend. Lots of fun.

In other news – I have been confirmed for Lasik eye surgery at the end of this month! There are only 2 weeks left until I get some ativan. Er.. I mean, until I no longer need my glasses!

Also..um.. I completely forgot what my also was!

Oh, yes! So after a month back at curves full time (well, two times a week, plus 3 time the last week in January) I have actually lost an inch on my thighs and a half inch almost everywhere else, except for a couple of 1/4 inches (arm and er.. something else?). I went down a whopping 0.5 pounds BUT 0.3% in body fat, which is pretty sweet. This is all with having NO activity or gym visits last week for an entire week and eating like crap while I was sick. I am happy with the results, I mean I am not happy with the weight number since it went up since May as I wasn’t able to DO anything when the pain got so bad, but I know me. As long as I am active I will drop in size and that’s really all I want. These pills are working and I hope my doctor keeps me on them when I go for my 3 month follow-up next week.

It’s not a lot. I know that… but I’d say losing an inch on my thighs in 4 weeks is something. I’m happy with it! I went today and will go Wednesday or Thursday this week (maybe both!). I have to get back on the Wii Fit, but I have been so tired after work since getting sick last week. To be honest, I’m terrified about what it’ll say to me with over a week since my last Body Test. heh

  • Hey, something is something, right? Just keep going when you can. :)

    I’m sorry you’re having anxiety attacks. Those are no fun.

  • Well done! An inch is huge!

    I’ve been going to the gym and trying to eat a lot less, though I tend to be slack when I’m home in perth, and I’m amazed how easy it’s been to lose weight! I’ve lost 6kg since the start of the year (though 3kg was in the first couple of weeks), and now my work pants aren’t tight anymore, my t-shirts fit better, I feel better, it’s awesome! When I feel tired and unmotivated, I think of how good it will feel to see weight loss on the scales at the end of the week and that gets me going. It’s not easy though.

    You’re getting the eye laser surgery? I’ve been seriously considering doing that, it would be so convenient not to have to wear glasses, although I quite like my glasses.

    I hate anxiety.
