Splendid Saturday 1/26/13

Hey ya'll! I missed Fabulous Friday. I apologize for that. We've been painting this weekend and yesterday afternoon I had my psyc evaluation! So I'm going to talk a little about that and fill you in this week's progress and next weeks goals.

Psychological Evaluation:
My counselor was very polite. He seemed a little odd to me, because he was so stiff and soft spoken. I don't know, he looked almost... pained? None of that mattered because the conversation came easily. There was no testing or anything like that, just talking. He started with getting a light background on me, asking about family- who was living, who'd passed on, relationships with my family, history of depression, drug addictions and so on. He asked me quite a few times about my history of drug use and depression (I suppose that makes sense!) and if I am using drugs now. NO SIR!

After the background we really began talking about the surgery and he asked me why I did I "think" I need surgery. I hate that question. Nevertheless, I breezed on through it. He asked how I was so sure I couldn't do it without the surgery. Some of his questions kind of caught me off guard and some of them I really saw coming. He told me it wasn't his job to give me a thumbs up or down, (not that I asked) but to write a report outlining his conclusions. He did tell me he thinks I'm "well adjusted" and he wishes me the best of luck. I suppose we'll see. I am a little nervous about it, but I feel okay about it too? I'm nervous about everything regarding the surgery at this point. I guess I'll know something soon.

This week's progress:
...was eeh. Okay, I suppose. I've been going a lot this week. So there were days I didn't get all my calories in, and one day- Thursday- I cheated! I had a hot dog. A pack of nabs. A diet coke. I am still kicking myself for it. I know it wasn't that bad, but I'd really intended on sticking to the pre op diet. I couple of days this week I didn't get both shakes in. I didn't do a lot of walking this week either. I haven't gotten all my water in everyday. Writing all this is making me see just how track I really was this week. That ends today. I'm having a shake and pear as I type.

Tuesday was wonderful seeing a six pound loss on the scale. Nice. Amazing. I'm not sure what to expect when I step on Monday morning. I'll be right here with the results, though, so make sure you come back to see!

Next week's goals:
1.  STAY ON THE PRE OP DIET, KATHY!!!
2.  Drink, drink, and drink more water! 62 oz. daily.
3.  Walk, walk, and walk some more! 5K steps a day OR MORE!
4.  Log my food in myfitnesspal.com every day.
5.  Spend less time on my butt.
6.  Do something nice for someone else.

The goals are perfectly attainable! I can do this!!
Monday night is my information class. I'm really excited about that. I'll post about it so I can keep you all filled in!
