Good morning fatsecret friends. I managed another loss this past week. Wasn't really expecting it with the large drop last week, plus stress and TOM. But hey, I'll never complain about a loss.
I'm trying to remember how this past week has went (lol). I know I got to the gym three times but I didn't get any kettlebell time in. My sister had an appointment with a neurologist last week and my mom took us to Red Lobster for lunch after. I did well keeping my calories within daily limits. That was Wednesday. After that I was busy preparing a presentation for class (which I presented Thursday and knocked out of the park) and getting my clinical prep work ready for the weekend. I was in clinical Saturday and Sunday. It went well. I've learned that I struggle a lot with taking my work home with me. I like to get home and worry about my patients. Wish I could check up on them. My patient was nearly in tears when my shift was over yesterday, the staff told me she was asking for me all night Saturday after I left.
I never feel like cooking on clinical weekends. I come home just exhausted. Saturday night my husband insisted we go to Texas Roadhouse which would have been fine had I not eaten three dinner rolls. We waited for like three hours, and I was exhausted and starved. The food was delicious though. Sunday night husband and kids wanted to order subs. I let them go ahead and do that and I just had some eggs and fresh fruit. A lower calorie day to balance out Saturday.
Rough weight loss weeks lie ahead, that's for sure. This week my kiddo's are on spring break so getting to the gym will be a little more difficult. My youngest is supposed to stay at his grandmas tonight so I'll pass on my workout this morning and go tomorrow instead while he's gone. Sunday is Easter which shouldn't pose much of a problem; it's home cooked food so all I have to worry about is portion control.... and avoiding that candy! The weekend after, april 2nd/3rd, is my last clinical weekend... ever. Saturday we are having a pizza party for the staff there and Saturday night my father in law is taking me out to dinner for my birthday (the fifth). Sunday is my last day and I've had plans since the beginning to go out for drinks with my clinical group. I supposed I should weigh in Sunday morning rather than the Monday after lol. Then the weekend after that my husband will be taking me out for my birthday.
So yeah, lots of opportunities to mess up lay ahead but I'm not too worried about it because I'm in control of those choices. Besides, how can you be upset when people want to celebrate you? I've had a lot of practice eating out and still losing weight, I know what to chose.
I have been with this clinical group for the last year, we deserve to go out and celebrate, I'm not giving that up. It's blowing my mind that I only have one more weekend. A big part of me is going to miss this so much when it's gone. I have grown so much, and a lot of the support that I had through this was from my group.
Anywho, one day at a time right. Today I need to get some grocery shopping done and go to work this evening. I have a test on Thursday to start preparing for.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
