Hi everybody ...
Today was one of the most stressful days I have endured in a longgggg time. I got to work and started my day , knowing that the dept of health was inspecting us. And at 8 am my biggest fear came true , as one of the surveyors was standing at my medication cart informing me that I was " the chosen one". Its kind of a crap shoot as to which nurse they choose. Aren't I lucky ? My boss told me yesterday that I had a 50/50 chance of being chosen, she also told me that she had faith in me and that I am great at my job and she wasn't worried at all. So as I found out I was chosen today I had a half hour to prepare. My boss told me to go take a quick break and get my head clear. When the time came , I think I even amazed myself. She must have been able to see that I care about my patients wholeheartedly ( I truly do ) . So as I was being quized over medications and diagnoses , I never faltered. About 15 minutes into her time with me the surveyor said " You really know these people , do you love your job?" I told her that I do love my job, I admitted that the last place I ever imagined working as a nurse was on a dementia unit. But that was where I was needed and fell in love with it. As we went on I told her little tidbits about my patients as we went along, telling her about the ones who aren't even able to speak , yet I still know them. After some time she looked at me and smiled and said " Alright , we are done here , you did great ". Alittle whole later my boss came and said " congratulations , you did it. " I looked at her and said how do you know so soon that I didnt mess up. And she laughed and said " Oh I know because if you had first she would have told you to your face and questioned your actions. And then she would have come straight to me. She didnt come to me after she was done with you , she moved on. " I am very proud of myself today , it feels good to know that I am good at a job that I love with all my heart.
The old food binging me would have used this as a reason to celebrate, to eat , to lose sight of my goal. The new me handled this in stride and ate well today. The new me , didnt even think about food. I did however stop and buy myself a bottle of wine. And after the kids get settled into bed tonight, I intend to have one nice relaxing glass. Just one, I rarely drink but this feels like a worthy occasion.

Ahhhhh what a day ... Bright and early this morning at work the State dept of health arrived for our yearly inspection which will last the remainder of the week. OHHHHHHHHHH the stress, everyone is on pins and needles. And let me add I have not gone through an inspection since becoming a nurse. I was lucky last year and I was off that week . So tomorrow will be stressful beyond belief because they will be side by side on the unit with us ALL DAY . I am so insanely nervous. The plus side is that I was telling my boss how nervous I was today and she told me to calm down and relax because I am great at my job and she has faith in me : ) that felt great. So please say a little prayer for me friends , that I make it through the scrutiny tomorrow and don't make any silly little mistakes. On the bright side I am off weds and thurs : )

I was sitting here and realized I had never changed out of my workout clothes. I just bought these in january and they were reallllllllly tight. I never measured myself when I started this in january but I did measure a few weeks ago ( feb 10 ) . So anyway the reason I noticed I hadnt changed was that they were comfortable and not so tight around my waist. Soooooooooo I measured again. I lost 2 inches off my waist ... 1 inch off each thigh ... and 1 inch off each upper arm. I am so overjoyed right now . That is 6 inches total. It totally amazes me the difference in 20 pounds which didnt seem like so much but really it is. I cant wait to see the changes with the next 20 pounds and the 20 after that , etc ... I knew my clothes were fitting differently but seeing the numbers really really excited me. All this work is working ... I feel so much better everyday and now my body is changing. There's no stopping me now : )

Yummmm I just had the best dinner I have had in a while . I made a beef roast ... And since I eat chicken nearly every day it was such a treat. I had some carrots, celery and onions that were cooked with it. Instead of making the usual potatoes I made roasted broccoli ... And really I didnt miss the potatoes at all.
I did my workout today which was great. Intend to get up and do it again in the morning. Its starting to feel really good to get the whole way thru to the end ... And I am working out so much harder than I used to be able to.
And my Saturday night is gonna consist of curling up on the couch with the kids and reading a good book that I started last night. My boyfriend is away this weekend so its just me and the kids. At first I had the urge to go have a girls night with some friends last night. But I didnt. And I am glad. I cant remember the last time I had a weekend that consisted of having to do NOTHING. Actually feels great, laying around in my yoga pants and a tshirt , hair not fixed , no makeup. No need to look at a clock , no where to be : ) I usually work at least one shift every weekend so being off fri sat and sunday feels awesome.
The kids wanted some snack food for their movie night so I got them some chips and got myself some BBQ almonds. Time to go relax some more : )
