Ok… life is definitely crazy and in HIGH GEAR. My first day of OBGYN was quite hectic, and today was even worse. Yesterday (Mon), I got to spend much of my day working in the infertility clinic, which was really neat. It involved mostly counseling women who were trying to get pregnant but unable to about their options and checking all sorts of levels to see what was causing their problem. I really enjoyed it Today, however, was a different story! I was in the OR (operating room = think Grey’s Anatomy) from 5am until 7pm…. YUCK O… doing gynecologic oncology (cancer in ovaries, uterus, etc.) It’s messy, and quite sad for the patients, and a very difficult schedule! I absolutely did NOT get to eat today (good? bad?)… I had a bar for breakfast and a half of sandwich some some salad at “lunch.” I just go thome (7:30pm) so I’m going to eat before doing some more work, going to bed, and waking up for a repeat at 4am!

Today’s a study day for me! I woke up hungry since I didn’t eat dinner last night 2/2 (secondary to) feeling nauseated from all that PF Changs! It’s raining and I’m cooped up inside studying for a test tomorrow, so my food choices haven’t been the best, but I haven’t been snacking, and I’m stuffed! So that’s a plus! If it stops raining, I hope to get a walk in again tonight. We went last night, too I’ll also be posting some longer posts/updates tomorrow and over the weekend. I’m just frazzled right now

PS: Scale read 170.4 today… is that a 0.6 lb weight loss? Or is that the fact that I didn’t have dinner? I hope it’s a loss!!!!

B: Bagel with cream cheese, 10
B: Coffee with 2% milk, 0.5

I’m having a great day today… for one, it’s sunny and warm when it was supposed to be cloudy and cold! And for another… I am DONE with my rotation in Family Medicine which means I am DONE with driving 1.5 hrs to work and 1.5 hrs home from work every day!!! Yes! On the down side, we had PF Chang’s for lunch, and while I didn’t get “much,” what I ate had WAY too many points! Yikes! Oh well… I hope to get in a walk tonight before Bible Study to counter some of it!

Good morning! I have an even earlier start this morning, so I’m going to be quick. Last night, I didn’t eat a Smart Ones meal, but instead I had a Lean Pocket for 4.5 points, 94% FF popcorn for 1 point, and an apple for 1 point. So, I think I was over by a point on my 27 point day, but it should pan out in the end… I’m planning on not having 37 points tomorrow, but more like 30. I think Wendi overall is working for me; I may need to switch my daily points totals, but I’ll decide that in a few weeks. Okay, here’s the plan!

I think that’s a loss of 1.2 for this week on Wendi, but I’ll have to double check.

Today starts week 2 of Wendi, and though I’m super sad my husband is out of town, him being gone means COMPLETE control of every morsel that goes into my mouth. So I’m going to be GREAT this week, folks! I hope I can wow him with a number in the 160s on Sunday night
