appointments, drs and the date!

So its been a few days.... I have been out bush for work.... while it was relaxing it was also long... jam packed days that seemed to roll into eachother...

returned home on friday night and my mum arrived from mt isa... she was heading to Perth on sunday for my older brother's wedding.... I am heading this thursday and staying till monday...

I have been feeling really good. Eating well up until yesterday... kids had a student free day and asked to have mcdonalds... haven't had that crap for ages so agreed and really regretted the big mac for several hours after.... that stuff just doesn't process through your body very well...
I could tell anyway... I am learning to listen to my body now and I think lesson learnt is just not to go to the fast food chains wherever it can be avoided...

anyway this morning I got up and cooked a nice breakfast of eggs and baked beans... tasted delicious and I will be quite full till lunch time... gotta get ready for work...

In relation to the band.... Wow its really not far away... I can't believe that I have waited 12 months for this... Its like 3 weeks away :)

I have my specialist appointment on the 31st and also dietians appt... I start Opti that day and the op is on the 13 November. A friend reminded me last week that I will be on the liquid/mush phase over xmas... but I don't give a ratz azz... Its always too hot at xmas to enjoy a big feed anyway so I'm ok with not having my usual binge... hopefully we will be out and about swimming somewhere anyway...

Saw some really horrible pictures of myself taken last week while we were away posted on a friends facebook... I was temporarily considering asking her to remove them but they are group shots... I then thought no... that is a testimate to how I look NOW.... I am that big. But I won't be for much longer. So they can stay there. I will have something to look back at 12mths from now and feel good about :)

there is always a positive in everything, you just have to find it!

Good on you for learning to listen to your body! You could probably still take the kids there....just try and find the strenth to order the salad or something for yourself....not easy though!! Only three weeks?....woohoo....getting close now! I am not worried about Christmas eating either...I always eat so much I feel uncomfortably full and regret it after...and you are right...it is too hot for that sort of thing anyway!! You will do fine:)

3 weeks! Brilliant! Not long to go now. 12 months would have been hard. It's all happening now!
