TGIF. TGI Friday AND the last day before a week off! It's just a great day all around!

Don't get me wrong. I love my job. I usually even enjoy it. I just love to spend my time with my hubby and family and friends MORE!

So a few things I want to pontificate on today...

1) the whole not drinking while you eat thing. I want to know why this is? Some people say it's because you feel full faster if you drink water while you eat and that means you get less nutrition...

Oddly, this blog is helping me get through the six months. So if you get tired of my drivel, I understand - but this is entirely about getting through this and keeping my momentum, right now anyway.

Between this blog and reading everyone else's - I'm learning a lot and generally keeping my mind occupied on something other than my impatience.

Failure of medical management including evidence of active participation within the last two years in a weight-management program that is supervised either by a physician or a registered dietician for a minimum of six months without significant gaps.

This is frustrating to say the least. I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT. I...

Whoever would have thunk it - but having all the doctor's appts last month made the first month of my "unweightloss" program fly by. However...with all the doctor's appts now out of the way...now what can I look forward to?

Eeeks. Sooooooo slowwwwwww....
