I've been feeling somewhat "stuck" at 101 pounds for at least a week. I know I should be happy with that (and, believe me, I AM!)..but it just sort of scared me that it wasn't going down any more. Everyone I know who had the surgery said that this day would come where it just stopped, but I guess I thought it would be farther out than 3 months post-op. But, tonight when I came home from church I weighed myself again and I'm now down 106 pounds! Yeah! Now I keep reminding myself of how much MORE I can do when I start to exercise!! (Well, to be honest I have been doing some arm exercises with my 3 lb weights because I have some serious jiggle going on with the upper arms!). So that is my next goal - exercise!
Today I went to Courage Center to see Brad (went with Trish and Grace). He looks great. He walks some and said he's been in the pool for therapy and does the stairs with just a cane. That's all great. He is supposed to go home on Friday - being released and then going to spend some additional recovery time in St Cloud at his folks house. I'm so happy for him and so glad to see him recovering! He's been in one hospital or another since mid-January! You go BRAD!!
Did a little shopping for clothes at Catherine's today. Bought a new bra (yeah, they are gone now too) and a cute summer sweater. Put a jacket on hold at another store so I am going to try that tomorrow. I need something to wear to the interview for the ONE job opportunity that I have at Target. Please pray for me. Not sure when the interview will be, but I know I need all the prayers I can get. If this one doesn't work out, I will continue to look inside, but not looking outside until after the 1st of next year (when my severance comes through). Might take some time off to just 'chill' since I have worked pretty much non-stop since I was 17 (with time off for having my baby, breaking my knee cap and having my bypass surgery -- oh and the occassional day or two and maybe a week here and there). I think I deserve at least some time off to decide what to do next (if that day comes).
Going to watch a movie tonight so I can strategically return it to Netflix in just the right time so that Slumdog Millionaire will be sent to me upon it's release on Tuesday! I've heard it's pretty good (ha! After winning almost every award at the Oscars!!).
Hope everyone reading this is having a good weekend. I hope SOMEONE is reading this!! :o)
