Tue. October 8

Time for a SUUUUUPER overdue update.

Where to begin? Well, I healed/am still healing from my eye surgery, but I'm on schedule with it. Vision is still pretty blah, but that's to be expected for a few months. I have an appointment tomorrow (4 weeks post-op) and I expect that to go well. And hopefully they'll tell me when I can think about getting my other eye done.

Next, my family vacation to Florida has been "postponed". And by that I mean, it's pretty much cancelled and we'll try again next year around this time. My dad crunched the numbers and between family things and paying for things for my nephew, it's just not in the cards right now. I'll admit, I'm kinda bummed. Even though I just had 2 weeks off from work, I was already looking forward to not having to be there for another few weeks. But I wasn't as excited as I usually am before a trip like this. And the surgery left me with a pretty decent amount of debt that I want to pay off ASAP. On top of that, I'm too fat to be going away right now.

I guess that'll bring me to my next update. I don't know that exact dates, but I pretty much didn't go to the gym for like a month (minus one little trip in the middle). I put on about 8-ish lbs in that time, so now I get to re-add that number to amount I still need to lose. And that little gain has put me back over one of the numbers I told myself I'd never see on the scale again (unless I was pregnant). I finally did get back to the gym last week. I went 4 times and I have plans to go another 4 times this week (already went once). But, of course, all the running and squatting in the world is not gonna make up for the fact that I still eat like crap.How many times do I tell myself I'll get a soup or salad when I go out, and then that pulled pork sandwich looks so good or I just really have a craving for pizza? I just... I don't even have a good excuse. Ya, I'll just leave this alone for now for fear of whining or turning this post into a novel.

So, anyway, that's it for now. Time to get working on my Halloween costume and pray for minimal back fat.
