What a fun day!

I went to a bead retreat party, and had a good time. There were healthy things there, so that was pretty awesome.

I’ve realized some things, and I wanted to give a real update to some of the things I’ve blogged about in the past, just a follow up.

The formal weight loss program is not going to work out, mainly for monetary reasons. I didn’t get approved for the Care Credit loan. They wanted me to get someone to cosign, but also the amount of money was going to be $3550 for one year. (More than I paid for both of my cars, combined!) It was an all or nothing proposition. You couldn’t just take the components you would want and pay for those. For instance, I would like the therapist aspect of it, the exercise physiologist, and to get medical testing to see if my levels were going down where they needed to. That’s it. Since I have PKD, I have already seen a renal dietician. The gym membership that was included with the package was in a different town, 30 minutes away. Now I ask you, if my own gym is 10 minutes away & I never go, how often do you think I will go to one that is half an hour away? Dumb.

I mean, like I said, some of the aspects were intriguing, but really? Not for me. I have lost weight on my own before & I can do it again. I know I can. This is the year.

I am still working 12 hour days, until further notice. That is all we are allowed, or I would work more. It’s good because I’m getting to pay off or at least pay on some medical things.

So that’s where I’m at with those things. The epiphany I had the other night wile driving home was the fact that I treat myself with food. Shocking, I know. Other people treat themselves with books, CD’s, etc. My first thoughts are of food. Always. I’m not dating right now, and it’s so cold, I don’t want to go anywhere or do anything. So, food has been coming first. No more. Today was nice, so I took a half hour walk outside in the sunshine. It was not much, but it’s better than nothing. And once the weather gets better, we will see about getting a walk in every morning. It’s something I would love to do. :)

Not much else, I hope everyone else had a great weekend. Time to go make some healthy things to take to work for lunch.. I think I’m doing chicken breasts with salsa in the slow cooker? I have brown & wild rice to go with that in the freezer.

    I think it’s a good step that you were able to identify that you treat yourself with food.

    So what else could you treat yourself with? A manicure (even if you do it yourself)? Bubble bath? Half an hour with a good book? I suspect a list of treats for you would help…
