spring cleaning

Doing mental check and looking for excuse to procrastinate:-)

Well, I think I have 3 days left at my old job! and I need to complete so many things, omg…

Then I’ll take a week of vacations, and I’m contemplating going to Myrtl.e Beac*h, with a quick hike to Ashvill*e and Bilt.more – found pretty good trip advice. Since I luv gardening but don’t have a garden, I plant my favorite gladiouluses (sp?) at my friends’ backyards. And most of the bulbs I get are from Biltmore collections – check it out…

Got a hint at one of blogs and came across a nice place on vacation rentals for $40/day. Rip-off of course but still better than motel.
Then I have a follow-up mam.mogram on 5/5 (keep my fingers crossed that it’s fine) – and that would end gazillion of tests.
On 5/6 I’m supposed to start a new job. I’m glad to be busy but Dear God, please don’t make me that overwhelmed and stressed out as I was here – I just can’t take it anymore…
Then I have another part of C.PA on 5/10. and I need to squeeze the 3rd one before the end of May. After I had passed the hardest Finan.cial Account.ing in the midst of busyseason, I have a newly discovered self-confidence.
Then I should find a time – AND MAKE IT WORK to go overseas (or to Canada) to see my family.

Which brings me to the dreadful point that I need to slim down. And that’s why I started this post today. I need to have a food diary, I need to keep exercising and maintain at least some regime. In other words need to do what Holly is doing.

As of today, I’m down 6 lbs from last week. Sounds fantastic but I kind of have cheated – I simply had perio.d last week, which always makes me pretty bloated.
So, let’s use a different base. I’m down 4 lbs from the pre-IVF last August. and my current goal is 9 lbs by 5/10, which is 17 days, or approximately 1/2 lb/day. I think it’s doable expecially given that it’s the easiest to loose weight in the beginning. I noticed that have several resistance points – points which I reach easy, but bounce back. So, next one is 2 lbs down. Off I go, wish me luck.
