Ten Things Thursday

I haven't done this in a while, so here goes...

1.  Tomorrow is my last day of C25K and I'm so glad it will be over.  I am tired of driving an hour and a half round trip to run three times a week, but I will definitely miss my group!  We are having a second group in a few weeks, so I'm sure I will stop in from time to time.

Lorie, Mia, Janet, Marti, me, Victoria, Kira, Jill, and George

2.  Better than yesterday:


3.  Work is really stressing me out.  The have officially let me know they will not be pursuing a promotion for me until the 2014 cycle, so it's time for me to hit the ground running with applying for other opportunities.  I have loved my company for 3 years, they're one of the top ten places to work in my city, but I feel that they are taking advantage of me.

4.  Mr. Banker really has good potential.  He is funny and doesn't have tons of extra baggage, my friends like him.  I haven't seen him in about a week though.  We are both really busy people, and I'm a planner, he's not.  It makes it difficult to see each other because my schedule fills up.  Hopefully he'll figure it out if he wants to see me....

5.  I'm hungry, I don't feel like my band is tight, but Tuesday I PB'd fish sticks and this morning I PB'd half an egg with Salsa.  I'm not sure about the fish sticks, but I think the salsa caused this morning's problem.  All those tomato skins in the salsa are probably pretty similar to grapes, cherries, apple skins, etc. that I can't eat.  UGH.

6. I obviously need a new color for my toes...orange isn't it.  Just noticed while writing this....

7.  My parents are so awesome.  Last week they came to town to landscape my yard.  It looks lovely!  They spent 8 hours digging out all of the old bushes and planting new flowers/baby bushes.




8.  Have I ever mentioned how awesome my friends are?  Honestly I think I have been TRULY blessed in this department, and I can't tell you all enough how great they are.

9.  In case anyone was wondering, I caved and sent the picture of my fabulous new self to my ex.  He didn't answer, and that's for the best.  Coincidentally, if you search his name now, my post comes up.  (SCORE!)

10.  I'm really missing my sisters.  I'm contemplating a quick weekend trip to California as soon as I get my finances in order.  I've been looking at tickets online every day.

    When searching for airline tickets, clear your browsing history beforehand. The cookies make it able to see you are searching for flights and sometimes sites like Orbitz raise prices since they know you need a flight. (read this on a travel site so i'm not sure if its true but worth a shot)

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
