Back to focus

Sorry for all the melodramatic blog posts.

This whole weight loss crusade I'm on, has been really strange to say the least. I'm trimming the fat so to speak on my entire life. Body, soul, emotionally and mentally. It makes the most sense really. Why not strive to grow for the better? Might as well do it all at once, that way you'll save yourself some time.

Working night shift has been pretty good actually. I don't mind working nights, I actually rather like them. For the most part I'm by myself, so I have more control over how I do my cases. You can't get in a whole lot of trouble if no one else is really around, and it is in general more relaxed. I had a tough time getting my head wrapped around this whole thing. When you're working night shift, it is so hard not to go into garbage mode and eat everything in sight. It's like you're totally eating out of nothing but boredom! 

I went out and stocked up on plenty of fruits and veggies to hold me over. When I get up in the afternoon, I just poke around the house. Munching on a protein bar usually helps before I go into work, but other than that I can't really say the night shift is great nutritional conditioning. It's hard to figure out what meal to eat. You're not really eating dinner but it feels like it. I usually stop eating after 7pm, so it's been crazy hard for me to get myself around it.

After I left work this morning, I hopped on the scale only to find I had dropped three pounds. I'm not surprised really, if I'm just eating ruffage you know lol. It made me feel better any how, because I know I'm doing the right thing by monitoring what I eat at night. Tonight is my last night shift before I'm off again. I requested some vacation days, and I plan on spending some time with friends tomorrow. After that it's back to NYC for me again. Han is flying in from LA and I'm super excited to see her and visit! It'll be fun for sure.

I've decided to pony up and just drive into the city. I'm for sure not going to deal with dragging my rolley bag all over the city, up and down the subway. I almost think paying for parking and driving in myself, is a WHOLE lot better than dry heaving for three hours on the journey there. Besides, I won't have to worry about anyone's "Mexican salsa" music this time and the mean drivers yelling! LOL
