LOL I think this is funny.

I was sitting on my floor the other night stretching and i saw a bump around the ankle area. I was like wow, what did i do to myself? ROFL IT'S MY ANKLE BONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I thought i hurt myself and it's really my ankle bone starting to show. IT'S TRUE, I HAVE AN ANKLE!!! Who know i had those under all of this. rofl I haven't seen my ankle bone, well i can't remember the last time i saw my ankle bone. lol wooooohooooo! go me!!

Moving on....

Still working alot and saving money. Still shopping around for a mp3 player and still trying to rest when i can.

I don't really have anything else to post about right now. I had to tell my ankle bone story. 

*hugs* 

I had to return my new mp3 player because i couldn't get it to download. It was missing a portion of the programming. I took it to my dad and he couldn't get it to download any songs either. So i returned it and will hopefully get my money back without a hassle since i ordered it online. I still haven't decided if i'm going to get one just like it or maybe shop around some more.

So in the mean time i've been incorporating more exercise into my daily routine. I've been taking the stairs when possible, parking at the end of the parking lot and walking extra and jogging from my car to the front of my building when i don't have my hands full. It's not that far of a distance, maybe 30-40 feet? but i figure any amount of exercise is better than none. :)

Do you ever just wish you could make people listen to you when you are trying to give them advice? One of my friends just will not listen to me. She is talking about having weight loss surgery. She has to weigh over 300 pounds.

Now my personal opinion is that i don't agree with those kind of surgeries. One reason is because of the complications of the surgery. Another reason is because i'm a member of some weight loss boards and there are people who weigh over 400 pounds and are losing weight by paying attention to what they eat and are exercising, which is fantastic. I find it very inspiring to read their stories and see their progress pictures.

The main reason I do not agree with this surgery is because some people think it is a quick fix. It will fix everything. She hasn't tried to do any of the other programs that are out there. In fact when i tried to suggest that i help her she tells me that she just doesn't have any willpower and that surgery will fix it all.

I'm sorry but no surgery is going to fix it all. You have to have willpower no matter what you do. Just because you have some surgery doesn't mean that it is going to fix your willpower. You have to be willing to work hard for what you want.

Now in some circumstances yes surgery is a good thing and can help. I'm not saying all of them are bad. I just think that if you automatically have the mindset that having surgery is going to cure your willpower then you are just setting yourself up. Her husband had the same surgery a few years ago and he has gained over half of his weight back. You know why, because he never changed his eating habits. The surgery was going to fix his willpower and guess what it didn't.

I know i just went off there for a little bit but i'm just frustrated. I just wish i could make her listen to me but she already has her mind made up. I've tried talking to her until i'm blue in the face and she is still going to have the surgery if she can get her insurance to pay. Who knows she might prove me wrong and i hope for her sake she does prove me wrong.

Thanks for letting me vent. I had to vent to someone.

*hugs*

Wooohoooo! I'm all better now! It took me 2&1/2 weeks to get over whatever i had. I feel like a normal person now. lol

Let's see...

The school thing- I'm not sure what i'm doing yet. My main problem is financing. So still trying to figure something out.

I'm still working at least 70 hours but it's ok because i need as much money as i can get, since i may have to pay for my pre-pharmacy classes myself.

I'm back to regular food, no more sprite and crackers for me. lol wooohoooo! I'm back to following weight watchers and getting all of my points in and drinking my water.

I just got a mp3 player so i can start walking now on my lunch breaks. The best part is it was free because i used a gift card to buy it. wooooooooooooohoooooooooo oooo! I'm so excited! I've been wanting to walk for awhile now but i get bored so easily without something to listen to, not to mention the fact that's it's been too cold for me to walk. I'm a wimp because i need warm weather to walk in. lol

I can't think of anything else right now. I just wanted to post a little update since i'm feeling so much better.

*hugs*
