Weightloss, New job and medicine

Hello to anyone who reads me! This last week (since I posted last) I have lost 2.6 pounds as of Oct 23rd (I only weigh myself once a week). YAY! This is the first time in almost a month that I have lost. I am excited.

As most of you know, I got a new job and I started it on the 21st! So far I thoroughly enjoy it. I am a cashier...which I am good at. The first day of training they took me away from the others training and put me with the regular team members. That day they said "you did good today...no you did GREAT!" Than on Thursday I worked a longer shift and boy were we busy! My body hurt so bad from moving in a way I normally don't. Right to left all day turning at the waist. OUCH! I was teasing Chris that I will not have side love handles anymore after Christmas season. hahaha. That day the manager told me she wished ALL her employees talked with the guests like I do and smiled and were as eager to please as me. I told her not to tell the employees that because they will hate me and she laughed. LOL. I love my job 3 days in. I work a lil more this week. On my days off I am allowed to call in and tell them I am available to work if anyone calls out, and I will be doing that this week!

Last week I wrote about how I have been on medicine since July that made me gain weight. Well, I saw the doctor on Friday and he changed my medicine and told me NOTHING about the new one, but when mom searched the side effects weight loss is one....HMMMM maybe that will help! lol We shall see, but I have never heard of the medicine and am kinda nervous! Oh, and I am filing a grievance against my dr and his office because of how they have been treating me. I am done! I will not be treated badly by people close to me or not, and CERTAINLY not from my Dr's MA or himself!

Anywho...I will write again after weighing in Tuesday night again!

I hope you have all missed me...

Well...anyone who reads this anyways. I don't even remember the last time I wrote on here. I have had a few tough months. Most of you know I wasn't able to find a job, and I lost my unemployment 4 months earlier than I was supposed to because of Obama. Well, I found a job! I start on Sunday the 21st and am pretty excited about it.

My weight loss journey has come to a stop. When I saw my doctor in July he put me on medication that I was on before in my past. It helps a lot, but since I started the medication my weight has either fluctuated too much or just stopped! Well...it is now in the gaining portion. :( I am still doing my weight watchers and sticking to my daily points, but I have gained about 6 pounds since the first week of August. I thought it was just me, but two months of this is not me when I am not going over or under my points. I had hit a loss of 70 pounds and was so excited...now I am becoming discouraged.

Next week I am supposed to see my doctor (if I am not working) and I am going to ask him to put me on a different medication, one that may not increase weight gain. The last time I was on this medication I gained 50 pounds in about 4 months. :(

Anyways...I got free coupons to go to weight watchers for the next 10 weeks...so I will be blogging again!

This week

So last week was a nice week. I actually ate out more than usual with Chris and his grandma. I really haven't felt hungry lately though, I think it may be the heat. However, great news is I lost 3.4 pounds!!! WOOHOOO!!! I have lost 34.8 pounds since March 6th! WOOOHOOO! For a grand total so far of 65 pounds since August! :) I am pretty stoked right now! 65 pounds to go!

I am going on a road trip...to Florida! We are going to Destin, Florida to stay in a beach house! YAY!!! I just need to watch what I eat now to keep up the weight loss! Yesterday I found a place to actually apply in person compared to applying online. I went in and applied, but apparently everyone else was too. There were 7 other people sitting in there applying, whiles others came and went. :( I just hope I get an interview! So frustrating!

Anywho...I'm signing out.

Update

This past week I have been so stressed that I felt like I was eating EVERYTHING! I hate being a stress eater. I actually had a pretty good week with my weight. I was shocked. When I weighed in last night i had lost 4.2 pounds! I have NO idea how I did it, like I said, I felt like I ate everything. Maybe I ate so much it sped up my metabolism? lol I dunno. Anyways that brings me to 31.2 pounds that I have lost since March, for a grand total of 61.6 pounds since August 2011. I have now lost more in the last 3.5 months than I did in 6 months before starting! YAY! I have 69 pounds to go! I can do this. However, I now need to lose about 3 to 3.5 pounds a week now. Anyways, 61.6 pounds! That's the best news I have heard in a month! LOL

Week from Hell

Weight loss journey: This past week I have not been hungry. Although Chris and I had a nice dinner at Red Lobster on Friday night, I didn't eat too much other than all the freaking Cheddar Bay Biscuits. They are just so delicious! Than on Saturday we tried a new Mexican restaurant in Victorville and again, I didn't eat much besides the chips and salsa. lol I could eat chips and salsa forever! Anyways, when I weighed in today and I lost 2 pounds. I wish it was 20 pounds, but I am shocked I didn't gain due to me stressing out!

Wedding planning: Is officially on the back burner and turned off for now, it will still happen but as of now I will no longer have anymore money. :(

I received a letter from Unemployment stating that they have canceled my unemployment because Obama cut off the extra extensions. I heard about this two weeks ago and was heart broken about the 707,900 Californian's that lost their unemployment with no notice, well turns out I am one of them. My fourth extension was supposed to end in July, not June! I am in official freak out mode. :( I am no longer receiving ANY money at all. So if you are reading this and have something for me to do to earn money EMAIL me! I have applied to over 50 jobs SINCE I got that letter on Saturday. I have stopped all extra expenses such as my storage unit. Chris helped me clean it out Saturday so it was one less thing to worry about. All my bills for June are paid....except school and my CAR! I am so upset. :( So, as of right now I have half my car payment for June, and my wedding money....and it looks like I will have to use it. My mom is paying for our venue, but I am paying for everything else. I am heart broken about this. I have to come up with money somehow. I have all our vendor's deposits paid, which are all NON-Refundable by the way. Our Save-The-Dates are printed with the date. :( I have to find someway to get the money! I do not know why I can't find a job! I HATE THIS! The last 3 months I have continuously looked for work, because let's face it, my household makes me want to punch something. LOL. Plus, I truly MISS working! I hate that most places want you to apply online. NO, let me wow you with my personality and smile and show you I am worth the opportunity!

So, please, if anyone hears of ANY job opportunity please let me know!

Hmmm..

Today I weighed in, and I lost 2.2 pounds this last week. Definitely not the 2.6 pounds I need to lose each week to reach my goal, but better than the week before. I wish I could lose 3 pounds a week. I wish weight loss wasn't so slow. What sucks is that 2 guys I know, one being Chris, have lost tons of weight without trying very hard and I am jealous! Chris has lost almost 40 pounds in 5 months and my now 56.pounds has taken me 10 months! However, in the last 3.5 months I have lost 24.8 pounds. So in the last 3.5 months I have lost the most. I need to figure out how to make it come off faster. Hmmmmm.

Wedding planning....I have my save the dates, but still haven't addressed them to send them out yet. School is kicking my butt, Algebra (very time consuming) and speech. YUCK!

Not wedding planning or weight loss talk, but last week the president decided to cut off the last extension of Unemployment (which is 20 weeks extra) and I will be done with unemployment benefits by July 1st. I am frantically looking for a job now! No money means no car payment and no wedding :( I am freaking out especially since I have non-refundable deposits on all my vendors! AHHHHH Please say LOTS of prayers for me! I need them.

As Expected

Last week I gained 2.4 pounds, but after losing 8.4 lbs the week before I was sure I was going to gain some back. this week I lost 1. 4, so 1 lb to go to where I was two weeks ago. This last week has been weird. I haven't been hungry at all and I thought I would have lost more weight than I did. Whatever.

On a wedding note, we have a new photographer (long story). Our save the dates came last week and I love them. So there are only a couple more addresses I need and I will be sending them out. I wish I could invite everyone, but I can't. :( We are trying to have a "smaller" wedding. We will see what happens.

On a side note, apparently there is a thief who likes our house. A couple weeks ago someone stole A WHOLE bunch of Callie's money out of her money jar, and just this past week I had $40 TAKEN out of my wallet. Good thing they haven't found my "wedding fund" yet. I feel so uncomfortable here now. How do people have no morals nowadays? Also, in the last 4 days I have had next to no sleep (about 9 hours in total). I know I am overly tired and emotional but I am so done with everyone. :( I hate the way that people are bullied in our own house, and the fact that I now need to keep my door locked at all times I am not in it. :(
