Oh, Life...

So, if we're friends on Facebook, you know that I broke my ankle Friday morning on my way home from work and then had surgery on Saturday to repair the bones. When something like that this happens to you, you find out, pretty quickly, when people say, "Oh, let me know if you need anything!" and then actually mean it. And then you find out, again, pretty quickly, that even one of your oldest friends, even if you haven't spoke to each other in almost a year, they just don't give a crap. No Facebook postings, no short emails, no text messages.

ugh...this post can quickly turn into a very angry one, but I'm not going to let it.

I'm just grateful for the people in my life who when they say, "Can I do anything for you?" and actually mean it. There are very few people in my life who I can group together in that column. They give me have hope in humanity even when I'm ready to give up.

I guess you're talking about me. I'm really sorry to hear about your ankle. That sounds awful and incredibly painful. You haven't shown up on my FB thread in I don't even know how long. I didn't know this happened until I just read your blog. I hope you're healing well. Happy thoughts being sent your way.

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Slowly but surely

The weight loss has slowed just a little. I've only lost roughly 3 pounds this week. But I am determined to lose at least 80 pounds by my birthday. It's a tall order that's for sure. I have about 34 days to do it. I have to lose 2.4 pounds a day to surpass my goal by a little over than a pound. I suppose I'll have to be more diligent on my diet and exercising. I won't be disappointed if I come close though. The whole point of me going on any sort of exercise/diet plan is to get healthy and to get ready for Hawaii. I refuse to fly on a plane at my current weight. Mostly because I don't want to be embarrassed if I have to get a seat belt extender. I don't want to. I refuse to be one of those people that have to get special accommodations because of my weight just to fly. I think that I've come a long way from how I ate and exercised before. I pretty much look forward to my walks every day and I don't crave soda anymore. I actually had about 4 ounces of

Hooray for Holi!

My friend Kim and I will be going to celebrate Holi with our fellow Hindus today. I'm not sure if half the people going today actually know what Holi is except for the fact that it is fun. Go to this link and learn about Holi! *Pictures will be forthcoming!* **ETA: So, there was a HUGE accident on the freeway on the way to Spanish Fork yesterday and being the impatient driver that I am, decided to go around the accident. We went through Springville and Mapleton to avoid the accident. Well, not knowing what exit we were at, we weren't sure where we were and completely missed the festival. I was a little bummed. Well, a lot bummed. Kim and I went up the Spanish Fork Canyon instead to a town that was flooded years ago. Hopefully Kim won't hate me forever for missing the festival...
