Slow going

It's been several weeks, and I am a bit disappointed with the slow going. Slowly over time, I've migrated to solid food. And have increased the volume of food. I'm sticking to high protein food and fruits and vegetables. No rice, no pasta, no starchy foods except for the occasional sandwich with whole wheat bread and Kashi cereal. And yet, I am stuck at the same weight. I realize I lost the initial 14 lbs because I was on a liquid protein diet for about 2 weeks. Now I am eating lots of salads and healthy stuff, but no weight loss.

I have an appt in about 3 weeks to fill the lap band for the first time. Hopefully this will bring on another dip in weight. I have to be honest, my exercise level has been very low. I was hoping to lose more weight so it would be easier to exercise.

In the mean time, N and A have come back from their vacation and I feel like a whole person again. I'm having problems posting photos and I think it's because I have Vista.

Meanwhile the thesis has acquired a nasty attitude, wanting attention. I'm so stressed about it I'm having nightmares about not finishing it.

Hang in there.

I'm slow going on my dissertation. I want it to be DONE NOW. Actually, yesterday would have been good.

But I'm having to be patient with myself. This is not something that is fast. Slow is better, I think, with the things that count. No?

Well, I have to finish it by June or I don't graduate. How's that for some pressure!!! In this case, half-assed would be acceptable as long as I am done with it. So much for academic excellence! : )

Damaris:

Las tesis y las dietas no mezclan.
Yo se que la vas a terminar a tiempo porque tienes el nivel de estrés autoimpuesto alto y funcionando. Tú eres una chica brillante y lo vas a lograr.
