Week I'm Not Sure

It's been almost 2 months since I started the Biggest Loser. I've lost a total of 13.6 pounds which is awesome. I'll probably lose my goal of 30 pounds by mid-April if I keep this up. One of my nurses has even told me I can come look through her old clothes and she has a swimming suit that would fit me. Which is cool because the one I have is almost 5 years old and I need a new one. Once I'm not so sick I'll start exercising. Maybe walking or something small to start. I did get my Wii though! Awesome! I played for 30 minutes by myself one day and kicked my ass. I started off slow with bowling, then tennis, and ended with boxing. Boxing is a workout! I was sweating by the time I was done. It was fun though. Now I need to keep doing it so the pounds will just come off. I couldn't tell I was losing weight until Thursday morning when I went into my mom and dad's room and saw myself in their bathroom mirror. I had on a nightgown that about 2 months ago was pretty tight on me. And then Thursday, it was just hanging on me! Again, AWESOME!

Today I have on a surgical mask so I don't pollute the air of those around me. It's not on right, because if it was, my glasses get foggy, but at least I can breathe with my mouth open and not spread too many germs...or get any more hospital contagions than I already have or will get while working here. And yes, here's a lovely picture of me in what our student nurse Crystal calls my SARS mask:

It definitely doesn't look cute and neither do I...especially with the greasy looking hair and droopy eyes. Feel free to make fun of me all you want. :D

And I got an iPhone. I didn't deliberate much on that one. It's super awesome! Apparently "awesome" is my word of the day.

I've Said it Before...

...and I'll say it again. I hate being sick. I would much rather be home in bed, puking my guts out and get it done and over with in one or two days than to have to deal with being achy, headachy, sore throaty, snot nosey, and non-breathy for who knows how many weeks. I'd take the puke any, and I mean ANY day of the week, month, or year.

Start of Week 5

I was bummed last week because I didn't lose any weight. This week I got on the scale and thought, "Just two pounds. I'll be happy with two pounds." And yes, I had lost 2 more pounds! That makes it a total of 8.5 pounds in a month. Not too shabby.
I've already decided with my tax money I'm going to get a Wii (hopefully I'll get one) so I can start having some activity at home...and it's something Ethan and I can do together. I'm thinking about getting the Wii Fit too so i don't have to pay for a gym membership and I don't have to go out in the cold. We'll see how that goes. But I'm excited for it.
And a new cell phone. Mine's all busted on the front screen. I'm debating between the LG Incite and an iPhone. The LG is pretty much like an iPhone without all the super cool aps and $50 cheaper...we'll see what I decide when I go in and get one. I'm really leaning toward an iPhone though just so I can be cool. :)

The Super Bowl is also today and I'll be at work for most of it. I HATE working weekends during football season. If I could afford to I definitely would not work on Sunday's. But at least I have a job and that's all I can ask. Oh yeah, back to the Super Bowl. I'll miss most of the awesome commercials because the good ones happen during the first half and I'll get home when it's almost over. At least I'll be able to watch some of it.

GO STEELERS!
