Trying to stay disciplined! (By Jess)

Good evening everyone, Things here are swell. I was having some uterine issues, but they seem to be sorting out now day by day. All is well I believe. Pending an ultrasound, but did have a mini MD physical and blood work done.

Otherwise, working this weekend days and have a new grad nurse shadowing me for over a month. She is sweet and quite competent....though our floor usually presents many new and different challenges for new nurses (such as leeching which had to be done today!!). I love teaching though and it keeps me on my toes.

The diet thing: Ya, well, I suck! I am so disappointed, but know that it is self defeating if I get too down on myself. Rather just to pick up again, remotivate, retrain and relearn all the reasons why it is so crucial to maintain a healthy weight. Curses to patients and their families for buying box after box after box of delicious chocolates for me to dive into in the midst of a hunger crisis' throughout the day! haha Well, I know I cant blame them as they are showing their appreciation, but honestly, how nice, healthy and refreshing would a lovely fruit platter be? HEHE Though totally difficult for them to get. Meh, I guess it is not going to happen like that and I just need to be disciplined! Right. Disciplined. I have not weighed myself in some time. Trying to eat well though as much as possible. I did buy yoga and pilates DVDs which I have been using and really love it. Good for inner peace at the very least!

So, just wanted to throw a note out there so you all knew I was still in the game (in so many words).

Hope you are all super!

Love and hugs, Jess

Ps: The top picture is from Lorna's cottage! Wicked shot huh? Taken with Matt's new cam by me! So proud how the picture turned out, and so happy we decided to wait outside to get those cool pics before the wild winds built up and it hailed on us! :P
