Journal: Entry for StarEnight
I’ve been gone a long time so I think it’s time for an update. I got the promotion I’ve been really wanting at work a few months ago. My job is way more challenging. Sometimes that’s a good thing and sometimes it’s not. I cannot fix everything nor do I know everything just because I now having a higher salary grade. Sometimes, when the customers expect that of me, it can be exhausting.
In health news, I ended up having two surgeries and the recovery caused me to get off track with my work outs. I gained back some of the weight and I was feeling pretty crappy. A few weeks ago I started back at the gym and I was able to turn it all back around. The ironic thing is that I am planning another surgery. This one is actually one I’m choosing to have. I’ve been obese most of my life and I have seen what life long obesity has done to my mother. She’s had three knee replacements; she has high blood pressure, and Type 2 diabetes. I really don’t want that for my life. I want to be healthy. So right now I am going through the process required to have weight loss surgery. I’m looking at having a gastric sleeve. However, I don’t plan to rest on my laurels and let the surgery lose the weight for me. I’ve been losing weight on my own. I follow a healthy eating plan, I work out at the gym three to five days a week, and I have started doing toning exercises every morning. They’re a mixture of crunches, planks, stretches with a little yoga thrown in for good measure. I managed to lose three pounds last week.
My love life is on hold. I’m not sure how long. I just kind of got tired of the crazies and the stress. I’m tired of analyzing everything I do or say to figure out what I’m doing wrong. Right now I’m content to be me, by myself, and focus on other things that are important to me such as my career, family, and health. Maybe in a few weeks I’ll feel differently and try the online dating thing again. For now I’m relived not to be dealing with it.
So that's it for now. I shouldn't be absent so long then I won't need to write a novel.
