Good News...Bad News........

Good news…

I weighed myself this morning….and the scale said 269.2!!!!! If that's accurate, that would mean I've lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks!!!!! Meaning my total weight loss since surgery is 18 pounds. And total weight loss since January is 28 pounds!!!!! How Awesome!!!! Isn't God Great!!!!! I've noticed that my clothes are really starting to fit well!! In fact, I've received several compliments from co-workers. I never really noticed how good dressing up can make you feel. With the exception of today, I've been wearing heels everyday this week!!! In fact, on Tuesday, I wore a suit, making people think I was going to an interview!!! I'm so excited for the spring and summer. I've always like wearing bright colors, and sandals, but the prospect of being able to wear clothes in a small size, just makes me giddy!!!

Bad News…

I started my period this morning, I want to crawl into a ball. I feel nausea, so I'm afraid to eat anything. I didn't want to come in to work today, but I knew that two key people were out of the office today..and we can't have the office three people down…

Talk about sacrifice!!! Does this mean, I'm being mature???

I don't know what's going on. I've never had bad cramps before, just a uncomfortable couple of days.. But this mess today, this is for the birds. My whole body just aches, I keep unbuttoning my jeans in hope of some relief. Oh, God...Please provide comfort. I want to make it through the rest of the day..

Also, since January I've been wearing my hair in braids. It's much easier to manage, I can exercise without fear of what my hair will look like later. It's a great joy just getting up in the morning, and not having to touch my hair. Saturday, I went and had my braids redone. After 6 hours of sitting in a chair, my hair was beautifully redone.

Well, last night, I'm sitting on my bed running my fingers through my hair, getting ready to oil my scalp, when I notice how loose several of the braids are in the back, and that several of the braids were missing. I will not tell you how much it costs to put these braids in my hair, but I will tell you that I was HOT. When I called the Braid place this morning, the lady gave me attitude, like I did something wrong to her.. SHE acted funny when I said I would be coming in today to get the back of my head re-done. She just keep saying you got it done Saturday…Yeah, lady, I said Saturday...

So pray for me that I don't lose my mind on sister-girl, when I go to get my hair done this evening. I don't need any problems.
