A New Me
May 10, 2010
This morning my husband woke up late. He jumped out of bed to get into the shower to leave for a doctors appointment. When he jumped out of bed I woke up and looked at the clock, and then I jumped out of bed to make his lunch and such. Reg is a mailman and he needs to bring in a lot of water and he like me drinks protein shakes every morning. Well as he was leaving he said, "Thank you and Happy Birthday" oops... I almost forgot. When I went to sleep I knew it was my birthday tomorrow, but when I woke up I forgot. I am sure I would have remembered.I was cleaning up from making his lunch and the tornado that was him has he rushed to get ready and I started thinking... OUCH!
I am turning 34 today. There is so much that is going on that is great, there is so much going on that is not so great, and I guess starting another year of life makes you think about those things...
The Great Things:
- I have an amazing husband - he annoys the crap out of me sometimes, but I am sure I do the same for him
- I have a great family - we have our moments (quite often) but all in all we are still great
- I have great friends - near and far I am very lucky in that department
- My surgery - I can't even begin to say all the great things about this part of my life
The Not So Great thing:
- We are moving - this is a long story... staying in the area, but moving none the less
- I have been making some bad choices - in my post op life prior to now I have been so good about being compliant... I think that some old patterns are peeking their way into my life right now and I have made small, yet bad choices. I am aware, so that is a good thing, and when I do feel that I am making those mistakes I do talk to Reg and make him hold be accountable for my actions. I should be able to do that myself, but I know I need to have that other entity in order to me to get it
- I want to be cleared for having a baby - this one is hard for me... I have wanted this for years before surgery, but for some reason we were not able. Loosing weight was one of the things that I needed to do to improve my chances... so I hope that I reach goal soon and stay there so I can get approval to start to try.
For some reason this birthday feels different to me... Not that I am stressed about getting older, or even feeling older, if that were the case I would feel great, as I feel better now then I did when I turned 30 or 28 or even 25. Maybe it is all the changes that have happened in the last year... I wasn't even at 90 days post op this time last year...
I feel I have more confidence now, which I am finding is good in some ways bad in others... I think that some of my friends do not care for that... I guess it was nice having the friend that made them look good... oh well, I have seen it many times from other posts and blogs that not everyone will be OK with your changes... I still have a hard time taking compliments, but I am not sure that will ever change... I do say thank you, but I feel uncomfortable. A new realization is getting hit on... that never happened to me before. I often wondered how I landed my husband, but oh yeah he is annoying... just kidding, god was looking down on the both of us when we met, and I thank him for that quite often. I have been out a few times with girlfriends and happy hours after work, and I have been hit on a few times... I usually don't know how to handle that, but I make due... I need to get my wedding ring re-sized, as I don't wear it very often, because it can just fall off. My problem is that it has a design on it that goes around the entire band and if I re-size that it will be ruined... I just need to go and get a cheap silver ring or something for now. I told Reg that I hate going out with him, because he always has his ring on and I usually don't, and It kind of makes me feel like he is cheating with me... does that make sense? Not that having a wedding ring on makes a big difference from what I hear. Well wait... maybe we can turn that into some role play thing if you know what I mean... Does anyone watch the TV show Modern Family? There was an episode where the husband and wife meet in a bar like they are having an affair...
Well I could write more, but I have to get ready for work... YEAH!!
Coming Soon:
The Trainer Story
The House Story
SO I am going to raise my bottle of Sobe Vitamin Water and toast to a new me on my 34th Birthday, may all who read this be as blessed as I feel that I am, even with all of the other not so great crap in my life!
