Greece Bound

This time next week I will be packing for Greece, we leave next Friday. It's kind of hard to believe I'm actually going to get there! Maybe not with Shawn as was the original plan, but it doesn't matter - I'm going! I have so much to do between now and then I can't even think about it!

One thing I 'get' to do is visit the knee surgeon next Monday for a consult on my knee. I had sweaty palms and a racing heart just making the appointment to see him! I'm not sure I'm going to make it to surgery! I just keep focusing on all the things I'll be able to do in 6 months that I can't do now. Focus!

I have started a new diet, Slim4Life. Very expensive, very time consuming and very restricted. And I'm not sure it's working very well! They guarantee three pounds a week if I follow their guidelines but I don't think I'm going to get that this week. I have to drive 30-minutes (one way) tomorrow to check in and we'll see what they find on the scale. I actually lost almost 9 pounds last week (my first week) but 5 of that was the easy-drop easy-add weight I always play with. If I can get to 160 by the time of the trip, that would be amazing. I just weighed and the scale said 166 - this morning it was 163; I don't know which one to believe! In any case, this is a very hard, not fun diet and I doubt I would recommend it (due to the amazing cost they don't warn you about). I hate having to wage this war.
