Back to the bump and grind.

Today was my first day back at work. I was dreading it at first because I was unsure of how long I would be able to sit. Surprisingly, it's gone really well. My morning was swamped due to playing catch up. By the time I looked at the clock it was time for me to stop drinking (when you have the lap band, you can't drink 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after a meal; you also cannot drink during meals.). I had a delicious lunch of pureed chicken tortilla soup and black cherry jello. Please, don't be jealous!

This week should be pretty busy. I am trying to keep my self busy with after work projects and errands so that I am not tempted to eat :) At this point, I am still on the "walking only" exercise program and am hoping to con my neighbor into walking with me after work until the weather gets too cold. It's definitely chilly today but I think I could handle it!

One thing that has been super annoying is that the dogs have decided that they need to lay on me whenever I am sitting down. Ever since my surgery, I've had some tingling in my leg (probably from changing the position I sleep in) and they're constantly laying on me! I try to push them off but they think I've just shifted and they can go right back to where they were before. It's SOOOO annoying. Oliver's pretty good about moving on once I push him off but Susie's like me. She won't take no for an answer. She also doesn't know her strength. Homegirl is strong!!!

In completely unrelated news, tomorrow is a really big day for me. It's the release date for David Cook's debut album. I am so excited for this, I could pee my pants. My friend Jessica tried to give me the bootlegged version of it last night (which under normal circumstances I totally would have taken) but I insisted on waiting for tomorrow. So, I will be up at 5am to download the album from iTunes and sync it to my ipod -
