Oofdah...

I am so glad that this week is over! Work was long and boring once again, but at the same time it was a welcome change. I have been so mentally drained worrying about my dad. Every time I thought about it I had to fight back tears. To make matters worse my co-worker and friend B's dad had the same incident as my dad.

Today my dad went to get checked out. The doctors did an angiogram and found a blockage that was pretty much cutting off the blood supply to the right side of his heart. They did angioplasty and put a stent in. He had to spend the night in the hospital but will hopefully be able to go home tomorrow.

I talked to him on the phone this evening and just broke down. I felt bad since he had just gotten out of surgery, but we talked and he gave me the breakdown of what happened at the hospital. I am going to go home next weekend to spend some time with him for Father's Day.

Tomorrow I have a quiet day planned. I have to take TJ to the vet to get his annual heart worm test, then I am going to go to Whole Foods to get some groceries for the week and maybe make a big salad from their salad bar. Every time I go by the salad bar I think about how yummy it all looks. I am then going to clean our house up since E's dad is coming this Sunday, and I have laundry piling up. Tomorrow night E and I are going to grill and have a nice dinner alone (hopefully)

Trip Is Booked...

The week before Christmas E and I will be spending 5 days and 4 nights in San Juan Puerto Rico!!!! I am really excited. I haven't been on a vacation in a very long time. We are staying at the Wyndham Rio Mar.

Now all I have to do is get my butt in shape by Christmas!

Hi...

This week has been stressful and it is only Tuesday.

I found out yesterday that my dad had to go to the hospital on Sunday because he was having chest pains. By the time they got to the hospital the chest pains were gone, but the EKG didn't look right so he was admitted for observation. Today he was supposed to have a stress test done but they did another test before hand and found that at some point in the past my dad had a heart attack. They weren't really sure when, but there was scarring on his heart that indicated that there had been one, so the test was put on hold. He will now be going to a different hospital for more tests. I really hope that everything works out. I don't know what I would do if something bad happened.

Anyway, on to less depressing things. I have started back on WW obviously, and have also started back with my attempt to be a runner. I am having trouble with my shoes. At least I think it is my shoes. My left foot hurts on the outer arch, and my right ankle hurts, both happen a few minutes into the run so I am not really sure what is going on. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Running shoes that might work, etc.

Weight Watchin...

Since E and I started seriously talking about the trip to Puerto Rico I got the kick in the pants that I needed to start following Weight Watchers again. I have been tracking points the best I can, and working really hard to not go outside my daily points. I did splurge a bit yesterday with some beer and Chipotle, but the rest of the week went really well. Lots of fruit, veggies and salad. I have also gone an entire week with absolutely no pop. I have been substituting lime H2Oh (sparkling water) instead. That and some grapefruit sparkling water. I still have my big cup of coffee each day, but it is a lot less caffeine and a lot less sugar.

I feel like this weekend went by too fast. I got my haircut yesterday morning, then E and I went to register Mr. Dog for his dog park permit and then headed to Chipotle for lunch and a grocery outing at Whole Foods. I stocked up on some salmon, halibut, sea bass and some asparagus and green beans, plus a hand full of other items. One of the best items I picked up was Coconut Milk. I got the original and it is really yummy. I don't really drink dairy milk so I have been substituting Light Silk Soy, but this Coconut Milk is a nice change.

Anyway, nothing else has been going on lately. Work has been slow with this new project I have been working on, but hopefully things pick up soon.

Update...

So here is a quick rundown of what has been going on in my life lately.

- Work has been crazy. More people have left. Good news is, one of them was super annoying guy! Also, the 2nd most annoying guy also left. Bad news, so did one of my good friends. : (

- I am working on a new project at work which could be really exciting.

- A friend of E's got married last week. I didn't go.

- We had an awesome BBQ party for Memorial Day. It was a make your own kabob party.

- My friend JB and I have decided to have a little weight loss competition. I am going to bust my ass to lose between 20-30 lbs before December. Why you may ask? Because E and I are more than likely going to be going here. We haven't decided if it will be from Monday to Sunday or from Wednesday to Sunday. Either way I am pumped.

- I have made a pretty big dent in the painting in my family room. I need to push through and get it done so we can get the floors done before the end of the summer.

So, in a nutshell that is what has been going on lately.
