To be, or not to be..is it really a question or is it more so a theory?

Trying to find a fitting photo for this post seemed to be more difficult than one could have desired! Googling "Hamlet" seems to generate and awful lot of pretty pictures of Jude Law..(not that I mind if he was a Danish Prince!)...but I was hoping for just a skull.... :o/

Anyway - it's been a very interesting week with highs and lows..
It's week 10 and I'm beginning to see signs of me working on my old food issues - although unconsciously. I.e. - I was really stressed out at work yesterday and on the way back to my desk I had the urgent feeling of wanting something to stuff in my face! But I wasn't even hungry.. So I started to think about why I was having these thoughts and it just came to me - I wanted something to eat to calm down my stress level..like I used to.. Like I've explained in previous posts, I don't feel hunger anymore...Perhaps if I went a few days withour food, but that ain't gonna happen. Don't want to get sick from not eating.. I'm still thinking about getting in touch with a psycologist again, but at the moment I don't feel the need for it. My mental issues invlving my surgery and weight loss have not yet reach a level that I can't handle myself...fortunately.. :o)

Some of that might very well have to do with the fact that it seems to be a slow progress where I'm concerned. I've heard of people shredding 10 kilos (lbs 22) per month, but I'm not. Whenever I've been to the gym I find that I've either gained a little weight or a status quo on the scale that week. I'm pretty sure this is due to the muscle growth that I'm going through after not doing any real work-outs for the past months. A very good example: Thursday last week was my first spin class with an instructor and although it was not a max intensity class I had to listen to my body, because I have absolutely no muscles in my legs like I had during my work-outs prior to the surgery. I need to get into gear - I want to get into gear..

BTW - they are totally UN-sexy - but my bike shorts fit!!!!! HU-AHH.. Well, at least they did until I sat on the bike and they started to come off!! I do not recommend wearing shorts 2 sizes to big, cause you'll have to pull 'em up the entire spin class..and there's no time for such things!

I've finally reached the point where I'm able to wear my real winter coat - boy, have I missed it the last couple of weeks?! It's really nice and warm when I'm in movement, but when I'm stading still it's still not wamr enough...damn those nutritions and vitamins stealing all the energy from my body, so I'm left cold and freezing!

Got a call today from Hamlet. No, not Jude Law ... ;o) My nurse wanted to see how things are progressing, if I'm feeling any pain or obstacles post-op.. All I could say was "NO"..all is good. She told me that my next appointment for check-up is on Friday, March 4th.. Letter was in mailbox when I got home today, so it wasn't like I hadn't been informed, but we got a laugh out of it... :o) With the letter I also got my case history. Very funny reading. I will try to upload it on the blog over the weekend. No promise, though.

Time to say g'night - see y'all later this week..!
