It's been a long time since I have posted but I am back now. My initial attempt to slim down wasn't so successful, but now I am doing well. I started doing Weight Watchers again and have been exercising regularly. I made it to a WW meeting on Wednesday, March 2nd. I went shopping for groceries immediately afterwards which wasn't such a successful endeavor. I bought all kinds of bad for me foods cause I figured I would have one last feast before I began. Well, that feast lasted for 5 days. But on Monday, March 7th, I started sticking to it. I returned to my weekly WW meeting on March 9th and wasn't too dissapointed when I was only down a pound to 209. Afterall, I had only been doing it for 2 days. Well, I have officially been sticking to it for an entire week and been working out as well. I do 45 minutes of cardio on weekdays followed by weight training 4 days a week. Weekends are variable. I am really looking forward to my weigh in this Wednesday.
What else is going on in my crazy life???
I've been crashing at my friends Danielle's place (one of the origianl Single Girls Club members) for the last week or so while I wait to get an apt to sublet. It's been a good time. I haven't seen nearly enough of her this year. I have had the chance to do some catching up, have same good dinner conversations and never ending laughs. It's weeks like this that remind me of what I will miss when I leave for residency.
Speaking of residency...
Today is the day that every 4th year medical student in the country finds out if they have an intern position somewhere in the country. But no one will know where yet. If one has not matched, they have the next two days to do what is called "scramble". This involves calling all the residency programs in the country that have not filled their spots and hoping they will take you. AND THEN...Thursday, March 17th (St. Patty's Day) is THE DAY. That's when we all find out WHERE we will be for the next chapter of our medical training. I REALLY, REALLY want to go to the Moses Cone program in Greensboro, NC. I had a great time when I visited there a second time and had all of my reservations about the program cleared up when I was there. And, there is a good chance my friend Cristin may be able to move there with me while she completes some more grad school.
Anyway, keep your fingers crossed for me this week. And check back for my weight loss updates and residency match results.
Ciao,
Dr. T
