Here I go again...

I finished up my last clinical at the children's hospital yesterday. I was in the clinic this time and gave vaccinations and watched the nurse do hearing and vision screenings. Most of the kids were in for Well Child Checks. I was running around a lot but it was fun and I learned a lot.

My sister had her surgery yesterday. They removed her stent and tried extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), she's sore but glad to have the stent out.

I went to the doctor Tuesday and, as I suspected, I gained all the weight I had lost last year back (and more!). I'm not happy about that. The doc suspects diabetes and wants me to check my blood sugar twice a week. She also put me back on metformin but only 500 mg (I was on 1500 mg last year). I want her to increase it, but I guess I'll wait til I see her again before I start questioning her.

I joined this daily challenge thingy through facebook and am really liking it. I am also finding out how out of shape I am. I used to be really flexible, now I'm not. I want to build that back up. I searched online for exercises but I can't do half of them so I got the bright idea to search for plus size exercises and had much better luck! I found a lot of sites that recommend walking and yoga and not just regular yoga-fat girl yoga!

Yoga for Round Bodies
Heavy Weight Yoga
Mega Yoga
Plus-sized Pilates and more!

I'm gonna see if the library has any of these and if not I'll probably see if we can order one from amazon. I am also going to start walking again. I need to quit making excuses and just do it.

I really miss C. Having an "online" relationship sucks after having a real life one for a year. I feel like I don't have a boyfriend sometimes, it's like we've lost that connection. We don't get to talk to each other like we used to and even though we have voice chat, its not the same. I haven't spoken to him in over 24 hours so I'm a little frustrated. Hopefully, we'll be able to talk soon.
