Accomplishment!

Feeling an incredible sense of accomplishment at the moment.  I just finished all the training modules of my Medical Coding program and I am about to start the practicum where I get to test out everything I've learned!  Getting closer and closer to becoming a real medical coder.
Today was slow and uneventful at work.
I keep reading and hearing about how getting healthy (body & mind) causes some big changes in your life and the people you surround yourself with.  I would like to surround myself with people who love and support me and are not constantly negative.  
What if there is no option to get away from the negativity? 
I am hoping my therapist will be able to give me tips on dealing with negativity.  
Speaking of therapist, I finally got an email from her this afternoon.  She was actually at the office, wasn't aware that someone had locked the door of the office, and her cell phone was dead.  It sounds plausible and I really don't want to go searching for another therapist with the right hours for me.  We rescheduled for tomorrow.
I wish so much I could be a better role model, a better influence on those around me.  All I can do is keep doing what I'm doing and keep my head up!
I walked over a mile at lunch today and I attempted Jillian Michael's video again this evening... still pretty tough, I will work my way into more, slowly.  My eating was a little off, but I think I did ok.  
Wednesday confession: so, those smudgies that were kind of healthy? I ate about 4 of  those today :-/  and I had a grande vanilla latte from starbucks.

Hm, no pictures for today...

Abandonment issues

Monday at work was super slow, but we had a little family emergency in the evening (everything is fine now).  So the added stress & worry brought on the emotional eating :(  

Monday confession: 4 morninstar farm vegetarian bacon strips with muenster & colby jack cheese melted on top, plus a sandwich bag 3/4 filled with french fried onions (the kind they top green bean casserole with).

Tuesday work was slow again and I didnt go walking at lunch.  

I was anticipating my 2nd therapy appt that evening.  I got to the appt 15min early and played games on my phone until appt time.  I walk up 5min before appt starts...the door is locked.  I called and left a msg for the therapist, I called the office number which said they were closed, I emailed her.  Nothing.  *sigh*

Tuesday confession: I ate 3 of my oatmeal cookies at work thinking I would workout later to burn them off, but no workout.

Pictures of my Monday & Tuesday

A much better version of toast w/peanut butter & applesauce (morning snack at work)

Someone shared this on Facebook, so instead of eating a pint of ice cream & a can of Pringles after being abandoned by my therapist, I ate one of these.
