So I called Verizon Wireless Monday to see if they could do anything for me. I am so glad I did because they offered me a new phone for the 1 year contract price of $200 dollars. I get a $100 dollar visa gift card back in three weeks. It worked out for the best actually. My originally phone only cost me $50 dollars, so it wasn’t like I paid for price for it. I think the full price retails for $300 dollars. $100 dollars is a lot better then $300! I still can’t believe I did that. That morning, I was suppose to wake up early and go somewhere, I guess I got punished for not going huh. Oh well, I have a new phone now and I am thinking about selling my old phone for parts since it wont come back on. Everything else on it good.

So here is my new baby! It is the same phone but in purple. I actually took my friend on Friday to get hers and it was soo pretty in purple. I was jealous! Ha and now I have it in purple. I am still upset about this whole thing. I haven’t activating my new phone yet. I have been busy with laundry, work and trying to find a good spam plugin. I plan activating either today or tomorrow. Depends how much time I have. I have been very busy lately. Ugh.

Tomorrow is my last test for my gastric bypass surgery I must complete before surgery. Its not really a test, I just need to meet with a mental health doctor and he needs to write me a letter. Its a two hour event! Geez! After tomorrow all my test will be done! I am also going for another test Friday, but its not anything to do with my surgery that I must complete. Next Friday is my weight in. I sure hope I lost something. I have been eying the gyms scale and it said I gained 2 pounds. Ugh why!!!

My friend Jenn is having a giveaway at Jenn.Nu for sex toys. The giveaway is for Climax Gems Margarita Bubbly, valued at $20.99. Woo hoo. I would love to add that to my very small collection! The giveaway starts March 6th, 2010 and ends on March 13th, 2010 at 11:59EST. So be sure to enter! Good luck everyone!

Yesterday was a crazy day. I was running around here and there. I was so tired and sore from the gym. Ugh! I took my friend to go get her new upgraded blackberry curve 2 phone yesterday. Its just like mine, but hers is purple. I have to say that the purple curve looks very sexy! I also picked up a purple case for my phone too. I love the color purple. Do you see a trend?

I went to my doctors appointment yesterday to get back on birth control. My gastric bypass surgen said its a good idea to do this because you are not suppose to get pregnant for 18 months after surgery. So to be safe, I went back on. Somehow my blood pressure is always high when I go to the doctors office. I really think I have the “white coat syndrome” because my doctor always checks it before I leave and its normal. So I called a week ago to get back on birth control and my doctors nurse was giving me a hard time about going back on it. So in order to get back on it, I have to see my regular doctor (which is in the same office) for her to clear me.

So I went and she checked my blood pressure and it was slightly low. First its high and now its low. What gives body? So she told me she would approve me for the pills, but she wants me to come back in 3 months (right before my surgery) to check my levels in my blood and blood pressure. So my doctor told my nurse of my gynecologist to allow me to have the pills. The nurse gave her a hard time about not having them and my blood pressure always being high. So my doctor told her that my blood pressure was “normal” and she has to be on the pills for surgery because shes not allow to get pregnant.  The gynecologist nurse was giving my doctor a hard time still. My doctor told her that I am aproving her for the pills. She will come in 3 months for a check up and see where she is from there in a very stern voice. I was shocked. So she sent my prescription to CVS and I was out of there! Ha ha!

I thought the nurse was a bitch anyways when I called. She did nothing but piss me off, but because Matthew works for the group I bit my tongue and was nice. If the table were turned, then I would so be a bitch about it! I got my pills now and everything is good. My doctor also recommended me to go for a Venous study. I am having a hard time getting my snow boots on my left leg. Its so swollen. So I also bought this up to her. I am glad I am going to get the test done, because my gastric bypass surgeon would like to see that I got it done. Basically they just test your legs to see if you have any blood clots. My doctor didn’t think I did, but she said go get it tested to be sure. So if it comes back positive, I decided not to get the surgery because there may be a chance that I get a blood clot during surgery and die. I am so not risking that. So its better to get it checked then not getting checked. If I do have it, then I will take care of it and continue working out at the gym. I don’t think I will have problems though. I had my gall bladder out and had no issues. I also had kidney stones back in 1997 and had no issues as well.

Luckily I found my bathing suit and Matthews. It was in the second tote I opened. I am so glad that I found it because I didn’t feel like going through all these boxes downstairs in the basement. I also found some of Matthew’s gym shorts that he bought from the other gym. So I am washing all of them, so tomorrow we can go swimming! I am really looking forward to that hot tube! Mmm after running around yesterday, I could sure use it!

Matthew and I joined a fitness center. It was the best thing we ever did. I was going to just join myself and he wanted to tag along. After hearing about the center and getting the tour, we were sold. This fitness center is connected with a hospital. So they have doctors working there as well. I like that there is someone medically staffed. God for bid something should happen to Matthew or I. Its nice to know that someone knows what there doing.

So what’s so great about the center is that every 3 months, you get to meet with the nurse. She checks your weight, does measurements and checks body fat. They also listen to your heart and blood pressure if you wish. Which is great for me because my blood pressure has been high lately. I actually went to the doctors today to get it checked so I can go back on birth control and it was slightly low. Very strange.

So there gonna keep checking it. I am going to the gym three times a week now. They have a pool, sauna, hot tub and steam rooms. I am very looking forward to the steam room and sauna this weekend! I can’t wait! Matthew goes for his nurse visit this Saturday. I will be enjoying that pool. Doing laps. I heard that really burns calories.

We also get a one hour session with a personal trainer. We get to meet with them next week. They know what burns fat more quicker then just using a bike or treadmill. I am curious to see what they tell me. I am so excited! I can’t wait. I know my gastric bypass doctor is going to be very please that I joined a gym. I also got all my tests done need for surgery.

This was the same night I had my sleep study on. Oye, what a pain in the ass that was. It was a very bad experience. I never want to go through that again. I am so glad that it is over and done with. I did not sleep what so over. All I did was stare at the walls and did a lot of thinking about things. Finally 6 am came and I was able to go home. The tech told me she noticed that I didn’t sleep at all and that I might have to retake the test as I did not sleep. Yeah well if you had cords all over your body, head and face would you sleep? I really hope that I don’t need to.

I went to pick up breakfast for Matthew and took a shower and went to bed. I got about 4 hours asleep. I made some phone calls and called the lady for the fitness center if we could change the time to 6pm. I explained to her what had happened and she told me it was okay and come down. So we did and now we are members! Its really nice because its month to month. No contracts. The center has 3 pools, a hot tub, steam room, sauna and tons of equipment. They also have two studios and spin bike room. The locker room is so nice! Matthew and I are so happy with the decision that we joined. I wish we had found out about this place sooner. The lady that signed us up has just lost 150 pounds and told me that I can do it. She also told me once I hit my goal that they would love to do a story on me. I am really excited about that. I am hoping some business opt would come out of that too!

So today we went to the gym for the first time. I did 5 miles on the bike! I have never ever done that before!! I still don’t understand where the heck my energy came from. I didn’t do all 5 miles all at once, but I broke it up with different equipment there. I am so excited to hit the pool. I want to do some laps! I do have to say though that I think I hurt my ankle as it has been bothering me since we left. Maybe the water will help it. I plan on hitting up the hot tub.

I will be updating my new theme on here tomorrow! I also have a new domain for my weight loss journey! I will post that here too tomorrow! I also re did my review site! A really nice company has contacted me to do some possible you tube videos and test some more products! Yeah for free products!!

This weekend was a complete waste! I am not going to get into it. I needed somethings that I needed to get done, and that never happened. Grr. I did get all the things I need to get done for my sleep study Tuesday. So I guess it wasn’t that much of a wasted weekend! I got 10 tubes of blood taken on Saturday for my surgery in July. After that I felt so sleepy and didn’t want to do anything. Matthew treated me to Chilis and I wanted to go to Target but because I was so sleep we didn’t go.

I am still a little sick. I got a cough and runny and stuffy nose. Matthew is still sick too. Die colds die! I hope we feel better soon. There is another snow storm coming I heard on Wednesday. Enough snow already!! I am sick of the snow, colds and it being cold!

I entered for this contest on Youtube to win a leopard purse. Sadly I did not win, but I was looking through there site and I found a bag that I am in love with! Not to mention it is sold out too! Nothing pisses me off more then it being out of stock!

Okay enough bitching today!

I have been sick since last Friday night. It really sucks! First my Brother got sick and then Matthew got sick. One of them got me sick. Not sure which one, but we all have the same thing. I was really sick Sunday and I was out and about and it really sucked! I had a fever and I was so miserable, but I had to go out. I have been getting more rest though. Tomorrow I have my appointment with the medical group for my gastric bypass. I hoping that I will be well enough to go as I already canceled twice. One was due to issues with the insurance and the other was due to snow.  Then Friday I have my first weight in meeting, Saturday I go for blood work and next Tuesday is my sleep study. I am a busy girl!

My new theme is about 95% done for March. I love the way it came out. It is very different! I can’t wait to share it with you guys! I also bought a new domain for my gastric bypass surgery journey. The domain name just came to me and I went to check if it was available and it was! I was so excited! I was working on a theme for it, and then I started to cough and well then my throat was hurting and I couldn’t be bothered. So I am planning on working on it tonight since my new theme for March 2010 is done! Can you believe it will be March??? WTF? Where has this year gone?? The time is just flying by which is great for me because July 2010 seems so far away!

Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day! Mine was pretty good. It was a very long day. Matthew surprised me with a perfume that I have been wanting. I seen it before and we were low on cash and we seen it again at Macys and he let me get it.  It even came with a cute purse too. The lady at the perfume counter was so nice to give me a goody bag with other perfume samples in it! This is great for my purse or when I travel, which I will be doing late April. The perfume is called Queen by Queen Latifah. It smells soo good.  It reminds me a lot of Thierry Mugler Angel, one of signature perfumes along with Ralph Lauren Collection for Her by Polo Ralph Lauren and Jean Paul Gaultier Classic perfume. Those are all my most favorite perfumes and now Queen Latifah’s Queen is added to the list!

I am really excited about my first weight in this Friday, yet I am very nervous. I really hope that I lost something. With all the medication I have been taking for my colds, I hope that would not effect it. I plan to eat light for the next two days. I am not really hungry anyways because I don’t feel well. Alieve D and Delsym has been my best friends lately. They really kill the cold good. Delsym really tastes good too! Thursday I meet with the dietitian for an hour to talk about my eating habits after surgery. It is a mandatory thing I must do to be approved for my surgery. Next Tuesday is my sleep study. This will be the first time I was sleeping without Matthew since the day we got married. I am going to be lonely. Oh well, it is only one night!

My first weigh in for my gastric bypass is Thursday I’m really nervous about it. I hope that I lost some weight. I can tell in my jeans that they are looser thought. Jenn was so sweet to let me raid her closet while at her house. She has great style! I love all her clothes! Its awesome that I can wear her clothes. I hope someone can wear mine when its time for me to buy new skinny girl clothes!

Blah both Matthew and I are sick. He claims that when he was shoveling the snow when we had the big snow storm that he didn’t cover up well enough and he got a bad cough. He gave it to me. My brother is also sick as well. A bunch of sick people! I don’t feel like going out tomorrow, but I have too.

What are your plans for v day? Matthew and I are going out with family most of the day. Hopefully going to the grocery store for my food and movies to see the new valentines day movie with Ashton Kutcher… Yum
