Return of the Mack

I'm BAAAAACK!

I'm finally done clinical, done with the early and stressful days and the super lazy and gluttonous nights. I guess I just needed the time to get through these two months and now they are over I have two whole months to make a dent in the bottom 200s and once and for all see the 100s (even if it's 199).

My clothes are tight, my confidence is a little less than usual, my body feels flabby. I am itching to get moving (although at this particular moment it's 11:30pm) - stretching and strengthening.

Tomorrow is a new day to begin again... is the motivation here again? I think so... I just need one day after another to get there (again). I'll make it work.

As for clinical... it went really well. I had a great final review where my evaluator almost cried because she was so proud of me (really it was because I did reception one day when we really needed it, so I had to learn super quickly because the front desk is extremely busy - somehow I managed it just fine) and how I have emotional intelligence etc. - certainly a great boost to the ego... Hmm... and also how sometimes I trail off in my speech (haha... I totally do that when I realize I don't know what I am talking about). I definitely have some things to work on, but overall it went really well. Stressful stressful days with constant evaluation, but looking back it might not have been as bad as I thought. (Actually it probably was) All our personalities didn't quite mesh exactly and I had to bite my tongue quite often to not cause problems, but in the end it was to my advantage. My evaluator commented that I knew when it was appropriate to say things - she wasn't specific here, but I'll assume it was referring to this.
So with hugs (and cake and chocolates), we (me and my friend from class) left our first taste of the clinic feeling much much lighter.

Now if only I physically weighed less too.... what a segueway eh?
The daily weigh-ins will begin again tomorrow morning, as will the daily food tracking, and heck maybe some daily posting too.
Let's see where a week will take us.

P.S. I just saw a taping of a concert by City and Colour and he is awesome... I recommend downloading everything by him... do it... do it now.
