20 lb club!! whoop whoop

yea i know it doesn't sound like much but 20 lbs down since i started a month ago is not too freakin' shabby, Right?! let's do the math together...ok...divide by 30...carry the 1...aw yes, the average amount of lbs lost per day is 0.666 lbs...wait what?! uh oh...dude, i swear i'm not the devil! i was kinda hitting a plateau in my weight loss & inches but i was told to try the IsaProtein. basically, i add a scoop of that to my shakes to help with stubborn weight loss....fyi, it has no taste so it makes the shakes gross unless you add something else to it like fruit. i had to add bananas because i think i was starting to have a lack of potassium in my diet...i could feel a charley horse coming on! yes even after a girls night of drunken bowling, i still lost a total of 5 lbs this past week...i give kudos to the IsaPro.

so today was one of those days at work where you are hit in the face with reality & are not completely ready for what's in store. by the time i got off work tonight, all i wanted to do was go home & eat some comforting pasta & drink something to calm my nerves. rest assure, i ate no pasta but i will say my nerves are calmer now =) i witnessed a life end today. yes it was a dog's & that happens fairly often especially in the field i'm in, but not as often in the way i experienced it. (excuse me while i vent about my job a lil bit.) i wasn't in the door less than 14 minutes minutes this morning, when a poodle mix came in after being attacked by a larger dog. we took x-rays...its back & ribs were broken so we rush him to surgery. lungs were punctured & other internal things were going on. i was put on breathing duty for him...it was up to me to make sure he was breathing whether he wanted to or not & make sure he didn't turn blue. long story short, we were an hour & 1/2 into surgery when he crashed...thanks to our doctor & his calm nature & knowledge, we were able to bring him back. but minutes later, he crashed again....unfortunately he didn't make it this time....a black cloud lingered over me the rest of the day. its one of those cases i will never forget & hope to never encounter again...but i know i will & hopefully it will help me be more prepared to deal with it a little better.

i apologize...enough with that dreariness of my life, right?! so...there is a whole separate business side of this IsAgenix program where you can make some extra dough but i'm not doing this whole thing for the money cuz that's not my bag, by any means. i'm only in it to get healthy & if by chance that helps promote the products of IsAgenix then so be it. But i'm not gonna lie to you, dear readers of "Awkwardly Shaped"....i am starting to make a profit from all this only because so many other friends are starting to try it out & i hope they are being as successful as i am! pyramid scheme, schmeramid scheme! that's not how we roll. slow & steady wins the race, my friends...slow & steady! instant results are not what any successful weight loss program is all about...it will take a little while for your body to realize what's up & to start losing the weight & inches on its own time if you are consistent! keep with it! sidenote: this was me preaching to the choir...so i just "duly noted" that last sentence.

i've come to realize that there are people reading this blog that i have no idea about...i don't know you & that's totally fine! if i just think the people reading this are the ones who are actually "following" me, it makes it a little easier (all 14 of you!) cuz i know you all & i'll continue to be honest & use my normal random humor when writing it. if i bore you when i go on random rants, i apologize. but thanks for reading anyways, right?! green...
