Weigh In! :)

Ok so I meant to post this earlier today, but got a little busy with sick Elliot and Adam. I have decided that I am going to do a weigh in the 10th of every month! I think this will help me stay on track as well as show everybody that I truly am working hard.
Heaviest weight- 237lbs
Current weight-207 lbs
Weight lose so far- 30 lbs! :)
I am so happy, I think this year I will finally get to a good healthy weight! My goal for March 10 will be to lose down to 197. Stay tuned! :)

Sugar overload!

Ok so I thought, maybe I could have a cheat...a small little something so I could maybe still enjoy what the rest of the world ate! LOL Boy was I wrong!!! I decided while I was out running errands today that I would get myself my very favorite drink, a chai, and those who know how much I love my Coke, yes a well made chai beats out a Coke every time!!!! :) I feel terrible!!!!! After about a month of no sugar or "bad" carbs I feel absolutely miserable!!! I have a headache and my chest hurts and my stomach hurts....so looks like I won't be having anymore cheats! Oh well!

So Happy!!!

Ok so I am updating this morning because I have some good news! :) The Dr said that if I started losing weight then we knew my blood sugar would be back on track! Well, this morning I weighed myself and I am at 213!!! I know it seems like alot, but the 217 I posted yesterday was from a week and a half ago! I try not to weigh alot cause sometimes it is discouraging. I have been on the medicine for almost 3 weeks now and drastically changed my diet, so he said 10 lbs in the first month would not be uncommon, that means since Christmas I have lost a total of 11 lbs!!!! I am so happy to see this going away! I told all the lbs I just lost good bye and I didn't want to ever see them again! :)

Just some info

Ok, as some of you know by now, I have been diagnosed with insulin resistance/ metabolic syndrome. This is basically pre- pre diabetes! So I have get myself in shape and lose the weight and eat healthier and just all around try and become a better person. I decided to do another blog because well I think I need it! I know most of you are thinking what's the problem, why would be this be so difficult, but it really is, I literally have to watch everything I eat now! Basically, I can't have carbs and no red meat, hardly any dairy.....are you with me? Difficult!!!!!! My total daily allotment of carbs I can have is 60 grams, next time you eat something check the carb content and wonder how I am going to squeeze that into my daily allotment! I know I sound frustrated and angry and annoyed, but I am and I figure on here I can voice my frustrations to who ever will listen! LOL! Now for the honest truth of it all, cause let's face it, if I am going to do this I want to be completely honest about everything that is going on with me. I am taking Metformin to help regulate my insulin problem and keep my sugar levels from sky-rocketing. I do exercise between 30 to 45 mins 4 days a week, the Dr wants me up to at least 5 days a week, so not too far off from that really. Eating healthy isn't that bad, I have learned to cook and steam veggies to where they taste good, (can't eat them raw, that's just gross to me!) I would love plenty of support and I am hoping that I can get on here several times a week if not every day to do an update. So OK, that was the honest part, now here is the BRUTALLY honest part!!! My weight should be at 112 to 120, I am thinking I looked pretty good at 130, that's what I weighed when Adam and I got married and I think really any less than that and I feel it would be too skinny! Right now I am at 217......got a LONG way to go!!!!!! My heaviest weight was at 237, so as you see, I have been working on this very hard, however the Dr said it's not my fault I wasn't losing weight, he said until I get my blood sugar under control my body was out of whack and it didn't matter how little I ate or how much exercise I did, so lets hope with changes in diet and taking this medicine will help! I know that's a lot of info upfront, but I would imagine my other posts to be smaller! So as you can see I have a long way to go and hopefully this will keep me motivated and stay on task as well as let me vent when I am feeling like I have had enough, cause believe me I WILL feel that way! LOL!
