Each day is getting better and better. I feel stronger and more determined. I know I’ve felt this way before and then later in the day, crash and burn. So I have to keep my spirits high, not let the little thoughts of food creep into my mind and keep doing the exercise. It WILL pay off.
Food : 1492
Exercise: 20 minutes on the treadmill

I’m not going to talk about what happened the day before. When I post on here, I’m going to talk about what’s going on today and each day ahead of me.
Food : 1,425 calories
Exercise: 20 minutes on the treadmill at 2.5 mph. I also did a couple minutes on the Ab-doer. I should of done weights, but didn’t. I have no real excuse, except I didn’t want to.
I ate some tortilla chips. Not alot, just a small bowl. I could of taken the whole bag like I normally do, but I just got a bowl out and had that. I won’t be eating anything else for the rest of the night. I do have to still drink 1.5 liters of water though which is not a problem, except for the fact I’ll be up all night. Other than that, I feel I’ve gotten most of my control back. Each day I’ll get stronger and stronger and pretty soon the chips in the cupboard won’t even bother me. If the swiss cakes and nutty rolls aren’t bothering me, I don’t understand why the chips do.
I have to eat more protein. I also have to cut back on my fat intake. It was half of what I ate today. Geeze, no wonder I’m not losing.

Yay!
I think I’ve got my groove back! I’ve been OP all day, drank my water, (still working on last liter) and even got a tiny bit of exercise in, which as you all know if you’ve been reading my blog, just doesn’t happen to often for me. I only did 10 minutes on the treadmill, but will try and work up to more each day. Yesterday I did about 15 minutes total. Ten using the ab-doer and about 5 with my hand weights. I know, I know, not much, but it’s big for me.
So all in all, I’m on my way!!

I decided to join the Biggest Loser Challenge on 3FC. I even went and got a Ab-doer at the Goodwil. So with my weights, treadmill, and Ab thingie, I will hopefully get into a routine of exercise. I have to still go to the store and get my healthy foods. So I have no excuses for not losing weight. I’ve got all the right tools, I just need to get my head on straight so I can do this.
I’ve gained some weight back. I’ve just eaten whatever I wanted…..and alot of it. I have to get my resolve back and become the strong person I was before when I was losing so well. How do I find that though?
The challenge starts Monday. I know I can do this. I’ve done it before, but it gets to a point where I feel I’ve forgotten how to lose weight. Does that make any sense? I WILL do this. I don’t want to go back to what I was before. I look at those pictures and am embarrassed and disgusted with myself. Even eating all the stuff I have for the last couple of weeks, it’s a struggle to eat that much, but yet I do it. LIfe is alot simpler when the food is simpler. I CAN AND I WILL DO THIS!!

I’ve totally blown it for quite some time now. So I figured, it’s about time I got my butt in gear and started trying to lose weight again. I sure don’t want to gain it all back after trying so hard for the last year a few months to get it off.
I’ve gained about 16lbs back. It just packs on so easily. Don’t get me wrong, it took alot of eating to get it back on, but still, it just comes back so darn easy. I wasn’t even drinking my water which was always so easy for me.
With my family visiting, and now gone home, Jim is back to work after a week of vacation, I figure this is the best time to start trying again.
So with that said, I’ll try and exercise and get back to the swing of being OP and hopefully the pounds will leave as easily as them returned. …..I can only hope.

I had an appointment with my doc today and overall, things are going well. He told me to keep doing what I’m doing because it’s paying off.
My A1C came back with an 6.7 and when I was first diagnosed with diabetes, it was at 7.5, so that has improved alot. My bad cholesterol is a bit high, my good cholesterol is low, so I have to work on that. Mainly I will cut out red meat and eggs. I can’t give up on my chocolate completely, so he told me the 77% dark chocolate is the best, but only a small piece.
My right foot is more numb than my left. The heel of my right is completely numb, but I can still feel my toes and arch and ball, but on my left, I can feel most of it, more than my right. I asked if that would ever get better, he doesn’t seem to think so, which is sort of depressing, and I have no one to blame but myself.
He checked me for vertigo, since I keep getting dizzy, but thankfully, I don’t have that. He thinks it could be dehydration. I have quit drinking my water since I got sick, so I know I have to start that up again.
I’m going to try and maintain for the next week or two. I have family coming up and it’s sort of stressful. So as long as I can maintain, and not overeat and not eat the bad things, I should be ok.
Keep your fingers crossed for me!!

I haven’t been losing. Probably because I went on a feeding frenzy once again. It always happens this time of month. I know why, I just for some reason, can’t control it. But I’m back on track again.
I have a very sore throat and cough right now and the only thing that feels good on it is soda, diet of course, but it’s not helping me to not retain water. But water just sounds terrible right now.
I’m going to go and try and drink some for the rest of the night though. I gotta.
Over the 4th of July weekend, we went to this park where it’s the beach on one side, a lake on the other, and the forest on the other. We went pedal boating which was alot of fun on the lake. Wore us out, but it was fun. We also went in search or rocks for the gardens and then after all that we had a really nice picnic with the kids. Just a really enjoyable day.
Didn’t really overeat but some of the choices I made weren’t the best. Hopefully it will get better.

Here are some pics of me since I first started. The first is me in April of ‘07, second is at my 25lb loss in August ‘07, third at 50lb loss in October ‘07 and now at a 75lb loss in July ‘08.
I didn’t think I would ever get this far but it’s so amazing that I stuck with it. I know I still have a long way to go, but just knowing I can do it is so wonderful
June 30th
I made it to 275 and then didn’t drink my water and went back up to 277 today. I’m not worried about it though, because I know it’s water and good ol you know who visiting for the month.
I was so excited to finally make it to my mini goal after so many months of trying. I told my hubby but he just doesn’t get how hard it is for me to lose, so just sorta said “Oh good” and that was about it.
Now my next mini goal is 250. Sounds so far off, but I’m hoping for it to happen this year, seeing how there are still 5 months to go. I can’t really even imagine being that weight again after being so big for over 26 years, so I’m sure it will be amazing!
I tried on a pair of shorts my Mom gave me the other day. They are a size 18. I actually got them on and up, zipped and buttoned. Believe me, they were tight, but the fact of just getting them up and on, was so crazy. I’ve still been wearing 24’s. The 22’s that I do have fit fine in the waist and butt, but too tight in the legs for me so I have to find some that give me a schoosh more room in the legs. Soon I hope to be in 20’s though and just skip right over the 22’s.
