I dreading this day, as well as excited about. Today at 8am I had a Dr. Appt. this was my delima. I could be afraid of what the scale was going to say or the lab reports or I could go hoping for the best. Since I started this meal plan just 4 weeks ago this coming Saturday and the Lab test was done just 2 weeks into it. I figure I would get a pretty good idea if this was what was wrong with me.
So none to say the less the scale came first. I couldn't look, is was so afraid it was going to say the same thing as when I was last here or higher. But of course curiosity got the best of me and I looked. To my surprise the scale was my friend I had dropped 6 pounds from my last scale reading 38 days ago and 3 pounds since I was last at the Dr's office. So that had to be a step in the right direction for me. Now came the blood pressure which came at 124/70 pretty good for me. I was feeling much better by the time the Dr had come in. No matter what the lab test said I was at least heading in the right direction in my eyes. So the doctor comes in looks at the test results and says your vitimim D is good again, your bad hdl is up.30 from last time and your good hdl is in the godo range. She asked about the meal plan I started.
Told her about it she was ok with it. She told me that I was doing ok. I felt better than I had in a long time. Most time I come to the doctor I complain about the how tired I'm all the time. Not to day, I'm feeling like I could be the energizer bunny. Almost (lol).
Doctor told me I needed to keep going on the tredmill and to keep exercising. It was indeed doing me good. So again another yeah for me. I have been needing this for a long time. It just seemed to me a very large mountain to climb and I didn't think I could make it to that very first turn out on the road to the top. But I have and now the Mountain doesn't seem so big. The view is great and I can't wait to get to the top to see the view from there.
I was just thinking I had better give an idea of where I started this journey didn't make since to start from today.
Well lets see I have been trying for over 27 years to lose weight every time I would try I would get pregnant and loss weight only to gain it and more back after the birth of my child. So you can understand my problem when my youngest child is 22 and I'm still fighting this weight problem.
12 years ago I was at 185, I was walking downtown Marysville with my new boss at the time. But things changed and my walking at lunch time stop. Sorry can't remember why, I guess it doesn't really matter now.
So 2 years later I join Curves with a good friend I had made at work. Think more activity would do the job. Well it kept the weight off, but three years later I had ballooned to 213 lbs. I was frustrated lazy and need to start back to Curves and be more activie so I picked myself up and went back to the gym and began my process again. I still couldn't get down below 200 even with Curves I was frustrated, not sure how to move forward. I want to get the weight off. Diabeties runs in my family and I need to find a way to prevent my getting. I didn't give up just spent more money and time at the gym doing zumbia and took on Kettlebell class for about a 1 1/2. Both seemed to push me pass the 200 mark. I was glad but still need that 185 to show on scale again. I began getting Nurtisystem food for me and my husband in Jan 2010 in hopes that I could get the weight of in time for my son's wedding in June. I did get some of it off. But I need to step back a little During the time of Oct 2009 I had went to the Nurse Practionier and asked for help. She told me her Doctor had her on Metform a med for Diabaites. Even though she was not Diabatic. So I gave it a try for a year that is when the 1st 10 pound came off. Then I decided to go to the gym more and do Kettle Bell work outs. That of course is the next 5 pounds the time came four months later and I made the decision that 500 a month for my husband and I to eat was not going to work. So back to eating with the kids when they moved home and back to my weight going up and down between 186 and 192. 4 weeks ago I found a book called The Metablism Miracle (sorry spelling is not my strongest point.) Anyway, I have been have this idea running thru my head for years that there was something wrong with my metablism because I could not just work out, cutback on my eating and lose weight. Sp I read the book took the test in it. I was pretty darn sure that I had finally figured out what was happening to me. My body had made a change when I got pregant and now my system need a change to get back to where it needed to be to learn how to work the right way. So on April 6th, 2012 I started my new meal plan.( I don't want to call it a diet, meal plan makes it a better way to get past that horrible word DIET). A diet takes you on a roller coaster ride. I wanted my system to go back the way it was originally designed. So meal plan works for my mine. So today almost four weeks later you can see where I have gotten to.
Wish me luck
