I'm back!!

Today I feel better!!

      Ok so a lot has been going on!  Up down, up down!  I had not realized how far up I was, because my scale said 283-286.  When I went to the Dr's in March his scale said 297! whoops! Wow!! Shocker!! I had no idea I was creeping that close to 300 again!! How could it be??  Was it because I ate whatever I wanted?  Was it because the first time in 61/2 years I thought it was ok to drink real sodas again?!  Either way I was out of control.  I had stopped checking my blood sugar.  I had stopped taking half of my meds!  I don't know what happened to me why do I go so far off the deep end??  I had wanted to lose weight before my daughters wedding which is Sat by the way!!  I had absolutely NO motivation.  What did I tell my Dr?  I don't know what happened to me I had gained 15 lbs the 3 months before I went to see him and here I was another 15lbs!!

So, I decided to first of all before I went back to the Drs I knew I needed to get under some control!! I decided the first thing was to cut out soda!! So I did!! diet ones too!!  In thinking about that now I probably weighed more then 300 before I did that I just didn't have a good scale!!  Then I started cutting back on snacking and eating to much sugary stuff. I tried to cut back on my intake of everything..  I was doing pretty good!  On my scale I was down about 10lbs.  Then one day I lost 20lbs then 2days later I gained 10lbs!!  So do you get where I'm going here?? Yep it was time to invest in a new scale!!  Well that wasn't fun either It was 6lbs more then the highest number on my old scale so now I have gained 16lbs!!What the H***!!!

On Mon. April 30th a customer came in to my store and I noticed he had lost a significant amount of weight I asked him what his secret was even though I was a little afraid it was because he was ill??   No,  it was because he had started using the my fitness pal app on his iPhone!!  I had joined that a long time ago but was never consistent!  Go figure!!  Any ways he also told me his wife who had more to lose then him had been using it for a year and had already lost 100lbs!!  Wow!! that's for me.. 

It has been 50 days and the good news is I went back to my Dr today and I have lost 26lbs!!! YAY me!! I am still about 8lbs away form my lowest weight in 2010,  But I'm getting there!!  I have to admit I am scared tho. 

I talked to my Dr about that today he told me just take it one day at a time!!  Who knows maybe this time................

Wish me luck!
