I'm A ok!

Not a lot going on I'm still doing my thing. I have only lost a few lbs this month. I haven't been walking much lately but plan on starting that up agin. I know it's the only way I can continue to lose the weight I need to! This is where it gets though. When I start to feel so much better about myself. About me life. I'm able to do things I haven't been able to do in so long. I'm less then 10#s from the lowest I've been in 7 years!! I start to slip maybe don't pay as close attention to ALL my calories!! Well not this time I'm not going back. I finally trust myself. Even when I slip and even when I slide. I'm still tracking. I'm still watching. I'm not letting go. I won't lose control. The battle is already won! I just have just stay on the road. I'm doing it!! I have to!!!

How long does it take?

Me and hubby went to our most favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner!! I was so excited. It is hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants in the world!! Ok well I haven't been around the world but I have been across quite a bit of the u.s. so the waiter basically fixed our plates. I ate a spring roll first. My brain still thinks I can eat as much as I used to! But if course I can't nor do I want to! I added some white rice which I could hardly eat any of it. (The white rice). I should not have ordered a spring roll because I can't eat that much any more but I still don't realize it. I get full so much faster then I used to!! I'm finally feeling so much more confidant of how I'm going to finish this journey eventually. I'm not in a rush. I'm taking it one day at a time. Every time I eat more then I should I think ok here it comes tomorrow I won't be able to do it again. In the past I would slack off for a day and then it turned into 2 days. And so on!! Next thing you know 20#. But this time I'm different!! But everyday I am motivated I get right back on track. Some days are harder then others but over all I have to say this has been the easiest 54 # I have ever lost!! Just wondering how long it takes for my brain to catch up with my stomach?? Loving and finally living life again!

I got the most amazing news today!!!

I am beyond excited!! I had my 3 month check up yesterday. I am a type 2 diabetic. I was diagnosed in 2005 I am on oral medication. 2 or 3 years ago I had to increase my meds because my diet was not good which caused my level to go way up. Anyways so the good news is they called me today and said my blood test was so good they told me to stop taking my meds and check my sugar for the next week 2x a day and if all stays good I'm done!! Hallelujah Praise the Lord!! I was shocked!! Changing my diet and losing 54 lbs has changed my life!! And it's only going to get better and better!!

I'm here! Still here!

There has been a lot going on for the past few weeks! Birthdays, Kenzie had to have dental surgery and finally the trip to the mountains!! It was so good to get away! I have still been counting calories I haven't walked for 2 weeks! I really need to get back into that for sure! I have only lost 2 lbs in the past 2 weeks but at least I'm still at it! I have had so many medical test in the last few months as well as 2 different biopsy's so far everything is good! I am going to keep on going and make things different this time!
