I'm officially de-blogized
Apr 03, 2008
Well, I've gone and done it. I've become an online member of the internet community. Let me just let you know that I've never "blogged" before so its now official, I've been devirginized. I just want to let everyone know that its thanks to my friend KristaC that I've finally gone and taken this first step. She sent me an email telling me she just met her 100 lb loss goal. My mouth dropped and I started tearing because I was just sooooo happy for her. It's funny how you can feel an affinity towards someone that you don't really interact with on a daily or personal basis. Her pain is my pain. Her happiness is my inspiration.
I'm 41 years old, mother of 4 and my body has finally said to me .. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I just got the results of my physical exam and aside for a vitamin B12 deficiency, I'm supposedly healthy. No high blood pressure, no cholestrol, no diabetes... nada...zilch. So why is it that I feel so bad. I'm in pain, out of breath, constant headaches etc.. etc... My back hurts so much that there are times that I have to spend it in bed because I can't move. My nerve on my left leg behind my knee gets so painful. I live with daily migraines. My asthma has returned full force. My hair is soooooo thin I just don't know what to do with it. and here is the woozy. Now the heel on my right foot has been in agony for the past two weeks. Oh, did I mention my varicose veins and how painful and swollen they get if I'm on my feet for more than an hour? Yet I'm given a clean bill of health. No wonder the USA is home to so many obese ppl.
Enough whining. I know what I have to do. I need to lose weight and watch all these problems disappear. Ok so how do I do this. Hmmm.... there's got to be a formula right. Just exercise and eat right, that's what we all hear. Well folks let me let you in on a little secret. IT'S NOT THAT EASY! Ya I had to yell that one out. So, I've decided to try this. I'm going to blog, look into surgery options and continue doing what I've been doing on and off for years.. being careful with what I eat (my 3 daily goals). I don't think I eat a lot its just that I love my sweets and I'm not consistent with watching what I eat. So maybe blogging will help.
I've decided to always end my blog with what I've done up until that point towards my 3 daily goals.
Breakfast: Small bowl of Special K Protein mixed with Special K regular, Organic 2% milk and a banana
Lunch: Lean Cuisine frozen entree - Chicken something or other and a cup of water
Dinner: - not sure yet its only 3:20 and I'm not hungry yet but I do know that I eventually have to feed my son.
Exercise: Hmm... I did walk the dogs twice today for about 15 minutes each walk. But I strolled very slowly. No heart rate happening here. I can barely walk with my heel pain as it is. Oh did I mention the killer migraine I have right now. Ugh.
Looking into surgery: signing on as a member is what I consider my first steps... I'll do this slowly. Until next time folks. Over and Out.
