Day 11: Update Finally!

Okay I know I have been slacking for the last five days to update, but I don't know what to type about half the time. I've been working out and eating right. But last night I failed miserably, I ended up eating 4 pieces of pizza....  my 4th and last piece I ate at like 12 o'clock in the AM. I can't beat myself up over it though, set backs will happen, but I have to accept them and move on.

I didn't update about last weeks doctor appointment, she ended up prescribing me this weight loss pill called Phentermine. I wanted to go the healthy way of losing the weight with a supplement. And not just go out and buy some random weight loss pill that I really knew nothing about and how it would effect ME.  


She ran a bunch of lab work and checked my thyroid, and everything. Turns out I may have a thyroid problem that may be keeping me from losing the weight. My next doctor appoint is in February, we will then see if I need a stronger dose and what my blood works looks like then as well. 




I know I don't want to lose the weight super fast and it had been over a course of 11 days now. So I'm guess this is a good start, so it really hasn't been just 4 days but it wasn't until recently I began to see a difference in my weight on the scale. So now I have a new recorded chart for my weight and pictures as well! 

Current weight as of Jan. 18, 2011 is 169.5

Even though posting pictures of my weight really does embarrass me, it's only to fuel me more about losing this weight for good and keeping it off. Before I ever started having babies, I was always pretty fit, I was very active, and though sometimes my weight did vary, I still managed to stay pretty small. 


It's like having babies and all the added stress just makes it 100 times more harder to actually lose the weight. I am also a stress eater, and then again I also eat when I'm bored. All of those habits are horrible, but I'm lucky that I can actually stop and remind myself, that instead of grabbing some unhealthy over-processed foods, instead opt for fruits and veggies.


I even made a less fattening dressing that I can put on my salads, chicken, and fish, as well as some meat. It doesn't have salt or sugars in it that normal dressings do. I'm feel a lot better about myself, I'm getting up earlier, I feel energized, and people are even making remarks about how much more happier I am.
