So now the real work begins. As of this week I've cut out candy (including marshmallows!) and have devised a plan to gradually cut things out and exercise more. Thankfully I have not yet cut out ice-cream and let me tell you, I needed me some Chubby Hubby after that diagnosis!
Shockingly, I only managed to loose one pound. I figure at this rate I should be down to 125 by my 30th birthday in a little over two years. I'll be having a pool party, and wearing a bikini. On the exercise front I am having serious motivational issues. I've been getting in 2- 3 workouts a week. Not horrible but I don't think anyone is going to be calling asking me to be in an exercise video anytime soon. Hopefully I will be getting a call next week about an online weight lose team I am trying to get on. If that works out I'll be training for a spring race and blogging about it. More to come on that later. In the meantime I need spring and my running partner if I'm going to start working out seriously!
Well, I'M glad your blood work looked good. And don't worry, you'll find your workout/diet groove, and then you'll be striding.
ReplyDeleteYou could always just surround yourself with uglier friends.
Don't worry Shan! You're going to be great! You are the most motivated person I know! I'll be praying for you! I love you!
ReplyDeleteWell, your running partner is here! Any day (even if it is cold, and you think I will say no) just give me a call, and we will run. I miss running (okay, so I more just miss my QT/Therapy time with you and my looser fitting pants...) and can't wait for winter to be OVER!!! Bring on the Spring race! :) ...yes, all that was said in my "chipper" voice.
ReplyDeleteI still think photos of my aunts and uncle and brother (me too) will give you all the moviation you need.
