5 Weeks Out *sigh*
Nov 04, 2010
Hey OH,So I'm 5 weeks out today. I've been at this stall for over 2 weeks now tethering between 240 and 241. Even if I got to 239 I'd be ecstatic. I've been on my period this week and I know that's why I'm not losing but what about last week? I've picked up my workout. I started a spin class for 15 minutes and line dancing aerobics for 45 minutes 3 days a week. On the other days I walk. I was seriously considering starting the Couch to 5K plan. What I haven't done was eat more. I know for a fact that I don't eat enough. I read that if you eat the wrong foods (which I'm scared to do) or eat more, your body will kick back into gear and start shedding the pounds again. So today in addition to my healthy breakfast and lunch, I brought some tortilla chips and salsa. I plan to snack on those throughout the day. I didn't bring any protein snacks like I had been doing all the other days.
My finances are getting so tight since I was out of work for 3 weeks and its starting to stress me a little. I've had to borrow money from 2 people to pay my bills. Luckily they understand my situation and are allowing me to pay them back in small increments. I know it'll all work itself out but honestly sometimes I still worry.
My ex-husband and I had a very in-depth conversation this week. For the umpteenth time, I told him that I don't want to be with him. That he isn't the man for me because he's in the same position he was in when we divorced. He lies, cheats, doesn't have a steady job and doesn't spend nearly enough time with the boys as he should. He admitted that he was an asshole and doesn't do enough but wants us to work on him together because he can't do it alone. HUH?!?!? Um, that would be a NO! I have 2 boys to raise. I have a full time job, I'm a full time student, I have a freaking mortgage, car note and tons of other bills. I don't have time to help you become a MAN. So anyways, we have child support court next week and he already told me that he wouldn't go because he knows that they're going to arrest him and he's scared to go to jail. Whatever dude. Anyways, I could go on and on about this man but that would take writing a damn book. LOL
My best friend found out that she has type 2 diabetes. She weighs over 400 lbs. She can't have WLS because she doesn't have insurance. She also has fibroids as well. Her mom just started her own WLS journey. Maybe one day my best friend will have WLS once she gets the insurance. I would love to see her get rid of all that medicine she's taking.
Thanks for sharing my journey!
Until next time.....
