The Latest :-)

May 02, 2013

I haven't lost anymore weight.  If I stay as I am, I'm fine with it, but again, I expect some to come off soon.  I'm much more consistent on my workout now that the weather has changed.  Also, my 2 mile walk/slow jog has started to become less of a challenge.  I'm in the process of ramping it up to 5 miles :-)

Sometimes I wake up choking...that's a sign that I ate too late, and tried to lay down to sleep to soon after that last meal...or, I drank too late.

I am able to tolerate most pretty much anything that I want to eat.  I do watch it, and I am mindful of protein.  I eat Atkins breakfast bowls in the morning, that's like 22, 23 grams of protein.  I have 2 greek yogurts as snacks.  Those are 11 grams of protein each.  Then I have lunch and dinner in there somewhere, with the main component of each meal being protein (I eat lots of chicken, but I eat all kinds of meat).

I've finally gotten my vitamins down.  The calcium was just the hardest thing for me, but I have a liquid calcium supplement that I take twice a day.  I have no problem with the vitamin b injections, or the chewy multivites, or the iron tablet that I take each day.  It's a matter of routine, and it really doesn't feel like I'm popping pills all day like it did in the beginning.

I take my B injection on the first of every month, just so I can remember to take it.  I have noticed that I get really tired, and my brain gets kinda foggy just before I take it.  Then I take it, and I go back to being fine.

Still no problems with the skin.  Boobs are a lil lower than I'd like, but not too bad.  I hope to firm the thighs up some more with my increased leg workouts.  We'll see what happens.

I cut my hair short.  I think I'll dye it red this weekend...Ive never dyed my hair before, so that's exciting.  I've been dating (actually kinda put a halt to dating until this summer.  Feeling like I need some me time).  I've been out and about around town much more.  I've discovered that I really enjoy dancing.  Took Salsa dancing classes with a girlfriend, then went salsa dancing. 

Some of my increased social activities can be attributed to the fact that my kid just turned 18, graduates high school in a couple weeks, and is going into the military.  I've had lots more time to just focus on me, and do whatever I want to do.

Soooo, it's a sad (because my baby's growing up and leaving me), but exciting (because I'm moving into a new phase in my life) time.

Life is great :-)
