Hard to believe it has been a month already.  Things have been so hectic around here.  Hubby had two deaths in his family and then I caught some kind of stomach bug...way not cool.  Thankfully things are better now.  I don't feel hungry a good bit of the time, so some days it is a struggle to get all my protein in and somedays it just doesn't happen.  syntha 6 from GNC has been my life line lately, but I am so getting burned out on chocolate anything!

I bagged up a bunch of clothes yesterday that are too big.  It was exciting, but my brain still wanted to store them in case i needed them later.  I see the numbers dropping on the scale but still hard for me to see the difference everyone else is seeing.  I guess that will come with time. 

I did get back into an old swimsuit I found in my close...That really tickled me!  I haven't been in the pool near as much as I would like...it hs been too chilly and rainy.  Some days I really really miss my Celebrex!!  All tthe rain has about kicked my butt without any NSAIDS.  My arthritis has been flared pretty good here lately, but I try and keep plugging along.  Ortho says when he is sure my sugars will stay normal we will look at doing a steroid injection in my hips again...YAY for steroids!  for a short time I feel like wonder woman!  I knew my pain wouldn't be completely better with the weight loss, but it helps and besides, the days it gets really bad and I can't walk, then I will be lighter for hubby to carry me.  It's like a 2 for 1 deal...I lose weight and save both of our backs!!

Life is good and even the crummy days could be worse.
