4.5.09life is good. lets start with i'm down 88 pounds and it really has been relatively easy. i've had not one complication (knocking on wood) and not that this good i don't exercise. i've yet to get my appetite back. i have pretty much the same routine, up at 8:30, my chai tea, a protein breakfast (usually greek yogurt with fruit) at 11:30, some high protein for lunch around 2:30 dinner around 6 ish and then a gold fish while i read in bed. now some where in there i'll also have carb type snack. oh and dinner with be a chicken breast with a few veggies (same for lunch). my diabetes is GONE!!!!! no meds no nothing... the only thing that i still deal with is migraines, but you know what, that is just fine.
my brain still hasn't caught up with my size, i'm somewhere between a 10 and 12 pant, tops are small medium. i don't have any spring clothes, i just tried on some great jjill skirts that i had from last year (large) they aren't going to work, darn it...i really like these. oh well. but when it comes to me realizing that i'm a lot smaller i'm still not there yet. and when i see people who haven't seen me for awhile i totally forget and they are shocked when they see me and i forget why. but again, if that is the worse that there is....
i want to start walking again but i just haven't made it a priority...oh the ALWAYS cold thing is my biggest complaint about the whole thing. i just can't get warm and this winter was a bad one. i'm seriously realizing that if this is a forever thing i'm going to have to move to a warmer climate one day. i find the cold actually painful.
i'm not on the boards at all. i find that kind of sad, i loved these boards, but i couldn't find the time and then with being gone for so long i feel i don't know the people anymore. but it is a great place and got me through roughest time. i'm very grateful.
my daughter took some new pictures of me, i'll try to update my profile
