Ok, so I was suppose to start the 5-day pouch test but I can't seem to get my act together enough in able to get my food together. It is so much work.

I plan on starting the 5 day pouch test.  I am not looking forward to it, but I need to get this back on track and get rid of my sweet tooth. So I will start on Monday.

Ok, so I have been off of track!  I need to focus on myself again.
Goal 1-protein, protein, protein!
Goal 2- water everyday!
Goal 3- walk at least 3 times a week!

Well I have been going through some problems in the past 3 weeks.  My neck started swelling and becoming veru painful.  I was not able to raise my voice which is essential in being a teacher.  It just got worse every day.  I was feverish, in pain, very fatigued, shakey.  So anyway I found out I have Hyperthyroiditis.  So they gave me some pain pills, a steroid shot and sent me home. 

I know it has been awhile since I updated my blog, but it has been so busy at work.  I finally found out why I have been soooo tired!  I had my labs done last week and a few things popped up. 1) I am very low on calcium and my doc wants me to start taking 2000 a day plus vit D.  2) I am low on vit B12 and I will start getting a shot every month for a while.  I had one yesterday and I really feel the difference in my energy.  3) My doc is worried about my thyroid.  He tooks some blood to find out the levels.  I hope this is a easy solution to a potential problem.
 
The good thing is I have started to lose again.  I took advice from my best friend and started back on only protein and up the water intake.  Wish me luck!

Ok, I am having a stall.  I have been stuck at 231 for 3+ weeks now.  I am going to try to refocus and get in my protein and water.  I need t ostart to exercise. Yes I said start, I have not been exercising, I come up with every excuse in the book.  I got a bike for Christmas so I will try to ride it at least 3 times a week.  Then maybe get in some toning a couple times a week.  I know I would feel better if I get my exercise in. 

I have lost 46 lbs and I feel wonderful.  I see myself smiling more when I look in the mirror.  My clothes fit great, my new size (for now) is 1x from a tight 3x.  I am sure I could probably get into a XL.  My pants are probably a 18 but I still haven't bought any pants because I am waiting and too cheap to get to a size I will stay for a bit.  

The only problem I have had is NOT drinking during my meals.  I just get so thirsty!  Other than that I eat pretty much anything I need, not want. I dump be time on sugar and anything high in carbohydrates.  But I am still very happy!

I haven't posted in a while, I have been so busy.  I have lost 41lb in 3 months and feel fabulous!  Sometimes I just can't believe I am losing weight.  My biggest problem right now is finding clothes that fit me!  I am used to having this problem but it is usually becasue they are too small, now they are all too big!  I love it!  I am just trying to hold out for Christmas, becasue I am sure my family will be giving me clothes or gift certificates.  So baggy clothes it is for another 2 weeks.  Poor me!

I was hungry and instead of waiting for the fish to defrost I decided I would have a little peanut butter (protien) and a little 1 % milk.  Not even 15 mninute later I was clammy, sweating, felt sick to my stomach, tired.  I will not be eating peanut butter for a while!
