New Year, New Me: UPDATE!!

Okay, so there have been some great things to report for all my readers (lol). I've been getting up religiously at 5:30 every morning (except on weekends) and working out with my Wii Fit. I haven't had a drop of regular soda since January 5th and have only had five servings of diet soda since then. I've been drinking mostly water, and then skim milk. Haven't had any candy or sweets either. :)

In addition to that, I joined Weight Watchers. I am doing it online because none of the meetings around me worked with my schedule. I like being able to do everything from home and with my computer. Anyway, I did my weekly weigh-in yesterday and so far I've lost 17.8 pounds! I am so proud of myself!!

I know that there's not one thing to attribute the weight-loss to, but I think the Metformin is definitely helping. I can also say that since starting Metformin my morning temperatures have been stable and not so up and down like they have been for the last six months.

So... that's the latest and greatest.
Until next time...

New Year, New Me!

Today begins the first day of a new lifestyle change for me. I don't have any regrets, I had my last regular Mt. Dew last night and enjoyed my last taste of real ranch with cheese sticks. Not healthy I know, but call it my last supper. LOL.

This morning I got up at 5:30 and drank a HUGE glass of water while exercising with my Wii Fit. I worked out for 35 minutes and did some yoga, some jogging, some hula-hooping and played a little soccer. I even did two rounds of step class. :)

After that I actually sat down and had breakfast! A first! I am keeping a food journal and writing down everything that I eat and I'm making a conscious effort to watch what I am eating. I made my lunch, got in the shower and now I'm getting ready to leave for work. All before 7am!

Some might be asking what brought about this new frame of mind, and some might just assume it's a New Year's Resolution. Well... it's actually due to realizing that I want to become a mother and whether it's through physically getting pregnant and carrying a baby, or adoption, I need to be healthy for that. I am only 32 and I need to lose weight for me. I need to be around and be healthy to enjoy my life with Steve and all that he brings to my life. I don't want to feel bad, or uncomfortable and I don't want to be held back or not do things because I feel too fat to do it.

So... on a positive note, today is the last day that I'll ever weigh what I do, and the first of many days to come of me feeling great. Now I just hope my day at work is as great as my morning has been!!

Until next time...
