Just like it sounds! How more precise do you want me to be? |

I'm determined to get back on track with my diet and exercise program. I've been screwing off for too long and ended up gaining back about 20 pounds that I had previously lost. I know what works for me and what doesn't, it's just hard sometimes to do what I know I need to do. I am diabetic and also have arthritis, fibromyalgia, and carpal tunnel as well as some psychiatric disorders. The combination of these health problems limits me to what kinds of exercise I can physically do. Also, I have to watch my carbs to keep my diabetes under control as well as to help me lose weight. The last time I was "being good" I went from 274 pounds down to 232 pounds in about 5 months. Now I'm back up around 250. Sigh. So, starting Monday, I am going to get my ass in gear and start working out every morning (M-F) at Curves as well as limiting my average daily carb intake to around 30 grams. I might be a little naughty on weekends, but during the week I will make myself behave. In this journal, each day, I will be listing what I've eaten, the carb content of the items eaten, as well as whether I worked out and any other exercise I've gotten. I will also post my weight and measurements, monthly. I am making this public in the hopes that it will force me to try harder so that I can show good results and to hopefully help other people who are struggling with their weight...you're not alone! For the record: A lot of people ask me, "If you eat a lot of burgers and eggs, doesn't your cholesterol go up?" The answer is, "No, not at all." The last time I had my cholesterol checked when I was living on burgers and eggs, for the most part, exercising regularly, and had also quit smoking, my cholesterol was 103. So...no, burgers and eggs do not raise cholesterol. I can say this for sure, from personal experience. Remember, what works for me may not work for you. Check with a doctor before starting a new exercise or diet program! |
