I am embarrassed to say that my blogging skills are lacking---I read other people's blogs all the time and am inspired by them. My situation this summer has been extremely discouraging. Although I hate math I think I am a numbers person--like how much do I weigh, how many calories is that?, etc.. etc... SO after the wedding bust of gaining weight back to my starting weight of 238 lbs. I was so discouraged that I just about quit everything. After lots of personal struggle I have decided to try things again. Throughout this past month I am refusing to weigh in except once a month. It is just overwhelming how much I have to lose. So today is the 28th and I weighed in at 224 lbs. I have really just concentrated on three things--MORE water than I can ever imagine drinking at school because I spent time living in the potty (but I'll figure that out by fall) Second--NO sugar--I mean none--I got really bad headaches at first but I have done really well the last two weeks. Third- Exercise everyday. That's it and so far it is working to help me shed some pounds and get more healthy.
I have also totally de-junked my house. I have a full crawl space under my house that has been cleaned out and all the bedrooms but mine. We have hauled off 40 trash bags and two completely full van loads of stuff to the D.I. I want to put my house up for sell in August and I think we will reach that goal. Just getting things better organized and cleaned up has helped me sleep better at night. I fight fatigue all day with Fibromyalia but the meds seem to help some. Still it is the one thing I wish I could change is how incredibly tired I am all the time. This has been a great summer of personal discovery for me. Lot's of time to think and plan.
Had fun going to Logan, Utah and Bear Lake with my son--definitely the high point of my summer vacation so far.
