On My Way
A few posts back I wrote about how I had some health issues that were being checked by my doctor. Well I had all the tests done, and they were horrible tests, but thank God I don’t have endometrial cancer. That was one major scare. I do however, have diabetes. That is equally scary, but more controllable. My doctor told me like it was, I have to lose a total of 85 lbs. to be healthy. He gave me one month to start making some changes and to lose 20 lbs. to begin my complete weight loss. He recommended the South Beach Diet, which is working pretty good. I also have to workout for about an hour five days a week. I cut out all dark drinks and breads. I’m trying to cut as many carbs as I possibly can. The hardest part for me has been feeling hungry at night because I’m eating my last meal earlier, then having only a smaller snack about an hour and half later. My family is being very supportive. Everyone is making a few changes in their diets. So on Friday morning I weighed myself and I had lost 6 pounds. I am so excited. I know that I can do this and control the way I eat. I definitely do not want to be sick and miss out on everything my very active daughters want to do. Please pray for me because I do need the strength to continue everyday. I will update as often as I can. Until we meet again!
