Today was hard. I went back to the doctor today and she has put me on a statin (cholesterol lowering medicine). I was hoping we wouldn't have to go that route, but with my risk factors and cholesterol numbers combined she thought it would be better to jump in and treat instead of waiting to see. She did give me the appetite suppressant with it though, so that is good news. The appetite suppressant means no more days like today where I feel like I am starving all day long. It is horrible to feel like that. I know it is my fault for convincing my body the over intake of food is normal and I know that only I can fix it. I am so ready for this change!
Well the good news is I am down 2 pounds this week. I am now at 174! I know 2 pounds is not a whole lot but every pound counts. Its like saving money, every little bit helps and eventually you will have more than you ever thought. I am going to be taking my measurements at some point this week and I will post them when I do.
Off the weight loss train and on to the couponing lol. I think a friend and I will be making weekly trips to Publix (depending on the sales). This week will be the first week! I am hoping to score some really good deals at their sales! I will also be making a budget this week. I am hoping that by making a budget I can keep better track of our money and spending and end up saving some money! We will see how that works out.
Well it is after 9 o'clock and I am one wore out woman. I hope you all have a great night!
Two pounds is great! They say that 1-2 pounds a week is a healthy weight loss rate. Maybe reading ur blog will get me more motivated.
