Moving Forward

Well, I took a 361 day hiatus from logging my calories. It shows. I didn't gain any in pants sizes or shirt sizes. I'm still hanging on. However, I don't need to be fat forever.

I lost 20 pounds pretty easy last time. I've gained all that weight back. So I'm still behind. I do not desire to go and run as my husband did. I've had shin problems since I was 16 and in the last 16 years nothing has changed in that area. I'd go buy compression leg sleeves for this purpose but once I said something like that and got made fun of telling me that wouldn't work. I sold myself on the idea that I was just buying into something that wouldn't work.  Is that an excuse, yes, it is.

For now though I'm going to work on just becoming healthier. Today, I only have 17 calories left. That's because I ate breakfast and lunch before deciding to reactivate my accounts on my fitness pal and fit bit.

I've given up hope on becoming pregnant again. If I do get pregnant again, great. If I do not, I can accept that too. Anyway, this isn't a pity party here it is the truth. Either way I need to be healthier for the sake of my life and my families lives.

So I'm going for it. I don't like that I am only given 1320 calories a day. I will deal with it. Today what can I eat that only has 7 calories. Nothing so I will go over today. Hopefully not tomorrow.

Hey! Thanks for your comment yesterday. We have tried e-Meals in the past, but we didn't stick to it very well. Maybe I should give it a go again. Good luck in your calorie counting. I'm not good at keeping track my eating. I've been away from blogland for a while, have you been trying to conceive? Prayers are lifted for that situation.

Well now that I'm educated I think the compression sleeves would help your leg issues. :) For some reason though I thought you wanted them for your arms???? maybe I just didn't understand way back when you were talking about them.

So...... you and me, starting over. I have gained back 15 pounds and still had 10 to lose so I'm back to needing to lose 25. I haven't moved an ounce in the right direction in a year. Time to get serious. My problem is I keep snacking. And snacking. And snacking. Oh and Julios doesn't help much now does it.

I am planning on doing the gym on Mondays and Thursday mornings but if you want to go on other days just let me know. I think Emily wanted to start going around 4:30 because the kids club is open then and she can take Cadence. I just go and run though so I'm boring company. But sometimes just having someone go with you is motivation for me.

Kathy Marcum was telling me that Joy had to go on daily progesterone for over a year before she got pregnant. She had given up. Who knows maybe that will happen for you too, but no matter what you have two fantastic blessings that have a great mama. :)
