When I started my quest to decrease my weight in excess of 35+ pounds last month, I focused only on two things:  controlling food portion and increasing my normal everyday activities (not exercising).  I did not want to overwhelm and discourage myself and I know that with me food control is the biggest obstacle to overcome.  Well this week I joined a fitness gym/club and I am now working out everyday.  I must say it really helps me to feel like I will get results quicker now not just the initial couple pounds of weightloss or a more gradual type.  I am very excited!! I will keep you posted of my progress.

That is just what I had yesterday… I have identified my main problem as over eating when I am PMESING!! Well it finally took over. Yesterday I ate MORE of everything and did not care that I wasn’t hungry I just wanted to TASTE everything!!  So I ate more than I should have of Chinese food, I had 4 chocolates (3 chocolate kisses 1, Dark chocolate hershey miniature) 10 crackers with peanut butter, a bowl of cereal and a sensible breakfast… Well all day today I have been tempted as well. I know if I can get past this I will lose some more weight if I don’t give in but let me tell you my brain justifies the urges!!

I am very excited and optimistic about getting this procedure done to my legs.  It is a method of injecting a chemical similiar to saline into each spider vein I have on my legs that should help them break down and disappear after a few treatments!  I hope it works as I don’t have large spider veins but just enough to keep me from showing my legs (one of my best features) from showing over the past 3 years.. So although I should probably be nervous I am actually looking forward to getting the process started.  I will need to wear extra tight stockings over the course of the next 10 days - the first night even to bed!  It will take 1-3 treatments at $300.00 a pop (each individual leg)  Only 1 treatment per month.  Well I will let you guys know how it turns out.  I am really excited between my goals to lose weight and get this treatment done.   Wish me luck!

I found out today that the cause of my discomfort was afterall a urinary tract infection.  I am glad it was that -just not so happy about all the blood.  The doctor said when your bladder is inflamed though that is when you have blood in your urine with UTIs… 

 I guess I will wait until this clears before I start my true workouts!  I can’t wait- I looked at a picture of myself today that my son took and I look all puffy in my arms and face.  The picture I have tied to my profile is when I weighed close to 150 so I was 10 pounds lighter…  I can’t wait to get to the gym and really start working this fat!

Hi everyone!  I have lost about 3 1/2 pounds this week just by changing my eating habits, and increasing my level of activity a bit!! Sounds pretty good right.  I was feeling good until Friday - when I felt like I had a kidney stone.  Only thing is I have had them before and this time there was more blood then ever and no constant cramping pain which usually accompanies stones.  I had terrible cramping at the onset of the  pain and when I urinated but then it went away.  Then I had blood and urination urgency now it all seems to be getting better.  That scares me because I don’t think I had a stone and I am not sure if it is an infection or not.  Plus I have this dull feeling in my stomach like it is getting knawed on.  I am eating so I  don’t think it is coming from that. I am going to the doctor’s tommorow and hope to feel better about this then… Well at least I am losing weight… Soon I will be in the 150’s YEA!!
