Back to school time, so I'm once again a working girl. It's one thing to eat right, drink water, take your supplements, exercise and track all of the above when you are home, your husband is self sufficient (mostly) and you are your #1 priority...I mean there is a little housework...but that doesn't take all day....anyway I've had a few disasters since I've been back to work. One day I forgot my breakfast, another it was late in the afternoon before I realized I hadn't had any water, forgot to take vitamins more than once and on my non gym days...I was really disappointed in my steps...in fact I've fallen from #12 to # 19 or 20 on my Fitbit leader-board. But even with all that monkey business, I've managed to continue to loose about a half a lb a day....it's slower but still good. I've lost a little over 35 lbs and earned this badge from Fitbit.
5 more lbs and I get my next Pandora bead. And I'm into all my size 16's now too....so I'm still making progress, and I'll get the hang of fitting all these pieces of my healthy life style into my work life.
The best news since the last post is that I got the results of my blood work back. My Cholesterol was 185; that is the first time in over 10 years that is has been below 200....in fact last check (before surgery) it was close to 285! Hemoglobin A1C was 5.6, completely out of diabetic range....and all the other stuff was normal (except B12 was a little high)....
So my first goals of getting off medicines and getting healthy...are accomplished...and I have about 45 lbs to go to get to goal weight. I feel great!
Wow, Kim! Congratulations. Great news everywhere. I understand on getting used to a routine going back to work. The drinking liquids wasn't so hard, but I would get busy and realize I hadn't eaten and then get behind on my protein. I know this is harder for you, but I would put something on my calendar to walk twice a day while at work or my steps were sad. We can do this though and we are! I'm so happy that things are going well!!
