I know it's been a while since I've posted. Nothing fertility wise has changed. Wait, I did get that I have to lose 75 pounds to try fertility measures again. BOO!
Anyways, it's a new year so I thought I would give weight watchers a try again. It worked before and with hard work and dedication, this can work again!
Why am I going to blog it everyday? I'm hoping that you as my friends will help hold me accountable. If it's been a few days since you saw a post. Message me. Ask me if I'm okay. Weight loss is not just a physical battle, but an emotional rollercoaster. I feel like I have so much on the line, that one pound can make or break me achieving my life long goal: to be a mother.
I did make some resolulations:
1. Get back on the weight watchers program
2. Fix my hair for work
3. Read our Bible before bed
4. Drink 64oz of water each day.
5. Take Metformin and STAY ON IT!
So let's get started with today.
I did NOT fix my hair. One resolution already broken. But hey, baby steps. I did pack all of my meals and snacks. It looked like I was about to hibernate. I had a huge WalMart bag full of groceries. My breakfast menu consisted of:
1 packet of instant brown suger & maple oatmeal
1 tsp of honey
1/2 c. of grapefruit in 100% natural juice
I felt pretty good about bfast. I usually don't eat so this actually felt good.
At 10:30, I had my morning snack. My morning snack was an Atkins Shake which tasted like crap, but with 15g of protein, this filled me up. I also ate an orange.
Since we were so tired yesterday, we didn't make it to WalMart. No worries, the cafeteria had grilled chicken and a stocked salad bar. It was delicious and hit the spot.
However, rabbit food doesn't stick to your bones for very long. By 3:00, I was hungry again. I bought these amazing multigrain crackers at Sam's and they were delicious. I also had a 1/2 c. of applesauce and a reduced fat sharp cheddar stick.
When I got off work, we ran to WalMart to finish getting groceries. We have a pretty good stock now. Did I mention we bought a deep freeze!? Super pumped! Anyways, we bought groceries and by that excerise of the mind and the body, we came home. I portioned out my grapes (18) out into 21 bags. By the time we were done, I was starving and ready for supper. I also had an almond sweet and salty bar. They are my fav and it's so hard to stop at one.
For dinner I had 6 oz of lean pork tenderloin, 1/2 c. of green beans seasoned with 1 Tbsp of light butter, garlic, sea salt and pepper, and 1 medium red potato with 2 Tspn of fat free sour cream. It was definetly worth the wait! Yum Yum Yum!!
For a dessert, I had 3/4 c. of Chobani chocolate vanilla bean yogurt. It was meh.
I didn't include points because my computer wanted to upgrade and it failed and then my phone wouldn't sync. Hopefully, I get this fixed for tomorrow. I do now that after my afternoon snack, I still had 32 points to use. I know I didn't get near that.
Right now, I'm taking it day by day and trying to come up with some great ideas. Today, my pallate was more than satified with a sweet, savory, and salty parts of the meals.
Tomorrow, might be a different story. You noticed one resolution is to take my medicine??? That means gut rot will be back....
So, don't wish me luck. It's going to take more than luck to get through this. Give me encouragement and tips and hold me accountable.
With Christ nothing is impossible. I just have to keep that in mind when my brother tells me to come over for pizza (which he did on purpose tonight)!
As always, keep us in your prayers! We can do this!
