Feeling pissy
Well today I took the day off because I have an appointment with a shrink( part of the program). Not happy about it at all! I am doing all I can do not to cancel. For one...I am not into the counseling thing. I tried it years ago when Steve passed away because everyone told me I should....wasn't for me. I feel like if i want to talk that my friends are so awesome that i could go to any of them at anytime. I feel like i don't need a man with a fancy degree to tell me that i am fat and unhealthy and pick at my brain! I am ready to make the life change so leave me alone! Then to top it off....not just a 30 minute appointment....freaking 2 hours!! So! From 9:30 to 11:30 pray for my sanity ! I just wanna wrap presents clean my house and bake x mas cookies lol! Not happy here at all! merry Christmas everyone! ~K

Preparing
Hello Friends !
I have decided to blog a huge change in my life. I was skeptical at first because it is kind of embarrassing to admit but I have decided this could be a useful tool in my journey to WEIGHT LOSS !
About a month or so ago I went to the doctor for a routine physical. I had all the blood test taken and had some tests come back with some not so good news. To Start my thyroid is not functioning like it should be so I started immediately on some meds to fix that. I was a bit relieved to know that my tiredness all the time had a reason and there was light at the end of the tunnel for some new energy and maybe some new skin that didn't feel like sandpaper! Those were the 2 things I really noticed from a naughty thyroid! In addition to the thyroid, my blood sugar was a little higher than it should be and after a few more blood draws...yes , I have diabetes! I also have some elevated liver enzymes probably from the excess weight around my organs and have had high blood pressure and on meds since I was 23! This was indeed my wake up call to make some changes. After many chats with my doctor. He basically told me I needed to come in and get some meds set up for the diabetes OR....I can join his weight loss program and lose some weight and more than likely the diabetes will disappear! WELL, I have committed myself to the weight loss program . So far I have met with a dietitian and went to see a trainer and had a physical assessment to see what physical shape I am in and what would be tolerable. I think I did ok..wasn't falling off the treadmill screaming like some of those ladies on biggest loser BUT I am quite sore as well ! The next step for me is to go talk with a psychologist I guess. I am not too excited about that part but I guess it needs to be done. After I see him I will start the life change after the 1st of the year. My doctor didn't want to start me before Christmas as it will be hard in itself to begin let alone to have the holidays as an added stress and temptation and I completely agree! I am very excited but yet very nervous to begin. I am going on a very low calorie diet and along with that an exercise routine daily! My goal is to lose 70 pounds! I am not proud to admit that but I know I can do this....with this change in life...no out to dinners...no alcohol ! I am not a huge drinker but I like to go out once in awhile and have a few . I will miss that social part but I know getting healthy is much more important. So tonight I am going out with my husband for a few cocktails and a nice dinner ! Hope the snow storm stays away till we are done....So that is it. I am looking forward to 2011 and many changes! NO resolutions..just changes! Thanks for reading ! ~K
