Yes!!! That's right 8 days into my weight loss and I have lost a whopping 13 pounds. I was so happy I almost cried. My doctor said, " holy cow woman ! You are rocking". I was so excited! All this hard work is paying off! I don't expect to lose that much every week. The initial first couple of weeks it comes off the easiest!
By no means has this last week been easy! I made it through my husband cooking fried onions and burgers on Saturday and all those smells..Kelly decided to make cookies the other day and it was the smell that stuck in my head and kinda bit a little! The shakes I need to drink are kinda gross. The vanilla ones are just nasty to me. My doctor told me to mix the shake up like normal and add diet orange slice pop or diet root beer and he swears that is good. So I will be trying that next. I do like the berry yogurt smoothies though so I am sure those will get me through.
Along with being faithful to my lap swim, I have ventured out with my friend Sally and tried a step class..wow..am I ever a klutz. Just when I got the hang of a step motion..she would go on to a more difficult step lol. I was pretty pooped out when I got home and sore! We did some stretches as well. I will welcome the pool this evening! We also dusted off the wii fit the other day..that is pretty fun too!
Well on to my next week. I will return to the doc next Wednesday. So till then..back to the grind!
Again, many thanks to all my friends and cheerleaders! It certainly does help keep me motivated! Kicking this diabetes's a$$ to the curb folks!
