Once again everyone, I have to ask for forgiveness for not being timely on my updates. I admit, I have been trifling. Please forgive me y'all!!
Thank God that I am seeing progress. I stepped on the scale today at the doctor's office and 414 lbs. was recorded!!!! We are -13 lbs already and I have made my monthly goal already!!!!! God is truly good.
The Good: 1) I am doing well with portion size and time of eating.
2) I am being very consistent with my water intake.
3) I have kept the junk to a minimum.
4) I am starting to get into a groove with my workouts. More on that in a minute.
Need to Keep Working On: 1) My workouts and bringing more intensity to the table. My workouts have been really cool as of late and I thank God for bring in the 5AM crew at the gym in my life. This group of folk, which I am the youngest of the bunch, really push and encourage me as I workout. It is really cool. I have started to play basketball with these guys and I have found my shooting stroke. Now I have to find my stamina. I am going to take the advice of one of the group members and concentrate my running to basketball. (I do want to play pick up again.) Now I just have to keep bringing it. Also, I am adding more movements in my weight work.
2) Continue to watch what I eat, but I need to EAT as well. I am finding that being on this journey as a diabetic is not easy because my body is expecting something that it has been getting for so long and now it is not. I guess I am a food junkie that is going through withdrawals. Thing of it is, it sometimes throw my body in a tailspin. So I have to concentrate on keeping nutrients in me; whether it is fruit, a salad, something. Right now, eating is not my life, I am eating to live.
3) Keep check on calories. Stay true to my 2500 calorie a day limit.
4) Keep water intake up. I had a diet coke on Sunday and it was horrible. I may never go back to sodas. I think I am done.
Well, that is enough from me. Please keep praying for me and I will improve on my updates. Much love to everyone.
