The ever-expanding me…..
Well, as far as doing what I have set out to, it’s been a good several days since I last got to write. As far as getting closer to my goals….. ugh!
I’m starting to finally realize that I probably can’t combat the weight gain from my medicines. I keep reminding myself that even if I am gaining even more weight, I’m still improving my health.
It’s really discouraging to follow a hard diet and work out five days a week when I’m still gaining. My buddy that I work out with is dropping weight like crazy, and I’m still just getting fatter and fatter. The thing is I am doing everything she is. Plus, I’m working out at night with my husband, too. Granted what I do at home isn’t real intense - mostly crunches and jumping roping. But, jeeze……
Anywho, that’s my pout for the week.
I am going to keep following my diet, and I am going to keep working out. I’ excited that I have gotten my mindset right about working out.
My puppy had to spend the night in the animal hospital sunday night. (She got poisoned somehow????) I was worried sick about her. I called them so much they knew my number. They’d answer the phone and go "Yes, honey your baby is okay."
But - that’s not related to this blog. My point is this - Monday, I couldn’t go to the gym because I had to drive to a town about an hour away (yes I live in the country!) to pick her up. It made me all fidgety because I didn’t get to work out. I like that I have finally set my mind that I cannot miss workouts.
Now, I just have to keep hanging on, even though I’m getting fatter and fatter. I get to get off of this medicine in a little over two months. I know that when I come off of it, I will be able to lose the weight. I will already have my lifestyle set. So, no matter how discouraged, I am still going to carry my fat self to the gym, and I am not going to stuff my face with cake!
Whew —– hope everything is going great for eveyone!

Just keep doing your thing girl! When you finally get off the meds your weight will literally start melting off. I used to be on prednisone and gained major water weight. It sucks, so I can identify with you. You’re in a good place mentally, make sure you body follows.
Hope your puppy is doing much better!
