No, I didn't die but I there were times yesterday that I wished I could have left my body. Wow! this junk that is going around is awful. You don't really have any symptoms just a tickle in your throat and it will be a little sore, but it will put you down like a tranquilizer to a tiger. I went to the doctor and this time I think I was the worst looking thing sitting in the office. People were trying to avoid me, hehehe a taste of my own medicine. See it is true what goes around comes around. I couldn't blame them I didn't want to be around me either.
If anything good could come out of a doctors visit it really did. I got on the scale to find out I am a total of 8 pounds gone and dropped 1 point on my BMI. Hold on while I do a little celebration dance.
Ok. That done, now I know you are thinking, well she has been sick and not eating, HA you don't know me. When I am sick I eat more that when I am well. Mostly because I crave comfort food and it is a lot easier to snack or use the excuse of being sick to over eat. This crud coming on top of me just starting my diet made me determined not to start off sabotaging myself by letting it be an excuse for failure. I have stuck to my eating plan. Now I haven't been exercising, but the way I have felt I would have fallen off the bicycle. Plus did you know your body will burn calories when it is fighting off a virus? I know I will have to work really hard over the next little while to burn calories because the doctor gave me a steroid shot to boost things along. Those things will cause you to starve and bloat. So any little gain in weight over the next week I refuse to let get me down. As long as I eat right and exercise when the steroid leaves my body I should see a nice surprise.
I told you in the beginning I only have three years to get this weight off that has taken me almost 22 years to gain. I am going to renew my vows to my wonderful husband on our 25th anniversary in front of family and close friends. I only knew him 63 days before we got married and the ceremony was held at the courthouse. No family attended and there were only two other people there. It was nice and there were definitely memorable moments, but this time I want to marry him with a minister presiding and people I love to share it with us. The best incentive I know to keep going.
Yes, I did know I was gaining more weight than I wanted to have to carry around with me but nothing hits home like not being able to wear your wedding rings. It is easy to go out an buy a new pair of pants not so easy to pick up a new set of rings and mine cannot be stretched. I have worn them thin over all these years.
I hope you keep reading. Feel free to follow my blog or share. I also hope I am giving you a few smiles and maybe some inspiration. If I do then definitely share so it may do the same for someone else. I know my blog isn't like a lot of others that has a theme it follows. I write about random things. I'm just an everyday person, writing about my everyday life. I'm not looking to be on television or get a book deal. I just like connecting with people that go through the same things I do. Feel free to leave me comments and let me know what you think. :)
