26 lbs lost so far

I have a looong way to go but I am so happy to say that I have lost 26 lbs! I can feel it in my clothes, but not much else. I just need to keep my motivation going It can be so hard sometimes. I know this is a shocker, but I LOVE food. My illpower can diminish when I see a piece of pizza or anything and everything that is chocolate..well except dark chocolate disgusting!). I am hitting that point now and although I have been losing I know that I don't have my whole heart in it like I did last time. I realized that last time I made posts about all my goals and updates. I know I need to do that again. So I decided to make a few goals nd post why I am losing the weight.

Goals

1. To lose 5 lbs by August 5th

2 to find some kind of exercise that I can comfortably do with my heal spurs. I guess I haven't wrote about that. Well over the last year I have had foot ain that started tolerable, but annoying and ha become excrutiating. Getting out of bed,exercise or walking for long periods of time just kill them and tehy can hurt for days from it. It got so bad that they hurt all the time now, bu getting up from sitting kills. Well one morning my sweet Peyton ( who has been having toruble sleeping through the night lately) woke up for the 5th time at 6 am. My feet hurt so bad I yelp. I tried to walk to his crib. I pretty much was planning on crawling to his crib. Mike woke up and made me get back in bed and he tended to Peyton (I love him!). Then told me that I better make a Dr appt tomorrow. He had been begging me to for so long. I figured it as my weight and as I lost weight it would get better. WRONG! It ahs gottenworse since I have been losing weight. I finally went to the Dr. and she was 95% sure it was heel spurs. A hel spur is when a calcium build-up attaches to the arcand heel. and it hurts like a son of a gun! Well I had X-rays, blood work. The DR never called back. I called once and she was out (day off) another Dr called and said she would call me on monday. She didn't. She gave me a strong NSAID for the pain and it helps, but doesn't take all the pain away. I don't want to take pain killers all my life, I want to get rid of the problem. So I will be calling her again tomorrow. Anyways so exercising has been difficult.

3. To write down all my points and not just track them in my head.
4. More fruits and vegges and less diet coke
5 way more water

Those are simple goals for now.


My reasons for losing weight are

1. For me. I do no feel like me right now. I used to love hiking and biking and all. I love clothes an dlooking nice.

2. To lower my risk of diabetes

3. For my family. I miss playing on the playground with my kid and being teh fun active mom I was 2 years ago. To look good for Mike too.

Those are the most important goals right now.

I hope in a few months I can have nother 25 lbs lost!!

here is a pic in Dec and one from last week. Now you can't completely compare because one is a head shot, but you can atleast tell in my face.
