View KPEARSON's food & exercise for this day
Here I am again, restarting. I had a Dr. appointment this morning and found out that I'm back to 242 lbs! Now my diabetes Dr. said I would gain a little weight back, but I was down to 197 the first part of April and now I'm back to 242, only three months later. She told me not to be discouraged and that she has a plan. But how can you not be discourage by a 45 pound weight gain? 
So I renewed my membership, and I'm going to tackle this head on. I re-set my goals, activity planner, and have my husband's support 100%. I have already entered my food intake today and hope that moving forward I keep it up again. Looking into some ideas to improve my eating habits to help keep my blood sugar low in order to control my diabetes better. I have purchased a book called "Eat to Live" but never read it, so I'm going to start reading that. I'm also looking into the Keto diet. Friends and family have recommended it the last few years, so finally looking into that.
My biggest hurdle is exercising. I don't like it and I avoid it at all costs! I have four (4) dogs that I'm going to start walking, so I'm hoping that will help me to get motivated to at least walk. I need to find something that I like and stick with that. I love to dance but hate how my body looks since I'm so fat, it moves when I don't and it just looks awful. I know I'm not suppose to care but I do. Maybe that in by itself should be motivation?
Another hurdle is my job. It's very demanding of my time and I work a lot of overtime. It's also very stressful. I love what I do, just wish we weren't so busy. I mean it's like crazy busy! Haven't thought this one through yet, but will work on this. Being busy is better than being unemployed, so it's just a hard place to be.
I've set alarms on my phone for going for short mini walks, just to get me moving. Part of why I hate to exercise is because I have a desk job, don't move a lot and it hurts when I do. I know in my head that just moving with help with that over time, but it's pushing through the pain part that I'm having trouble with.
Well, I think I've written more than I wanted to but I just felt being honest with myself about everything is a good start. So we'll see where all of those goes.

I don't know about you, but once I get committed to exercise, other things fall in place. But find whatever gets you going...seems like you are thinking about it all though. And seriously, drink lots of water! Start out small and build from there!
