OMG! I couldn't stop eating last night. I WAS STARVING! I kept trying to at least keep my eating choices healthy but OMG, I was crazy hungry. COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY CALORIE TARGET!!!!
Going from eating 4,000 calories a day down to 1,500 is super hard. 
So my friend suggested, set your goals to eat less in increments until I get down to the 1,500, a little at a time, so I don't feel like I'm starving. Shrink that stomach slowly until I won't feel like I'm starving when I eat less. T...

Dave and I went grocery shopping last night, and purchased all the right things to eat. Not a single unhealthy item was bought. I'm so proud of myself. I even bought the reduced fat Mayo!

So frustrating.Anyways, I did log everything I ate yesterday, and even though I busted my daily target for calories, I still ate 1/2 of what I use to eat. SO I consider that a small victory! Proud of myself! Once we go shopping, it will be way easier f...
Rough Start But Trying Hard!!
Monday, October 7th 2013
Having a hard time starting but keeping at it. I keep trying to do the right thing, eat right, and well exercising is.... just difficult for me. I drive an hour each way to work, then work a 10 hour day, so I'm tired when I get home. Due to the long day, makes it difficult to cook a healthy meal.So since I don't want to make excuses, I developed a plan to cook healthy meals and prepare lunches on the weekends when I do have time. Dave, my fiance, has agreed to help me and he's also goi...

Well, here I am, exactly where my family said I would be. Had a doctor's appointment yesterday, not good news. My kidneys are damaged from lack of taking care of my diabetes. Seeing some specialists next week to determine the extent of the damage and if it's correctable or not.So here I am. Going to stop making excuses, going to correct the damage I've done to myself and do this for real this time. Feeling pretty beat up right now but for good reason. I know my family cares about m...
