So I’m kick starting my weight loss journey for the 13268574986462464th time this week. And for probably the 45321654th time in 2015.
I've had some eye opening experiences in the past few months. Idk if I ever posed here that i was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes back in August. I’ve since lost over 20 lbs but have been unable to really kick myself into gear. I started a job doing registration in the Emergency Department of one of the major Hospitals here in central IL. I can’t tell you how many diabetes/obesity related patients I’ve seen come through that ER since i started in mid December. I’ve had myself “scared straight” several times in that time. I’m really trying to get myself in the mindset once and for all to just do this and quit having to start over.
I recently purchased the new Nutribullet 900 series and have incorporated a daily smoothie into my world. Now i’m going to add to this. I've signed up for a service here in my home town that is ran by a nutritionist/personal trainer where her staff cooks up fresh heart healthy/diabetic friendly meals and delivers them to you. I've signed up for the 5 day lunch and dinner pack where i will have lunches and dinners for 5 days a week cooked up for me. The beauty is that they deliver twice a week, so you aren't getting all 5-7 days at once- so its always pretty fresh. i will be picking up my orders as its right near me and it will save me 10 bucks a week on the delivery fee. I’m pretty excited about it.
I've also started walking a few times a week I’m going to be upping this to 4-6 days a week and eventually i will start incorporating strength training and some running into the week. I’m feeling pretty motivated right now. My biggest goal is to get back off of my diabetes and high BP and cholesterol meds. i don’t want to be on those for the rest of my life. I really also just want to feel better over all. These past few months I have felt like a giant sloth. I’m looking forward to the onset of extra energy i’m expecting from all the healthy eating and moving I’m going to be doing! I hope to keep up with this blog on a regular basis as i really suck at keeping up blogs and vlogs!
Anyhoo….. Here we go again!! :) Hope everyone is doing well!
