So last night my husband looks at me and says, "well your face looks better- it looks more clear and youthful...MANNNN... it's like someone comin' off METH!" Uhhh...I think that was a compliment...??? TRANSLATION: You're still big as a house...but I am starting to see a flicker of improvement. Sadly, he's not far off. I feel like I am coming off Meth. The good news is the headaches have subsided. Most of the aches and pains are gone and my energy level is slowly coming back up. I'd say it took a good six days to a week for the "withdrawal" symptoms to stop. I've had fewer naggings for carbs. I still have them (I woke up today willing to kill for a bagel) but they are occurring here and there throughout the day, as opposed to, all day long with no relief. So that's the biggest thing I've noticed.
In other news, it's...."Weigh-in Tuesday!" I can say that rather enthusiastically because I have lost seven pounds. I'll take it! Actually, I'll more than take it considering in the last five years I've done twice the work and have lost only one pound or sometimes even gained weight. So I definitely feel like paying attention to the insulin issue was a wise move. I need to get my "fat" pictures up and running as there will already be a seven pound deficit from the "BEFORE" shot, but no worries, when you're nearly three-hundred pounds I doubt that's anything that will get noticed.
TIP OF THE DAY: If you too are trying to lose weight, may I make my first recommendation... NEVER EVER start a diet or lifestyle change on a Monday...it's just bad ju-ju! I have failed more diets that have started on a Monday than...insert clever remark here. So call it superstition, but I say don't be a fool! Mondays are the most depressing day of the week- weigh yourself on TUESDAY!
