A little bit of insight...

Ok, So I went in today and got to see Dr. Shurtlef again. It was good! It also sucked because even with the counting calories and excercising, I only lost 2 pounds! Ok, so my earlier excitement of thing I had lost a bunch of wieght was swiftly shot in the ass and quickly deflated!

So the moral of this story is...

ONLY WEIGH ON ONE SCALE!!!! Or two actually, the one with your doctor and the one at the gym because they can vary!

So Dr. Shurtleff did tell me he was very proud of me and the fact that I actually lost weight over the Thanksgiving weekend. He said most patients are lucky to maintain because all those holiday treats are hard to resist! AND THEY ARE FOR ME TOO!!!

I told him I had a couple of breakdowns where I had indulged in candy, BUT I was still excercising and NOT DRINKING DIET COKE!!!

He said he was proud of me! YEAH!!

I must also say that even though I broke down and ate that candy, it was like a handful of M & M's instead of the whole 2lbs bag. (yes, I have done that before!) Also when I did do these things, I made myself work extra on my treadmill!

It is coming, I know it is. I had Carl, Jenn, and Christine tell me that they can see it in my face that I am losing weight. I am so glad, I want this SSSSOOOO bad! I really am trying so hard to be good with how I eat and excercise. It is hard but like I told Carl last night,

NO PAIN, NO GAIN...RIGHT?

Ok so to prove how serious I am about doing this, check out my knuckles! This is from using the punching bag. AND YES, I HAD MY KNUCKLES WRAPPED!!! I was seriously trying to hit that hard! THANKS CARL FOR KICKING MY BUTT INTO SHAPE!!!These are my knuckles after last night's bout with the punching bag! I know they are kinda gross! BUT WORTH IT!!!
