Kim’s Journey to a Healthier Place

I could come with so many excuses. Here’s just a few…. new meds = sleepless nights = insanely grumpy moods = emotional eating. That’s what’s been up with me for the past 4-5 days. Sooooo not good. I haven’t been this far off track since before I started WW back in June. I’m not going to dwell on it, but I need to readjust some of my goals for the week.

Starting today (it’s been great so far) I’m focusing on what I eat. I tried to conquer eating and working out, but if you know a little about me, I have to take one step at a time. Working on both wasn’t working, just frustrating me and giving me more opportunities to fail. We’ll try adding the working out goals back next week. I need just one thing this week to focus on… food.

I’ve got to get my head back in weight loss mode. Recent health challenges have made losing more weight very difficult. Between Dr.’s making me maintain and now this new med that makes me retain fluids and keeps me from sleeping well, I need to work harder and more diligently. I know I can do this. I think I wasn’t taking into account my new challenges. I don’t want to lose control again, because to me that’s the worse feeling. This morning I hopped on the scale and it was 163 lbs! Yikes! Worse than that, my shirt and pants feel snug. That’s a feeling I really hate.

On a good note, I went out of town for a family reunion this weekend to see family I haven’t seen in 5-12 months. They were all shocked by my weight loss. It made me feel good and reminded me why I’m on this journey- to be healthier and happier!
