St. Patrick’s Day Goal

50 pounds in 13 weeks.  I have my next endocrinologist appointment then.  My blood work was better today, good even, but not great.  My doctor said that it probably wasn’t going to get much better because of my weight.

When she started to talk about Xenical as a possible alternative she made it clear that she wasn’t a fan as she was also naming off all the side effects.  So I said, “Or perhaps getting off my butt and exercising for 30-60 minutes a day?”  She just smiled and said, “That would work, too.”

So, in keeping with my birthday present to myself, I am hoping that I will be able to reach my goal of 50 pounds lost by March 17th.  And not in keeping with that goal, I have really got to finish making the Christmas goodies to mail out!

    It’s amazing to think so long-term and to think what we can accomplish if we stay consistent. You can do it!

    I see my endocrinologist in February and I want to be 200 for my birthday in March! If you need a buddy to help you with this, I am in!

    I just was in the cardiologist’s office all day today having a cardiolite stress test. I have leaky heart valves we know for sure, so far but they wanted to look for more damage. He advised me that I need to get the weight off for my heart condition and it’s been a good motivator, as it’s very scary!

    It’s good you see an endocrinologist because I think since I started seeing mine, things have been getting dealt with and I am making a lot of improvements in my health.
