Weight is to be lost!

Ladies and Gents I would love to report in that just one week I lost 4.5lbs. Woot. This makes me so happy. It's definitely boosted my ego a little.

Today, I am going to get my meal plans together and show Scott what I am eating, which hasn't been that great lately. I've fallen off the wagon a little bit. I am right back on it today though. The only thing that I haven't fallen off the wagon with is not drinking pop. I found some water enhancer, MiO, I lurve it. My favorite so far is the Berry Pomegranate and fruit punch flavors. I haven't had a pop in a few days which is huge. HUGE because I swear that I am addicted to pop.

My life is changing, and I am so so sosososososososo happy about it. I have a long road ahead of me but I know I can do it. I KNOW it.

A poem I wrote at 16...

Look into my eyes,
I'll let you see,
What really goes on inside of me,
What I'm really meant to be.

Look into my eyes,
You can say,
You'll find a way,
To help me someday.

Look into my eyes,
You can be,
The one to take care of me

Look into my eyes,
You can bring out all my fears,
The ones that cause my tears
You can be my cure

Look into my eyes,
You can be the strength I don't have
Make me happy when I am sad
That day I will be glad
That you tried
And looked into my eyes.


Uhm, I think I wrote this about my first love, Miguel. We dated for a little over a year, but obviously things didn't workout. He lived in AZ and I lived in NV. The long distance thing isn't something that a 16yo girl should have to do. It's hard anytime, but fragile little me just couldn't handle it anymore. I don't think I was mature enough. Well either I wasn't or he wasn't. I think it was him that ruined everything. Yea yea I know, put the blame on him.. blah blah blah. It worked out for the better because now I have my husband and my sons and we're a happy little family. Josh is the one who looked into my eyes and caught my heart for life. That's all I care about now. I'm not sure if I will post more. I probably will...

MetCon

So, I've had 2 real sessions with Scott, my crazy personal trainer, and it's going really well. He's really intense but he's also very very encouraging. He's a great guy but my body totally hates him the next day lol

So, he likes to do metabolic conditioning, which is crazy but I am sure it will be most effective. Last night, for MetCon, he had me doing 10 chin up with a bar, 10 steps ups, and 10 reps with a kettle bell. I did 180 reps in 10 minutes. I am sore today, but it's a good kind of sore. I think on monday we will weigh again. hopefully there will be a weight loss.

We shall see on monday!!!

Yay!

Today I start working out with Scott, who is a personal trainer. I am super duper excited about this and can't wait to get on the road to weight loss.

Scott does high intensity workouts and I know he'll push me and I know I will hate him afterwards. But it won't be a bad hate, it's just a I hate you right now kinda hate lol

He works with Full Body Fitness which contracts with my gym.

Cannot.wait! I will keep y'all updated.

The Gym!

I went and did 1.5 miles on the treadmill. I am proud of myself. I even used incline and did a fast walk.

I figured out that I like to read while working out. It makes the time go faster and seems like I can go longer and further on the equipment. Yay for me!!

Yesterday's GI appointment

I got weighed. I've lose absolutely no weight. Sadness. I know this isn't going to happen overnight but it's still a little disappointing. We talked about some labs I had done, my liver enzymes are a little lower but still high enough to be concerned.

So guess what y'all? Liver biopsy here I come! I am not nervous really. I know it's an exploratory procedure and that it will help us understand exactly what is going on in there.

I am just waiting for a call from the hospital to schedule the procedure, Dr. Semmelroth said that if I don't hear from them in 2-3 weeks to give her office a call.

Well, that's my news for today!

To the G.I. I go!

I have another appointment with the G.I today, a followup to see how things are progressing with my fatty liver disease. I hope all goes well and that everything looks good.

I am hoping to get to the gym tomorrow sometime, hopefully while Wyatt is in preschool. :) I can drop C off at the child care center and work my butt off on the elliptical or treadmill.
Until I have a little more tolerance for working out and don't get so winded, I am working myself up little bits at a time. I am doing a mile on the elliptical, then I will move to a mile and a half, then 2 miles. so on and on.

This weight loss journey would be a lot easier if I had a trainer to push me.
