Update 15

It has been a while since I have posted an update. There has not been a lot of news to update with so I haven't really felt the point in posting one. However, I figured now was a good chance to let anyone who stops by know what is going on.

This month I saw my doctor and my nutritionist. At the doctor's office I lost another 18 pounds in 3 months. So that is just about 50 pounds since June. Since my highest weight I have lost about 58 pounds.

My A1c also got rechecked and unfortunately it went up to 6.8 (from being 6.7 three months ago) It's not a huge deal but I want to get under 6 %.

My nutritionist also would like me to be interviewed for the local paper. Since March is a month about nutrition, she wants to get some recognition out in the community and let people know that dieting can be done the right way. It may not be easy, or always fun but it is doable. Commitment and focus are very important, not just diet and exercise.

Anyway, that is the most important information for my little update.

Until next time, I will talk to all of you soon.

Dancing Dreams

Ever since I could walk, I have loved dancing. It was always a dream of mine to be a professional dancer. However, I never was able to take classes. I gave up trying out for my high schools dance team because of my anxiety.

Now, I really regret all of that. I still really love to dance, but unfortunately I am too late to do anything about it. I could take classes and become better, but by the time I was at a pro level, I would be too old.

If there is something you wish you could go back and change, what would that be?

Update # 14

I've been on this new journey for over 7 months now. It has been a lot of things except for easy. However, things that are worth it are never easy. A lot is changing and I am finding that some of my dreams have even changed. I'll get into that information someday. This still, however, is about my weight loss/ getting healthy journey.

So, today (January 20th) I met with my Nutritionist. We talked about how my food has been, how much exercise I have been doing, and went over my blood sugar. They aren't perfect, or even that low, however they have been under 200 for a long time which is very important. In time my goal will be to never go above 140, and when I am fasting stay under 120.

I lost 6.4 pounds in 5 weeks. Ever since I started in June, I have been consistantly losing weight at 6 pounds (give or take half a pound here and there). Since my highest weight I have lost about 55 pounds. I have around 60 (at the most) left to go.

I also lost 10 inches around my waist. I still have about an inch to get to a healthy waist size, but my goal is 5-10 more.

I understand this second half will be harder, and I am definitely not looking forward to the slower progression.....but I am looking forward to finishing what I started. I am not there yet, but as soon as I can, I want to be able to say that I used to be fat...but I never will be again.

There are so many things I want to do once I lose the weight.

Anyway, that is all for this update. Until next time, I will talk to all of you soon. xx

Update: Week 13

Finally, another update! Here is my 13th update (although it really is like the 18th week because I skipped a few updates).

Friday I saw my nutritionist again and got a lot of good news. Lost almost 7 more pounds. Found out my a1c result. 6.7 percent (or 147 average). My goal is to get the average under 140.

My nutritionist also gave me the Just Dance 2 for the Wii as a christmas gift! It's a lot of fun, so I would recommend it for anyone looking for a fun workout.

I cannot think of anything to add to this update, so until next time...I will talk to all of you soon.

Update: Week 12

So today, the 12th of November, I saw my nutritionist. She was proud of all my efforts in the past 5 weeks. I walked over 10,000 steps almost everyday, my blood sugar was pretty good most of the time.

I also lost 5.8 pounds in 5 weeks.

I will see the doctor in a few weeks for a checkup, and then get my blood taken for the a1c test.

I will update as I know more.

Birthday & Update.

Today was another Friday, so I weighed in and lost another pound....bringing the total to 40 pounds! 30 pounds of that I lost since June when I was diagnosed with Diabetes. I can see that my blood sugar seems to be getting in better control with the more weight I lose and I still have about 70 pounds to go.

On another note, my Birthday is Sunday. I will be 23. Nothing too fancy planned, just will spend it with family and have some Pizza. Since it's a special occasion seems like it would be okay to Indulge.

Finally, I've been working on my second novel. The first novel I have not given up on, but I am giving it a rest. I am excited about the novel and am finding a lot of new ideas. I will post about it sometime after Sunday. I hope you all will enjoy to find out what it will be about....and I hope one day I will be able to find a great publisher who will publish it.

Till next time, I will talk to all of you soon.

Update: Week 10

This week I lost about a pound, and I feel glad to be getting closer week by week to my goal. I am less than 2 pounds away from losing 40 pounds since I started. At 12 more pounds I will have lost 50 pounds! Still a long way to go, but I am excited to get there.

Not much else to update this week.

Until next week, I will talk to all of you soon.

Just an update;

Just wanted to post a little update, since I havent in a few weeks. Met with my nutritionist today, things are going well in that area. Lost 6 pounds in 5 weeks. Since around the middle of June I have lost around 25 pounds; over 30 pounds since I first began this journey. I hope to start posting every Friday again, but I'm not good with keeping up with things like that.

Until next time; talk to all of you soon.
