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.

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

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.

* [this is blood sugar levels first one in the morning, second after a meal. If there is a third it is because the second was too high so worked out to lower it]




Lost 2.2 pounds this week, bringing the total to 29 pounds!


I had a doctor appointment this week. Mainly just a checkup and to see what tests the doctor wants me to take. Next week I will have another a1c test to see if overall I have lowered my blood sugar in the past three months. I will also have a vitamin D level test to see if I need more (most likely because most people don't get enough). Also a microalbumin test to see if there is any damage to my liver. That's especially important because I do not know how long I have had diabetes.

Next week I will update with the results to the tests. Till then, I will talk to all of you soon.

Unlocked new workout minute bank on the Wii fit + for 20 hours of working out total!

Weight In: Lost 2.4 more pounds this week which makes the total so far 25.6 pounds lost!


Today, Friday August 6th I went to see my nutritionist which I do at the beginning of every month. She was really proud and happy with my success so far. In a month (according to her scale) I lost 6.6 pounds. That's really great in one month! She made a goal for me to walk 10,000 steps daily (which would be 5 miles). I get around 5,000+ steps at the moment. So 10,000 steps will be a hefty goal but very doable.

I think that is all the news I have for this update...so until my next update.....I'll talk to all of you soon.

Health, Lifestyle & Goals

Since I am now dieting and sticking to an actual plan with only a few scheduled deviations, I decided I should talk more about it on my blog. So once I week I will post about the success of the week (probably every friday since that is the day I weigh in).

I will include minutes I work out daily, steps counted by my pedometer, weight lossed, and maybe calories consumed (but I havent gotten around to tracking the numbers daily since I don't count calories really anymore...although I try to). My main focus is eating balanced ...with the diabetic exchanges (since our diet is different than those who don't have diabetes).

I will update up till this point and then go to posting on Fridays.
