Monday I have my big doctor check up. I think it will be ugly as I have been in the hosp 4 times in the last 3 months. Plus, my INR is 1.8, so we are adjusting my coumadin. The only thing I can think up that would have messed it up is the glucerna shakes. I've been having 1 a day to help with my blood sugar spikes. they have eliminated all green things from my diet since the number is so low.
Motivation: Today I will stay on my plan, drink my water and exercise, even if just for 10 minutes.
Journal: What is my plan today, write it down!
Quilting: for 10 minutes I will do something quilty.
Do it! and Report IT! We need you for motivation.
Well,you did lose 40 pounds and have kept it off,so that's something a lot of young gals can't even do.Shows you can stick with it,and are serious about it.I think once you get going again,you'll do even better.That cumadine is some serious stuff.My hubby was on it too for quite a while and had to be monitored constantly.But now is off the cumidine,off the baby asprin,his 80 mg zocor is now 40 mg because his cholestoral is too low.And is off a bunch of other meds too.Just since we been doing the dinners.Amazing just how much our mental and physical abilities are tied to our diet.Look at Jack Elaine and his wife.They been eating right all their lives.And they been around forever,and still going strong.So,what you did to get the 40 pounds off,obviously worked well for you.40 pounds is a lot to lose,and even with your medical issues,you did it.So you are a role model for all of us.So,let's get going on the next round,as I like to call it.Let's get er done! Oh,I just saw on TV they now have "E-DIETS" where they "deliver the meals" and you lose 94 pounds.Sound familiar?Wonder if it took them 4 yrs? probably not!!! Our way is better and way cheaper!We already know how to "E-Diet"
