Why am I finding this so hard to update? Maybe I'm not facing my own reality?
So....I went to the Doc and lo and behold, my cholesterol did go down. I think it's because of these Red Yeast rice capsules I've been taking. It didn't go down by much but at least it's down. However, I've gained weight. I have known this was happening but I'm so unmotivated to get my ass moving. I've gone from working out 5-6 times a week to about 2-3. I still can't figure out what my problem is? I have an idea: laziness and work. Sometimes I'm just so comfy in my house that I can't muster up the energy to go and work out. Other times I'm motivated to go and then work gets busy and I just lose the urge to get out and get moving. I keep hoping that every day will be the day I get my butt in gear. Still holding out for that day.
One aspect I can be proud of is my cutting down of my beloved baked goods.....and ice cream intake. I now limit myself to one sweet treat a day. This is HUGE for me. There were days (I'm embarrassed to admit) that I would eat 3-4. And I'm not talking Oreo-size. I'm talking 3-4 cupcakes.....BIG cookies.....brownies.....pieces of pie. You get the idea. Well, after my weight gain and my eye opening high cholesterol I vowed to cut down. I can't go cold turkey (I tried....and the Doc wants me to but I just can't) but I can limit and I will/have.
That's about it. Every day is a struggle but I realize that I have to make changes in my life as my health depends on it. I'm no spring chicken. I'm an old goose.
LOSE ME!
