GLAMMER's Journal, 05 April 2014

Hi, sorry I haven't been on here for awhile. Life just gets in the way sometimes. I have a new healthcare worker & he is trying to help me with my weight loss. He has me working with a problem solving program, basically about pinpointing our problems, prioritizing them & breaking them down into manageable chunks, so you can set practical goals for solving, or at least dealing with them effectively. It's supposed to help me with my weight loss, & with my other health issues, & the mild to moderate depression that I struggle with because of them. I've been to some pain management & problem solving /stress relief type classes before, but I can use all the help I can get right now, as the weight is not coming off easily this time, mostly due to my extremely limited mobility. The gal comes right to my house, which is one reason I agreed to try the program, since I don't have to worry about going anywhere & fitting it into hubby's work schedule, etc.
He also set me up with a dietician, but they are so booked up my 1st appt with them isn't til May 21st. This is about the time I plan to have lost the 25 lbs to have my surgery, but after that I'll till have lots of weight to lose, so it's still a good thing. Meanwhile I have my monthly weigh-ins at my Ortho's office. Had the 1st one last Friday, that's when I saw I'd only lost ,2 lbs, & didn't lose any more when I weighed here at home on Sunday. At least it's heading down, so I'm not worrying. I'll just try harder to eat right, exercise & eliminate naughty snacks, & if I'm consistent in that I know the weight will come off, even if not as quickly as I'd like. I went shopping again with my oldest DD last night. Didn't get home til after midnight, UGH! Then I had to put the month's worth of groceries away. Good exercise, LOL! DD took me to dinner as usual, to McGrath's Fish House. I ate more than I should, but was careful too. I had macadamia crusted halibut, but only had sauteed veggies on the side, & declined the starchy spuds & delicious crusty bread (ok, I did taste the bread, but just a tiny bit). I feel I did pretty well this time. I love being with her so much,laughing & having fun. I haven't weighed since Sunday & won't weigh again til this Sunday AM. Meantime I'll just keep trying to eat wisely & with moderation, & hope for good news.
Going to hop on the exercycle now. Have an AWESOME day, my friends! (( HUGS ))
