Hi everyone ... Hope you are all dong well .

All is still going well in my world ... Eating low carb is still working and though I still ache everyday I wont stop working out. Kids wanted hamburgers for dinner so that is what I am cooking , but I am having one with no bun.

My boyfriend is helping with a fundraiser at his fire dept this weekend so its just me and the kiddos. Sitting here trying to decide what to do with my evening ... I have a couple of offers to go out with friends. And part of me is dying to go get dressed up and go ... but the other half of me wants to curl up with the kids on the couch and watch movies all night : ) Its so darn cold outside. ehhhh who knows what I will decide. What to do ? What to do ? Gonna go finish up the burgers and then workout. I am sure by then I will be ready to fall asleep ! lol

Have a great weekend everyone : )

Well I got to work on my usual unit at work today after three days away on another unit thanks to the flu lockdown. It felt so good to be back where I belong. I work at a very unique retirement community. It has several buildings and many different units. I work in the main building where the long term care patients area at. But there are different units that all have different types of patients. My unit is alzheimers/dementia. When I say this place is unique , i truly mean that. Everyone is treated like it is their home. And we function like a small community. There are no visiting hours , families come whenever they want. The dining room is like a large kitchen that is all treated like a home. No hospital type meal trays. Its truly a great place and I love it. We have special meals once a month or so... And today was one ...

PIZZA HUT DAY ..... Really ??? My patients loved it ... they were so happy ... and they ate like it was going out of style . One lady was licking her plate clean .

I seriously puts vicks under my nose so I wouldnt smell it as much ... I know I am insane . We sit and eat with the patients usually. And some people need help just to eat. TEMPTATION ... And everyone saying , just have one piece, stop being so crazed about your food. GRRRRRRRR

I succeeded ... ate a huge salad ... and ate the topping off of a small peice of pizza ( cheese and banana peppers ) ... I was NOT gonna eat that pizza crust. And tiramisu for dessert ... NO THANKS .... I went for a walk : )

After only losing 1 pound in the last 2 weeks I decided that this week I was gonna give this every bit of me , heart and soul , body and mind ... I vowed to myself to eat well and workout in some way EVERYDAY. I need to work harder ... I need to push myself. This battle isnt stroll in the park , its a battle and I must train and work and WIN.

I have had 2 nonstop didn't get to sit down at all kind of days at work. But I pushed myself and worked out HARD for a full hour yesterday and today. I must admit , I am aching from head to toe. Muscles ache that I forgot I had. I imagine tomorrow morning will be worse , but I am not stopping. Maybe a slightly less intense workout tomorrow , but I will workout. And by saturdays weigh in , the scale will move. I am sure of it.

I havent taken an elevator at work in weeks . Before I started this in january , going up 4 flights of stairs at work left me breathless and it was embarassing. Now I find myself running right up those same stairs . Almost like a challenge to myself , how fast can I go ?? I know its little but considering that 2 months ago walking up those stairs left my breathless and now I can run ... that feels amazing.

Another health plus ... My fasting morning blood sugars were pre-diabetes numbers before I started this in january. Now they are perfect numbers every morning. I sleep so much better at night, I wake up feeling refreshed and ready for a new day. And my energy level is increasing drastically.

I am changing my life. Slowly but surely , but by bit, day by day.
