Wednesday April 20th update

I ended up going to an ear nose and throat DR. to figure out why I have been having a hard time hearing. It turns out that I have Meneirs. Most common symptom is dizziness, and full feeling in your ear. Well My main complaint is when I am in a situation to where I have a lot of background noise i can't hear and i have a full feeling in my ear. Now I do have the dizziness also but it isn't that bad, considering how bad it could be. so I was told to go on a low salt diet and take water pills. I really am not liking the effects of taking the water pills. and trying to drink more water at the same time.

I will say this though I have finally gotten to the point to where I don't have any heel pain and minimal knee pain. It is a wonderful feeling. I have noticed lately that at my part time job at Scheels running around trying to get people to sign up for the credit card the i am starting to get my visa sales back up. I think this is due to I am actually feeling good and not in pain. Thank goodness and its about time.

This past week i saw a 5 pound loss on the scale. I now weigh 253 pounds. really hoping to continue to see the scale going down. looking forward to see what the scale will say next Wednesday.

I think I am up to having about 10 pops in the past 13 weeks.

Hope you all had a great Easter and week.

wednesday april 13,2011 weightloss update

so it is that time of week again to where i go weigh myself. i will say this week i did stay the same.

i am still not satisfied with why i have said in the past why i havent seen much progress over the past year. saturday night i talked to a good friend of mine about things that i have been going through. it was at that time i found out exactly why i havent seen much progress. i began to settle for the 100 pound loss and get to comfortable with my self since i had my divorice, gambling and shopping issues under control.

i figured i have done enough, and i would be happy with maintaining my current weight. even though i really still wanted and want to beable to lose more. once i figured this out i have noticed that i have so much more determination and energy. so this past monday was the restart of bettering my nutrition and getting back on track with my workouts. nutrtition wise i have focused on a variety of things 1)not eating through a window 2) planning my meals out 3)counting my calories 4) when i have the munchies i have been drinking water. i have also gone 10 weeks with having about 9 pops. the last couple times when i have had one i have actually gotten a headache from it.
