half way there!

gonna be skinny before i'm 40!
I want to go clothes shopping and actually find something to fit! I want to wear women's clothing, not generic mens Hanes t's because nothing else fits my frame. I said I wouldn't be 30 and weigh 200 pounds; well here we are 10 years later. And 50 pounds heavier.

So I vow to eat healthier.

i vow to know what i'm eating.



April 10th, 2012 I needed a belt

Get a new belt!

June 30th till mid September, welcome to plateau ville! i will not let it beat me. just because i'm stuck doesn't mean i should throw in the towel and head for Chinese!

September 12th, i bought my first pair of women's jeans and they fit. 20 years ago i would never ever have admitted i wear a 16 and now i want to shout it from the rooftops! i think i wore men's jeans as part of a denial about my size.

September 21st,2012 -2 days to go and i eeked it out. i have made my first goal of being 207 by our anniversary. now my reward- to put on my wedding dress for the first time in 6 years. it was raining so bad that day and the dress is surely ruined so i never looked at it after it came back from the cleaners. i have this plan of wearing it as a halloween costume with some angel wings. (stop that snickering!!)

I am glad you have stopped smoking! No, I don't smoke, I did very briefly. My father died for a rare skin cancer that was accelerated from smoking and alcohol consumption.
As far as your blood pressure. When I was first diagnosed with high blood pressure, I noticed that it would be a little higher than when I took my blood pressure at home.

Here are a couple of things , I did that brought the pressure reading down during my doctor's visits.
1. Don't eat grapefruit!!! I know it might seem weird but my blood pressure would spike in the winter time because in the winter I use to eat grapefruit. Grapefruit cancels your blood pressure medication.
2. Ask the doctor to use a larger cuff, tell him/her about the bruising and how much it hurts. The cuff just might be a little small.
3. Arrive a least 10 minutes before your appointment, close your eyes, breath deeply, and slowly to relax from your drive to get to the doctor's office. This is one thing my doctor always insisted on for my visits. emoticon
4. Turn your cell off!!! This is very important! The use of your cell phone while waiting at the doctor's office can increase your blood pressure.
5. Also, if you can schedule your appointment on your off days, if you work. That way , if you have your appointment during your work day, scheduling the appointment on your on your work day could cause you to feel pressured for time!
6. If you have children, leave them at home. or schedule your appointment on a different day from them. That keeps you from having to worry about what your children are doing during your appointments.

I hope these hints help! I am sure you and your doctor would be amazed how these adjustments help!

I'm feeling very motivated now but I have definitely had my share of setbacks. The holidays seemed to last forever this year and I just could not overcome them. But I didn't do as much damage as I might have so I'm pretty happy about that. Losing ten pounds by April sounds eminently doable! You got this! emoticon
