Getting Started

[Guest guest]

First I want to thank everyone who wrote me back. You all are soooooo supportive. This is such a wonderful group. I am lucky to have you all as friends. Well, today is going to be my starting day. I am really really really going to try really hard to get back into the swing of things. I started this morning by measuring my cereal and my milk like I am supposed to do. Then my hubby and I went and walked the track across the street. We went around twice without stopping. Which is good for me. Last time I tried to walk the track I went around once and stopped half way around and sat down for awhile. This time I went twice around with no sitting down. I am so proud of myself. In my head I just kept saying, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I was able to go around twice. That would equal 1.6 miles. Might not be a lot for some of you who walk 6 miles a day, but to me this was a great thing. This is the first time really trying again for awhile. I told my hubby that I need to start today to get back into the swing of things again and that I needed his help. I think he is going to help me. I am going to measure my food like the diabetic clinic taught me to do and I am going to try and exercise every day. This is my goal. I didn't lose any weight at all in the month of April. I am going to try hard to change that for the month of May. The next thing I want to do is go to the store and buy some water. The water out of the tap here is just terrible. We (my hubby and me) have to go to the laundry mat to do our laundry for the week. Maybe after we get that done and over with I can convince him to go to the store with me to get my water. I am in so need of it. I miss having cold water in the fridge that I can grab any time I like. I do think when I was drinking my water properly that was helping me to lose the weight. I know I need to start doing this stuff again, not only to lose weight, but to get healthy. I need to get back into the swing of things again to keep my blood sugar where it is supposed to be. I don't want to have to end up on medicine for diabetes. I want to do what I was doing and control it by how I eat. Well, I guess I wrote a book. LOL! I wanted to let you all know that I am starting again today to really try and I wanted to say that I am feeling a little better mentally too. Part of my problem *might* have been PMS. Don't know for sure, but that can mess up my mind pretty good. from MO
