So here I am - Telling the whole world, or who ever is reading, the dreaded weight and begging for help! When I went to the doctor the weight was 270.5, that was on Friday the 14th. He told me he wanted me to lose 5 pounds by the 11 of June. 5 pounds! Do any of you have a doctor that hasn't said you were overweight and needs to lose the weight? Well my doctor never once told me I was fat or overweight, that is in those nasty words. All he said was, " Mary, for the sake of those grandkids and for the sake of YOUR health, I WOULD like you to lose 5 pounds by the 11th. Here are some tips to do it. If you need ANY help, PLEASE call my office." Wow now that is what I call a doctor.
So today is the 16th of May and I got on the scale, just to see how mine was compared to the doctors and it said I weighed 268.4, ok right! I went to the neighbors house and used their scale and she is a fitness nut, so I am guessing hers would be right, and hers said I weighed 267.9. Yippy!!!!.
Ok so what I need now is some good heart healthy recipes and I can thank the internet for those, but I also need the good old encouragement for everyone, you know the cheering section. I am so grateful for the family and friends that I have that have pushed me in this life changing trip that I am on. Craig, the good old man, has helped with eating what I fix and not complaining about it and the kids for the encourgement that this is something I can do. The next thing I need to work on is getting rid of most of the stress that I have in my life or dealing with in a different want. So here goes!!!!
