I went to the doctor this past Saturday and had blood work done. My doctor checked my cholesterol and my glucose. The results weren't good. I had eaten breakfast on the way to the doctor so I am fairly certain that weighed heavily (no pun intended) on the results. My glucose came back as 130. That right there requires me to fast and go back for more blood work. I am going back for that in two days. Cholesterol was 204. It should be under 200 but really I'd like it to be less than that. My good cholesterol was 38. My bad cholesterol was 122 which should be under 100 and my triglycerides were 219 and they should be under 150. Talk about bad news. When I go to the doctor in a few days I will be addressing those results as well. It was really an eye opener. I must stop eating fattening foods. I don't want to die especially not from heart disease at such a young age. I am only 25, 26 soon and I have a child I want to see grown and grow.
Now to why I am so irritated... The last two mornings I have been walking with a family member before getting ready for work. Well when I was in to see the doctor she suggested riding my bike. She feels this would be a good exercise for me because I can't get my speed up, my heart rate up and it won't be as hard on my joints since I am carrying all this extra weight. Sooo, I suggest riding bikes this morning while at dinner last night. When I made the suggestion to my family member she said she would do it but I could tell she really wasn't that into it. I didn't push the subject since she said she would. Well the morning is here now and she isn't going to ride her bike because it is still a little bit dark. It is getting lighter as I write this. I knew she would flake out. Really pisses me off. Well I didn't want to walk today and she did so I asked another family member to walk with her so she didn't have to go alone. Now I won't be doing my morning exercise because I have no sitter for my little one. Next I will just say "I'm still going to go. I have to do this for myself." I am ranting and rambling but I figured that's what blogs are for.

But, the good new is I am down two pounds from last week. Last week I was at 298. This week I am at 296. It isn't as much as I would like but I really can't complain given I've messed up.
Hopefully next week its doubled and I am down another four pounds or more. I am still in the beginning phases of weight loss and so I may lose more rapidly and because I have so much to lose it isn't uncommon to lose more.
Well, that's all for now,

I needed to post last Thursday for my first weigh in.
For the first week I lost 5 lbs. My starting weight was 300 and I dropped to 295.
This last week which is the second week didn't go well. Gah, why do I have to like bad food so much? LOL
I am up 3 lbs this week and weighing in at 298. Today is the start of a week and I need to get my act together and stop making excuses!!
I've got my bars packed and ready to go for the day. No going of course. I can do this! I will do this!

I'm going t stay on track. Its imperative to reach my goal.
Up until now I haven't said what my goal weight is. Ultimately, I would like to be around 150 lbs. That's half my current weight. Crazy, huh?
I am starting with a smaller goal and will continue to make goals along the way to reach the 150 I am shooting for. Right now, my goal is 40 lbs by the end of this 12 weeks. If I lose 60 I will be ecstatic.
Tomorrow is weigh in day so we will see what the scale says for my first week. While I am not expecting much because of my major flubs over the weekend I will be interested to see what the scale says.

I had my four bars (two meal bars and two snack bars) and just ate dinner.
Dinner wasn't so much on course as I would like to be but today really was a good day on the diet.
I had a homemade pulled pork sandwich and a small handful of potato chips. Not the lean and green I was going for but that's what was made and that's what I ate. For what I did eat, my portions were in check. For those that know me this is a huge deal because portion control is one of my down falls.
Well...
