It's starting to show!!
We had Kyles Christmas party on Saturday (for Total) and my MIL swung by to pick up the kids and take them on a sleep over at her house. She told me that I am losing weight and I look good. Woot woot!!
I haven't made it to the gym since last Wednesday; our schedule hasn't allowed me to go and now I'm sicker than a dog. All three of us girls are sick. It started with tonsillitis for poor Maren, then Addison caught a cold and now she's shared it with me. Boo.
I'm still losing weight, though! I lost one more pound! Whoo!
Hopefully soon I'll be feeling well enough to get back to working out.
Till next time...

I Can DO IT!!
Good morning everyone!
Just wanted to drop in with an update. I am still hitting the gym regularly- at least 5 times per week, and it's slowly paying off. I've lost another pound and a half, which brings me down to 186.5 lbs.
Yahoo!
Which makes me feel relieved, because I feel as though I've hit a brick wall when I'm at the gym. It's so.much.work these days!! LOL. Five minutes into the elliptical and I'm ready to quit! I haven't, though! I pushed through it last night and ran for 35 minutes. Hopefully tonight is easier!
If not, consistently losing weight will keep me going. Losing that little big is such a fantastic motivator! Not to mention encouragement :)

Dietician
Well, I've been struggling these days with eating properly. I'm still working out, but am losing the battle to sweets and comfort foods. I'm not happy about that!
Having said that, we met with the dietician yesterday, and we were pleasantly surprised by the news we received. Kyle isn't technically a diabetic yet- he has pre-diabetes, and it's completely treatable and reversible. But, that's as long as we observe a strict diet following the Canada food guide and smaller portions more often throughout the day.
So, even though I am not diabetic/prediabetic, I have a new goal to reach. This morning, I ate a proportion accurate breakfast that incorporated three of the food groups already. And, I feel good!!
Oh, the other thing we must change is going from regular everything to "lite" everything. Should be easy, right?
