225 down 1.5 pounds Total weight loss 4.5 pounds
Blood Sugar Update:
258 down 125 points
Ok, so not the big weight drop I was hoping for. But still a move in the right direction.
I have been avoiding processed food, fast food and exercising at least 5 days a week .... So I find myself wondering why am I not thinner yet? Of course I am being sarcastic but on some level I feel like I should have made more progress by now. But feelings don't always serve us in reaching our goals. I need to be realistic and celebrate the small successes.
Yes, in one month I have only managed to lose 4.5 pounds. BUT in that same month I have brought down my blood sugar over 100 points without medication and by changing my diet. I have begun to change my eating habits to the point that I have stopped having daily cravings for fast food and soda.
Because I have been focusing on muscle building exercising I am going to pull out the tried and true "I've been building muscle which weighs 3 times as much as fat" to make me feel better.
Also, my metabolism has been in hibernation for years and it is unrealistic to expect it to turn around in 1 month. It takes time to turn a ship.
Regardless of the slowness in my results I refuse to give up! Changing my lifestyle has NOT been easy so far, and I know that it will get harder but I'm tough, I can handle it!
