Oct 1 – Oct 8

        It has been a long busy week, work piling up all around me, keeps me busy and the days go by   fast.  Got back on my diet after a couple of falls from grace.  Have increased my exercise to everyday, nervous about the weigh-in next week, but if I continue as I am I should be okay.  My current goal is to be on a normal scale at the Doctors office by Thanksgiving (that is one that only goes to 350).  That means about 20 lbs in the next 7 weeks, with this diet I should lose that and more but that is my goal.  My next goal after that is to get to the 2’s.  I figure if I set goals between 20 and 50 lbs at a shot I should be okay.  Especially if I give myself about 8 weeks for each goal.  Reasonable on this diet.

       My support structure has drifted away it seems, at least they aren’t as vocal about their support.  I have to keep reminding people that I have changed my  diet so I can’t eat certain things.  It makes it hard sometimes because people forget that I need to have certain things to eat.  Like the other night we had burgers for dinner, vegetables were supposed to be prepared so I would have something besides just burgers.  They weren’t.  They didn’t forget to make the fries though, a lot of good that did me.  It’s incidents like this that make it stressful sometimes, Oh, I get the I’m sorry, but again, a hell of a lot a good sorry does for the empty stomach.

        Have a question for any of my few readers, is there anyone out there that has diabetes and has had to come back from a lot of weight. (Like I am doing now)  It seems that my legs are hurting more and more as the days go by.  Is it because that now I am exercising I am just noticing it more than before when I wasn’t exercising?  Or is it something else, it seems it’s the muscles that are hurting in spots.  Unless someone has a suggestion I am going to wait a while to see if it eases up as I lose weight, if it doesn’t then I will contact my doc about it.  Wish me luck.

         Next weigh-in is Oct 14, feeling better about it right now, never confidant though.  Will have to wait and see.  This weekend should be good, nothing really to do, no events that is, just going to watch football, eat Buffalo wings and celery for snacks (great low carb snacks)
