Weigh-In Wednesday!

Today is my best Weigh-In Wednesday yet! I went to the Dr. last tuesday, and from their scale then to my scale this morning....I'm down 8 pounds! HOLLA!!!!!!!!!!!! Granted when I'm weighed at the Dr. I'm weighed in clothes, shoes, jewelry and at home I'm....well, not. lol You get my drift! But hey, I'll take it!

My goal last week was to lose 10 more pounds by Drew's birthday party on the 16. I didn't think I was going to be able to do it.......but now I have only 2 more pounds to go and a week and half to do it! So unless I do something stupid and gain weight....I feel confident that I may be able to reach my goal, and maybe more! That would be fantastic if it were more than 10 pounds! But, I'll be happy with 10 for 2 reasons. 1. Because it's 10 freaking pounds and 2. Because I actually met a goal.

My workouts are still slacking, but my eating is much better. I haven't been eating all healthy however. I eat what I want....I just eat a ton less of it. Everything in moderation right? Since I'm extremely anemic...I've had to go back on iron pills. I've started them a few times before and always stop taking them because they hurt my stomach so bad. But, this time I don't have a choice.....I HAVE to take them. So I'm starting off slow. I take a half of a pill every other night. So far, I'm doing ok on them....but I have been feeling a little nauseous every now and then. Iron is not fun. But hopefully with the changes in my diet, and the iron supplement...things will start to turn around. I found out that tea depletes iron. Up until a week ago when I found this out....I was drinking at least 32 oz of unsweet tea a day! I loooove iced tea. No sugar, no sweetener, just iced tea. Now I can only have it in moderation. I've actually cut out all caffeine all together....for iron reasons. It hasn't been horrible, actually a little easier than I expected. As long as I know I can have it once in a while as a "treat" then I'm good. It's amazing what you can do, when you don't really have a choice anymore! haha. I definitely feel better.....with cutting out most of the "crap food". My Dr. told me....this is a lifestyle change, and he's correct. Lots of changes, but so far so good!

This made me laugh....because it really is the truth. It just takes some of us longer than others to figure that out! I'm super excited about my 8 pounds......ready for another 8!  Happy Hump Day!!
