losing weight makes me smile
6:18 AM on May. 21, 2008
i lose six pounds!!! whoo hoo! i know right now that the bulk of that is water weight and toxins leaving my body, but with the exercise and eating healthily, i feel as if the weight will just continue to fall off. more slowly after the initial start period, but still...i'm pretty proud. and so far i'm using a lot less insulin already because the carbs i eat are better for me and a much smaller amount. i went from about 70 units of insulin a day to about 50. as i tweak things more it will become even less. and i need to adjust things so that i have a better balance between my basal and bolus percentages. but i feel right now that i can become very successful. i used to be relatively thin and have always had nice muscle tone. but since moving into my mother in law's southern home i've gained weight from the processed foods, stress, and lack of exercise. but times they are a changing. i miss looking good. but this is a good start for me. if i can keep it up for the next few months i may look even better than i did before. i'm a shrimp (5'1") so for me i'd look best at anywhere from 100-120 lbs. it's going to take some time, but i'm really ready to put in the effort and i must say, six lbs is definately a good motivater.
