I already messed up today by not drinking enough water or milk and by checking facebook! AGGH. I updated about DD, A, being sick, but I need to stay off FB!!!!!!!
Not giving up my diet dr pepper, yet, but it makes it hard to get all my water in when I crave diet DP so much.
Until tomorrow!

Fasting from Facebook
Today is FAT Tuesday! One of the things I'm giving up for Lent is Facebook. I hope it will help me stay off the computer more and stay more in tune with the kids. Also hoping that by the time Easter rolls around, I'll almost be totally done with my 590 Research Project. Until then...

Tuning Back In
It's been a long time since I've posted here, and I don't think I have any followers, so I can use this more as a journal.
I meet with my family doctor again in March as my 3 month follow up for several conditions that I now have:
slight high cholesterol (been trying to manage with diet and taking fish oil- although fish oil can raise triglycerides)
pre-diabetes (started on Metformin 500mg daily which I should have probably been on years ago due to PCOS and insulin resistence)
B12 deficiency (I get monthly shots and I'm taking a B complex vitamin daily)
I am finally motivated to get healthy again. For quite a long time, I just haven't cared much.
Here are some small goals that I have:
Drink 64 ounces of water, daily
Drink 24 ounces of skim milk with Ovaltine supplement, daily
50 sit ups at night
Walk for 30 minutes when it's warm out, take kids with me!
Devotionals nightly
5-7 servings of vegetables daily focusing on cleansing ones (cabbage, celery, carrots, beets, asparagus, brussel sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, spinach)
Big Goal*** Lose 20 pounds by May 3rd (10 weeks)

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Hello Friends:
I am starting another blog: This one is all about my journey to become healthier (and hopefully lose weight in the process). I'll be sharing a lot on here. My accomplishments, blunders, challenges, and re-commitment to the goal.
I'll be posting my food diary, measurements, weight loss, and exercise routine.
I hope this blog encourages people, and I also hope it will bring me support as I set forth on this journey.
Thanks,
Melissa
