One month later

This month went quickly,

UPDATE

I have lost 8.2 pounds, I love my digital scales,  it shows to the ounce if I have lost or gained, I have to be careful with that because I think I could let it begin to have control over me and my emotions.

I was given the pill  adipex and I was told to break it in half for a few days, well I continued to half it.  I was really afraid that I would begin to depend on it.

Anyway I have lost weight but I really had to make a few changes.  I know that dr. thought I was fudgeing on how I ate and all that I did but I really was not.  But if I were a dr. looking at someone gaining weight maybe I would feel that way too.  Maybe she has had other patients that did that and she just jumped to that conclusion.

In any event -she does not realize that as a Christian, born again God loving and devoted to my Lord I would not lie to her and would not decieve.   She does not realize that I have a covenant with God and if I do anything to break that covenant I will hurt my Heavenly Father.

So I figured I had to determine soemthing, different to do.  I took the pill and contiued on with what I was doing for over a week and sow no change.  I used MY FITNESS PAL and according to their chart I should have lost a little over a pound, nope did not.

So I began doing more.  Time is not something that I can manufacture when I need more of it, and with all that is on my plate right now I did not have more time to give to more exercise.  So I began running.  Not the bone jarring, all out, breast bumping me in the chin run but faster than a fast walk, but slow enough that my joints would not take a beating.
I found out that I absolutely love the high that comes from running.  I walk a 2 mile round trip and most days I walkit later in the evening, when I have the time I would walk another mile to make it my 5.  At first I could barely run 100 steps and now well yesterday I can run 1/2 mile then I walk fast for  around 100 steps and then run another 1/2 mile.  By that time I have to walk a little more but still I try to run more than I walk and now that my legs are a bit stronger and I have better stamina I don't even stop I immediately start again on another round trip.

Since MY FITNESS PAL keeps up with fat and protein and carbs, I began lowering my carbs -not a lot but I try to keep the number 75 or less;.  So when I began doing these two things the weight started coming off slowly.  I am happy. 

Yesterday dh and I got our puppy. DH is totally in love with this tiny dog, now I can not spell chiwawa I have to look it up everytime but I'm sure you know what I am trying (and failing) to spell.
Daughter calls him Butter Bean, dh calls him BB and I call him lil B,  He is doing reat with his training. has not wet the floor at all and he wimpers when he needs to be put on the pad, or go outside.   But he does not like to be left alone, and I don't know how that will work when all of us has to be gone.    We may need to get him a little stuffed animal to cuddle with when we have to leave him.

God bless,
Have a great day.
