Day 2: Achy a Bit

I am not sure how often I should weight myself....the number I see is so depressing, so I would rather not know.

This is how serious my cholesterol is....I got a call today about coming in for an ultrasound to see how badly damaged my liver is. Yikes. (Guess I should have drank myself silly in college anyways, huh?) I started the medicine today and have to go in 2 weeks for a check-up to see if the meds are working. I think the doctor will also be checking my weight.

A victory....today there was a surprise lunch for the principal with a baseball theme. There were BBQ hotdogs, chips, cracker jacks, peanuts, popcorn, soda, and cake. (A CostCo cake no less.) And I touched NONE of it. I am pretty proud of myself. I sat with some friends with my boring Lean Cuisine. We were gossiping like crazy which kept my mind off the junk.

I exercised last night for an hour and tonight for an hour. Total calories burned in both nights? 1497!!! HOWEVER, it takes me double this time at the gym, so I am thinking my personal elipitical is calculating too quickly. No worries. As long as I am on that thing for an hour and see some results.

Thank you to Deanna and Michelle who both took the time to read my first entry and who commented back. Your support in this in invaluable, even if it means just logging on every now and then to see what I am up to. I can't even get Michael to read. Bum.

I will be logging on some numbers just as a way to keep track without having to use pen and paper.

Blood sugar AM: 158 PM: 95 (yes, I have to do this as well. Life sucks, but now Michael doesn't have to do it alone...)

Breakfast: coffee with creamer
Lunch: Lean Cuisine (turkey and sweet potato), Diet Root Beer (8 oz)

Dinner: Salmon, Brown rice, salad with water (Helpful diet tip #1: One piece of salmon was a little under-cooked, which grossed me out enough to where my appetite went away. COOL! LOL)
