ONE YEAR I AM BACK!!
Hi sweetie,
Hope this year brings you nothing but sunshine.
I've been down with the 'flu for a week. But I'm up and running now. I had put on 7lbs over the holiday's and got it all off. But I just can't get any lower, no matter what I do. Up this, down that, round and round. So, I am just going to work on maintaining it. I know we're not suppose to weigh every day, but it keeps me on track. I allow myself 5lbs fluctuation for fluid, etc, but more than that, and I back off whatever. I keep the carbs to before 2pm, so they have time to work off in my system. I know I'm getting enough protein, as all my blood work shows everything is really good. I have stopped eating any sugar free treats. They give me such gas, I can't stand myself. And it's too hard to deal with that at work. I have low carb yogurt for my treat. That uses Splenda. And it gives me natural calcium, like my PCP said to do. I can't take it in pill form due to kidney stones, so I get mine through food. So, there I am. My health is good, my life is busy, and I wear a size 5 ring and 14 clothes. I wore a 14 in 11th grade, and 16 in the 12th. Not too shabby. I guess I just wasn't meant to be thin. Genetic, metabolism, whatever, plays a part, and I wasn't meant to be Twiggy, just Junoesque, I guess. But a healthy Juno.
Hugs to all,
Nona
