New Doctor Update
Yesterday I went to see a new Doctor for my first visit. She is awesome.. I love her..... I am so happy about our consultation; I have never had a more thorough exam in my life. She got to know me personally and physically, and I have never experienced that before. When I left she gave me a red folder full of all the stuff we talked about, a sample of vitamins, and a bunch of health info. She really cared about me... I have never felt that way with any other Doctor... It really blew me away.. We also talked allot about artificial sweeteners, and high fructose corn syrup, and she has advised me to remove them from my diet. I am glad she consulted with me on that, because I have been wanting to get off the Splenda for some time now, but felt guilty drinking juices because of the sugars they have. She advised me to try juices that say "no added sugar" and do not list sugar or corn syrup in the ingredients line. I jus****er them down and maek a sort of juicy water. I tried it this mornig and so far so good... She is also into natural medicine, and I am really excited about that... I can't say enough about her.... She is awesome!! I have to go get my labs run tomorrow or some time this week, and then I will follow up with her in mid August. After she gets my labs back, she is going to devise a strategy for me to loose weight and get healthy. In the meantime, I am going to continue with my counting calories and fat plan, and incorporating more and more exercise into my days. I am hoping by the time I see her again, I will have lost even more weight. Side note.... By the time I was weighed, it was 5:00pm, and I weighed 2 pounds heavier than I did last Friday. I am thinking it had to do with the e time of the day I was weighed.... I have to be honest and say that I have this track record for going crazy with food after doctors appointments where my weight is discussed... go figure.. I know it's self destructive....Especially with a two pound gain, I began to feel those feelings of wanting to throw in the towel. I fought hard last night, and I did not overeat, or turn to carbs and sugar. I am so proud of myself for making it through that time. Any other time, I would have gone hog wild after that Doctors appointment. I think my want to have a healthy pregnancy is driving me with great force.... and the weight loss is a side effect of sorts. I am feeling great today, and I hope I can keep up my good work in the months to come.
WOO HOO !!!
