Oh my .....

I have been missing you guys! I haven't blogged because life has been beyond hectic since the new school year starts tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow! Hard to believe .... it has been a great summer and we have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am ready to get my routine down. I am going for a walk  jog tonight. I am not quite ready to start another challenge just yet! My body is still adjusting to the medication but I am feeling better each day.
I think this school year is going to be a good one! I am hoping to shrink a little each month and be at my goal weight by the time the school year ends. Wish me luck!

Back from my exercise hiatus...

I guess I decided to take a vacation from life,exercising and tracking points. The good news is that I am back! I don't know if my body was trying to get used to the new medication but I was just in a total funk. It seemed like all that I wanted to do or could do was sleep.
The hubs and Ems took a day trip and I had the day to myself yesterday. It was wonderful if I may say so myself :) I floated in the pool, did a little shopping and got refreshed and feel rejuvenated.
As I was floating I decided to get over myself and JUST DO IT!! I watched the Ironman in Kona and my gosh those people are beyond amazing. I can't even fathom putting my body through that. I don't know that my body could even do it! I am sure that it could if it was properly trained ...... Hummmmm this makes my wheels start turning and possibly key word possibly makes me want to sign up for the Houston 1/2 marathon in January. I am thinking about it .....
Last week of summer vacation for me .... a little sad but so thankful that I had these months off to spend with my family.
How many of you have done a 1/2 marathon? Will you share your story with me?
:D Lucy

Wow .... I have what?

Well I am sorry that I have not blogged in a while. I went to the doctor a week ago because I was experiencing some dizziness the past 3 months. I finally decided to go see what was going on because the dizzy spells were getting worse and they typically happened after working out. I went to the doctor and stated what I was feeling. After some blood work Doc told me that I am insulin resistant. That explains the why of a few things. The why I can't lose weight, the why I get so dizzy and the why of my obsession with potatoes. Apparently my body produces to much insulin and can't properly break down what I eat. The solution he came up with was to put me on Metformin and follow a low carb diet. I am the saddest about the low carb restriction, I love them! I am glad that I finally know why I work my arse off and then experience a .2 loss or .6! I was seriously going to throw in the towel and drown my sorrows in tortilla chips, queso and Margaritas!

I had a lingering stomach bug and sleepless nights so I have not started working out. Tonight might just be the start of my 15 day streak!

I have mentioned before that I am a school teacher and I go back to work in a week and a half! Yikes!! I am going to miss my daily morning routine ... coffee, checking my blog up dates and seeing what y'all are up to! I guess I will have to make it part of my evening routine! I have truly enjoyed blogging and appreciate all of your inspirational comments, you girls are great!

Have a terrific Thursday
:) Lucy
