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!
Have a terrific Thursday
:) Lucy
