All in the attitude
I'm up at 1am...I had fallen asleep around 7pm tonight and that was my undoing. I had such a headache and though I wanted to do some reading I gave up and fell asleep instead. I'll have to work to keep this from causing me any more missed sleep this week.
I had my yearly doctor exam today. My doc mentioned my weight gain over the last couple of years, 20 pounds. For a second I felt disappointed cause it was a reminder of how hard this has been the last bit but then I put my chin up and told her how well I have been doing and that I am on week 4 of exercising at least 6 days a week.
It didn't help that she saw me in the afternoon after two meals, plenty of water and my bloat week. So I am not sure how much of that 20 was because of that. I know this week I have been up on the scales but I can feel it as water bloat. But I also know that I have not done as well as I would have liked over the last couple of years and I am turn that around and will bring it back down. Next step is to get back to my healthy eating in a constant way. I am doing a little of that now but I really need to do it all day...every day.
I got to chat with Flabuless from http://www.findingflabuless.com/ and had a wonderful time. Go check out her blog...I think you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
I will work on catching up on blogs tomorrow as I didn't get to read today due to having to get weekly paperwork in at work before leaving for my appointment. Now I had better get to bed and try to keep from messing up my sleep cycle too much.

Ugh. I'm getting ready to go to my doctor for my annual checkup, too. I just know she's going to nag about the weight I've gained since the last one, and I'm going to nag her right back. I've been exercising, I've cut my fat down to 30 grams or less per day, I've cut out red meat, tripled my veggie and fruit intake and am otherwise doing everything I'm "supposed" to be doing. But it's not coming off.
As far as I'm concerned it's HER job to figure out why. And I might just sit on her scale and cry until she agrees to do that.
