I made a few bad choices and succumbed to emotional eating once or twice, but considering the disappointing news about my lymph nodes I am cutting myself some slack. Even when I made bad choices, I compensated for it later in the day by eating lower calorie meals. I have still been logging my calories & exercise on myfitnesspal.com. I also joined the gym last week and have gone to work out twice. Working out wasn't easy for me, but I enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment. The first time that I went I swam laps. I had a hard time hoisting my fat ass out of the pool which was mortifying, but I won't let it stop me from doing it again. I really enjoy swimming for exercise. The second time I did the bike and treadmill. My knees are a little sore today, the day after but hopefully I can get them stronger and take more pressure of them by exercising and losing the weight.
Overall I'm down 18.1 pounds! I lost enough weight to need a lower dose of Synthroid. Woot, woot!
Way to go! That is awesome. Keep it up!
