Counting Calories

A calorie is a calorie whether it's in points, fat grams or whatever. I am going to count calories. I looked up the 1500 calorie diet that the dietician gave me and I am trying my best to follow it today. Even if I do feel like I am starving! I am so sick of being FAT.

I also kept thinking my Endo appt was this week. Well, it's not. It's next week. Why can't I get energy to do something????

I feel so fat and tired and I started yesterday.... so, that doesn't help at all. Well, this is not being productive....it's turned into a pity party. No more blogging today.

Do it for my health & the people who care about me and B

Yesterday, my best friend L really got onto me about not taking care of myself. She is afraid I am going to have a major stroke because the night before, I had a TIA with a migraine. Anyway, she said that I HAVE to get myself and my health in order. She was sweet about it and I am not mad at her at all because she is right about everything that she said. She said she could do it with me and help me but, I had to do it myself. She was so right about everything. So, today was the first day that I am taking care of ME.

I had to do the dr yesterday because of the migraine and he said absolutely NO BIRTH CONTROL because of the hormones. So, I went off the ring. Hopefully, that will also help me with losing weight. Just have to be careful in that area now.

L said that I should sit down and make a list of all the things that I need to do and take them one at a time. So, that is what I am going to do. I am also going to start keeping a food journal again. I have my appt with the endo on Friday. I am actually looking forward to it.

Health Coach

Today, I talked with my health coach. That was a good thing. For the past week, I have not had anything healthy to eat. I ate out every single day and I got so tired of it. She said that I need to start eating healthy and incorporating more fruits and veggies into my diet.

Well, that got me thinking that I really do need to take care of myself and stop "thinking" about it and do it.

So, here are my goals/plans for this week:
-Eat at home and eat normal portion sizes
-Drink my water-I have really been slacking in this area and drinking juice and Coke Zero everyday
-Get plenty of sleep
-Take time for myself

So, that is what I want to do this week. I want to try and get myself back on track because I am worth it. I need to do it for my family and myself.
