Well things have not been good when it come to my attempts to become healthier. It started in early August when I got really sick and couldn't exerciser. Then we went on vacation which was really fun but you try not eating fast food when you are on a road trip on a budget. And if you are able to do it, screw you I don't want to hear it.
Before Vacation I found out the my insurance was not going to pay for any Sleep Apnea Treatment. Evidently its not severe enough. They would prefer that I be on my death bed before they are willing to help.
So when I got back from vacation and went to the Dr and found out I had gained 15 pounds. After a nice little crying session with the Nurse I talked to the Dr and she let me know that loosing weight with out a thyroid is nearly impossible. Then she said the 2 words I have been dreading for 2 years GLUTEN FREE. Because that sounds so much fun She also said fighting the insurance company is a lost cause. So I said go away you are not my friend.
I got extremely discouraged about my 5K. I asked a lot of people to do it with me and I got no takers. A couple people said they would but never signed up. Now I am afraid I am either going to do it alone or not at all. I haven't signed up yet because I just wanted 1 person to sign up with. I didn't want to put in the money until I knew for sure. Maybe I should just pay for it to force my self to do it. Alone is better then not at all.
So after a morning of not being able to wear anything but stretchy fat pants and alot of crying my husband and I had a talk. So we are embarking on a 6 week cleanse. We are ridding our bodies of all toxins (including gluten) Lean meats fresh veggies and fruits and smaller portions. We will be weighing our food and no cheating.
To me this seems extreme but I have decided that's what I need. I can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. I do believe that is the definition of insanity
I have taken a before picture but I have not gotten up the courage to post it just yet. So be patient with me please.
OK. So, I think I have just enough time to see if I have the gumption to complete a Couch to 5K program. I have no idea if I can do that. But! I suppose I'll try. I did register for the race to support you *and* to see if I can do it. I don't know if having a partner working on this from 'afar' will make any difference but here goes nothing!
