First Day to a New Me!

So, today was my first day in my transformation to a new me! Despite needing a nap, I feel relatively the same. However, I took all of my medicine today, which is a first for me! I hardly ever take all my medications... Don't know why. Sometimes I just forget... Get busy and by the time I remember, I don't have the urge to take it because I know the side effects of my medicines. The 1500 mg of Metformin gives me GI issues, and the Lasix make me have to pee every 20 minutes or so! 

So today, I started off strong! For breakfast, I had a sausage biscuit with cheese and an orange, with a cup of milk. Literally 8 oz of Milk! I <3 Milk!! I left my house and ran a ton of errands, then came home and made a salad for lunch! I have found that Romaine lettuce is my favorite. It's the only one that has any sort of nutritional value and i LOVE how crisp it is!

Around 3, I found myself getting hungry again. I had a handful of dry roasted almonds and a bottle of water. :o) Haven't had the urge to have anything sweet yet, but it's not bedtime yet either!

Dinner time will consist of my husband's stuffed bell peppers! I have been craving them for over a month now and I finally get them!! :o) I have the best husband in the world! :o)

I feel 'hungry', but I think it's because I'm not doing anything right now.. Boredom is one of the reasons I gained so much weight! Gotta change that! A friend of mine said that when I started feeling like that, it's a good time to exercise!

My husband wants to know why I decided to go on a 'diet' the week of Christmas! I told him that I am not on a diet. I am working on changing my life, one step at a time, and it doesn't matter WHEN I start, as long as I have made the decision to do it! I can start now, or I could start next week, but why wait? When I have chosen to committ myself so fully to something, why postpone it?

I am thankful for my many, patient friends who are helping me through this! Lord knows I am going to need all the help I can get! Just don't give up on me, and I won't give up on myself! :o)

Until tomorrow..........
