Went to the Y this morning after dropping J off at school. Did 30 minutes on this sitting stair stepper, did some upper body weights......and get this....did 15 minutes /over 1/2 mile on the treadmill. I just wanted to test out my heels. I have not iced it down or anything yet and as I sit here I feel no pain. I just got up and walked across the room and no pain! I will be careful.

I lifted weights with Jim Sunday and have been eating very well this week. We shall see.

I started the week trying to have a refreshed focus but failed very quickly and miserably 2 days in a row. Monday and Tuesday at work were very stressful and I fell into comfort eating. Not that I ate too much but I ate things I am trying to ward off.....sugar.

At the hospital there is always candy sitting around the nurses station and my office. I did grab a few pieces. Even for lunch on Monday I had brought my lunch but by the time I went to the cafeteria I was wanting something comforting not my light soup and cottage cheese. I ended up buying loaded baked potato soup and then ate my cottage cheese and yogurt. I know I didn't eat badly but I did not follow my plan and I caved to emotional eating, even if it wasn't a bowl the size of a kiddie pool.
Anyway, that is how my week has been going. I will continue to try to break this behavior.

No exercise so far this week either. Monday night my L knee was swollen and very tender. This is an injury about 4 years old now but I guess I did something to aggravate it. I have not been able to climb stairs or bear all my weight on it. It is feeling better today though.

Until next time...............

I am just sitting here thinking about where I am in my weight loss endeavor. Not very far from where I was 5 months ago.

I can truly say the injuries really set me back and now that I am recovered for the most part, getting my will and mind to jump start has been difficult. I have literally tried to diet every week since the first of the year, losing and gaining about 5 pounds over and over again!

Being diagnosed with hypoglycemia has really thrown a wrench into things for me. I still have not found a truly good eating plan for myself to ward off blood sugar drops. The every 3 hour snack would seem like something I would enjoy but so often because of busy-ness, it gets passed by.

I would ask that all of my friends out there they may read this to please pray for my perseverance to complete my goal. Pray that I would be Christ centered and seek after His righteousness.
