Something New

As many of you know that I have been doing the Keto diet, with the help of a dear friend- Kristy Albright.  I have been doing this since August 3rd.  I have lost 19 lbs & 47 inches.   I have had some really good days.  And I have had some set backs.  Well, today I had a good day.

I went to work, I had so much energy after work that I went on a 30 minute walk.  I even did a little bit of jogging.  I know coming from me that is a miracle.  

The following picture is what I did today.  

Then starting tomorrow, I will be doing the 35 mile virtual breast cancer challenge.  It goes from Oct 1 - October 31.  I will be doing the challenge in support of my Aunt who is a Breast cancer survivor.  

I would like to thank everyone for their support and continued prayers.  I will keep everyone updated.

Weight Loss & Being Confused

 

Weight Loss & Being confused

     

     Someone asked me to write about my weight loss journey.  I have tried several times. I don't even know where to start.   It must be my shy personality.  I don't like to talk about things.  When there is change, I will keep it to myself until I hit my goal.

                                                   

     I can stand in front of a mirror and say, I don't like the way I look.  I know someone world tell me to stop talking about myself, that way.  I can't help it.  I have had my feelings hurt, so many times.  That I have tried my best to recover from it.  Some people may understand me, however I am a hard person to figure out

     I have been a hard person to figure out for as long as I can remember. But, I have been on the overweight size/ plus sizes, since I was younger.  I have always wanted to be invisible.  I hate being center of attention or put on the spot, to where everyone would be looking at me.  However it never worked.   

     The reason I am saying this is because in June 2019, I went to the doctor's for a checkup.  She challenged me to a weight loss goal.  I accepted the challenge.  However, I didn't do my part.  I went back in April of 2020, after the Pandemic started.  She wasn't very happy.   Then a couple of weeks later, my sister Heather, had a stroke.  She is only 39 years old.  So, with the stress of the pandemic and the stress of Heather and her stroke.  I started stress eating and gained 20 lbs.

     So, I had a scheduled a checkup with my doctor.  I knew she was not going to be happy with my weight.  So, I talked to a friend her name is Kristy.  I asked for help.  She asked me to do several things for her.  I told her okay and did what she has asked.  My starting weight was 357 lbs.  I have lost a total of 7 lbs. I have lost 38 inches.  My goal is UNDETERMINED , right now. But, my main thing is to get more active with my son & to get into a little black dress - that I have only wore once (17 years ago).

     I will keep everyone updated & I would like to thank everyone in advance.
