Change has began

Change has began

     As many of you know, I have been doing the Keto Diet since Aug 3rd. I am down 28 lbs and 59 1/2 in inches.   I have not had a soda in 3 months.  I know that I am suppose to be proud of myself. I really don't know how to.  The reason I said is because, when I was younger and in Elementary, Middle and High school.  I was picked on  & bullied for the way I looked.  And I lost my self-esteem.  

     When I tell someone, how much I have lost.  They are like Yeah!  You are looking awesome!  However, I don't see it.  And I don't feel it.  But, I put on my Happy face and go with the flow.  

     I guess since I have always been so big and on the heavy side.  I couldn't picture myself being on the small size.  I think if I lost down to my goal weight, I would look on the sick side.  My goal is to lose more than 150 lbs.  I'm trying to change my life around.  

     Even with an injury, I have been still trying to compete in the 35 mile Breast Cancer Challenge that expires on October 31st.  Then I will start another challenge on Nov 1st, which is called the NC 60 mile challenge.  I don't know what I have got myself into.  But I am determined to do it.  

     I don't know if I will have support or not.  It really doesn't matter.  I will kick some butt by myself.  However, I can't over extend my knee/ leg until I find out what the heck is going on. Please continue to  send thoughts and prayers.  Thank you all for your support.

Feeling Frustrated!!!

Feeling Frustrated!

I have been working so hard since Aug 2020.  I have been very constant with everything that I have been shown. I have lost a total of 56 1/2 inches & 26 lbs.  That was at last Saturday. 

 I thought I would try something new.  So on October 1st, I started the 35 mile breast cancer challenge.  It goes from Oct 1 - Oct 31.  So, I started walking 30 minutes after work and then I got brave and started jogging from one parking spot to another. I did that 2 times each.  To the point I was up to jogging 6 parking spots.  I would get home and relax and my left knee starting hurting.  With the times that I have walked, I have done 14.99 miles - so I have 20.01 miles left to go.  So, I would ice it.  Then I would use the tens machine.  

On Friday, October 12, I woke up and my left knee was swollen.  So, I went to the ER and the they said that I needed to relax my knee and go to see an orthopedic doctor.  So this past Tuesday, I went to see the doctor.  She told me that she didn't like the way it looked.  Now, I have to wear a brace until Oct 26.  That is when I am doing an MRI.

However, I can still walk but very little.  Right now, I am chilling and relaxing.
