I have a back story but I have listed all those issues keeping me from going forward every time that I restart and have decided I can't look in the past. So, here I am starting a new page here and I am going to only talk about my journey from when I started in Jan 2014.
Over Christmas I went back home to Texas and I gained a lot of weight in two weeks. My husband was deployed so that is what I did to cope. I came home and decided it was time to get some stuff accomplished and weight loss was at the top of the list. After talking with my husband about something he was doing over seas, I decided to look into the 80/20. I probably do more 70/30 but it works for me right now. I wanted to do paleo but I love my cheese (in moderation of course) and grains. Doing paleo to a T meant I had to give up my grains, and dairy and I just knew if I had to do that I would fail quick. So Jan 20, 2014 I started what I like to call my self, an aspiring paleo.
I have always said that i am happy with my weight as long as it does not affect my health, well that is what made this change for me. My health was starting to go bad. Before Christmas I found out I have high blood pressure and was put on medications to have that lowered. After Christmas I found out that I am pre-diabetic. I am sitting on that fine line of could be one or wont be one. I was given the medication Metformin to help keep me from crossing that line, it also has helped me lose the weight I have thus far. I am not perfect. I started diet and relied too much on the pill to help me lose the weight I started noticing that I was slipping off the diet I need to be on. It wasn't horrible because unlike times before I didn't gain any weight back, I just maintained. So here I am today April 9, 2014 deciding today is the day to get 100% back on track.
This blog will be my little diary, food tracker, weight tracker, and share recipes that I love.
I hope you enjoy my blog and thank you for sharing in my journey and showing support.
