A Visit to the Dr & A Night Out with Husband!

Well, in my last entry...which I know has been a while back...I was talking about how I had a hard time finding motivation for my weight loss. A few years back, I had my wedding to get ready for...perfect motivation there! But, these days, don't really have anything like that to really pump myself up for and keep me focused.

I know usually you put the moral of the story at the end, but I've never been one to do things in the right order. My moral happens to be age old advice...be careful what you wish for.

As some of you reading who are on my friend's list on CafeMom may know, I had a doctor's appointment on Friday. It has been FOREVER {like 4 years} since my last visit with our family doctor. So we had A LOT of catching up to do.

The big thing was that my doctor is suspecting that I may have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome {pcos}. And like any other respectable "digital mom" would do...as soon as I got home I hopped on the internet to find out what that really means.

I found out that pcos explains a lot of the things that I have dealt with most of my life.

SO, now I have the motivation to loose my weight. Not exactly what I was hoping for or even looking for...but, whatever works I guess. My doctor and I talked about loosing weight. I told him that I had done the Atkin's diet before, and he is a supporter of this diet...so Atkins will be my "diet" of choice this time around.

Last night, Danny took me out as a kick off to my new diet. So I stuffed myself BIG TIME!!!

We started off by dropping off all four kids at my in-laws' house. Next we headed to Aldi....exciting stuff huh? What a place to go when you drop off all your kids! LoL! I had to pick up a few things for the week...we were in and out of there in like 10 mins! Then we headed over to Applebees...but there were pretty crowded...so we decided to go to Golden Corral. It was busy there too, but we waited. It was all SO YUMMY! It has been quite some time since I've been there.

After that we ran over to Meijer to pick up a couple few more things I needed for groceries. Although we did errands on our "date" night...it was great to be able to do it together...ALONE! We held hands almost the entire time we were together! It was just wonderful!

This morning I weighed myself on my scale...200.5 {which weighs in at like 7lb less than my doctors scale???}...I have walked for 30 mins around our yard, drank a 16.9 fl oz water bottle, and when Frosty is done making his breakfast...I will be making myself 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Before I eat lunch today, I will walk for another 30 mins, drink another 16.9 fl oz water bottle, and will be having tuna and a salad to eat.

Sadly, I have to make cupcakes today, but can not eat any of them. {sniff sniff} Arlee has her bridging today uptown at the park. She will be a cadette now in Girl Scouts...I'm SO proud of her!

Hopefully, before dinner I will be able to walk again for 30 mins, drink another 16.9 fl oz water bottle, and will be having baked chicken breasts and a salad to eat.

This will be the same {except for the making of cupcakes} each day for a week...until next Monday.

Well, I must hop off of here and get started on those cupcakes and make sure Arlee has the outfit she wanted to wear today washed.

Thanks for dropping by!
