Well, it's been a few days since I last posted. I have been under the weather and had a bad reaction to a port wine I used in the crock pot resulting in a migraine aura episode and vomiting. My weight has been up and down between 207.8 - 210.2.
I have been thinking the last few days about the two camps of daily weigh-in's vs weekly (those freaks who weigh monthly or don't use scales can pound sand...that's just nuts).
I understand the thinking behind weighing monthly but I weigh daily. As a former patient of Dr. Michael Anchors, I learned that weighing daily allows me to understand my bodies natural fluctuations. It also allows me to see an increase when it happens and not a week or more later. It is so easy to fall off the wagon but who wants to go chasing that wagon once it is a week ahead of you? Wouldn't it be easier to jump back on right away?
When I began this blog and my New Years resolution to be healthier, I planned on following a Paleo?Primal diet and going back to Dr Anchors and using Phentermine after I wean my breastfed daughter this coming spring.
Then my mom sent me a book called, The Plan by Lyn-Gentry Recitas. It is a brand new publication and is catching on like wildfire. I am only a few pages in and it already really resonates with me. I think I am hooked. I really need and want to lose weight. Even moreso though, I need to feel good again. I need to not ache. I have been dealing with blood sugar issues, itchy skin, GI distress, bloating, disabling migraines and joint pain. And I am only 38 years old.
Let's hope "The Plan" is the answer.
