No Gain, No Pain

Did my second weigh in this morning. Bad news is I didn't lose any weight. Good news is I didn't gain any either... I mean... that IS good news, right?

I forgot to take pictures this morning of where I'm at... so... here's me messing around at Old Navy.

This week was a bit hard on me, emotionally. I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday, a call with the results on Wednesday, and an appointment next Friday to find a specialist who can confirm the first doctor's results with more tests. I don't have medical insurance so I go to a free clinic and they can't really do all the tests... I'm hoping that they can find someone I can afford.

Bottom line is, they're worried I have diabetes.

That was extremely hard for me to write.

I probably cried for half an hour after they called me.

I don't feel like I do... but really, how would I know? I've put on A LOT of weight since high school and I do definitely feel different than I did back then... even different from 3 years ago. So maybe that "different" is diabetes? I don't know.

I DO know that even the past two weeks of watching what I eat (not just eating whatever, but making mindful choices) has given me more energy and changed... everything.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this post... *FOCUS*

So I didn't lose any weight this week but I didn't gain any either. I have more energy. And I definitely feel stronger even if I slacked on the exercise for a few days.

My goal is to get back on track this week.

OH. And I promised info from the research I'm doing into eating habits and fitness. Well... I have TONS of info. Hopefully I'll post some stuff next week.

Have a great weekend everyone!
