OH the agony of defeat.......

I was doing well. Last week I was on a natural high so to speak. This week, not so much. Not only did I gain....GRRRRR, but when I got the results of my blood test it was back down to 1.8. WTH!!!! I admit I cheated the weekend BEFORE by eating two egg rolls but geez. I know they have cabbage which is a no, no, right now because of my blood thinner that I am on but I thought that little bit shouldn't hurt me. I had the rest of the week to go and didn't eat any other green veggies. Boy was I wrong. I have to be very diligent and not eat ANY more vegetables. I do not want to set my heart procedure back AGAIN!!!! I have to have a level between 2 and 3 for the next 3 weeks or it will be set back. It is so much harder than I thought avoiding veggies. I didn't really eat that many to begin with. Even though I am having just a slight bit here and there it is screwin' up my program.

I think I am going to attempt to get onto the treadmill again. My foot has been good the past 4-5 days with only minor irritation so I am going to give it a whirl. I like to walk while I watch what I have recorded on the DVR. It really makes the time see a lot more effortless. Otherwise I think about it alot more and the drive kinda dwindles. I don't like that. It makes me feel so much more lazy like. I am looking for some specifi inserts for my shoes that I found, but just like any other time I am looking for anything specific it is not available unless I order it online. I read and re-read customer reviews on orthotic inserts and I am really leaning towards the inserts by Spenco. They look so much more comfortable and they even have them for kids. I might even get the kids some when the paycheck will allow it. Money is as tight as spandex on my fat ass, and that ain't a good thing. That is why I am trying my hardest to keep myself on track with the diet, or WOE, as us chunks are supposed to put it. I just joined a challenge today and my goal is 20 pounds in 7 weeks. I know for a fact that I can do better than that if I am extremely well behaved, but that tends to get boring. I will try for the sake of my health and the enjoyment I will get out of it. A monetary reward would work out rather nicely too if anyone feels compelled to donate towards my cause. :)
