*sigh* yet another diet.
Howdy all. Yeah, it's been like a year since I wrote. So what. Shoot me.
:-)
I'll wrap it up for you: Rico got a full time job in time so I didn't have to divorce him. I'm still off work and the boys are doing well. We moved from Ann Arbor and now live in South Lyon. Jordan just started an ECDD 2 hour program at the school system here and I'm pleased so far. Our next biggest hurdle is potty training for the (mildly) autistic child. Should be an adventure.
Brandon is HUGE and is the most athletic child I've ever seen. He can sit, straddled on an over-sized play ball and roll from foot to foot without holding on. It's amazing. Developmentally he's coming along great, no problems so far. Ok, enough about them. This is about me dammit!
So I went to the doctor Tuesday and I'm in bad shape. I have an abnormal heart rhythm, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis in my back. I've also been having irregular periods. I'm starting to think I'm killing myself for the kids. I'm falling apart and I'm only 27! A nurse said to me "Well, yeah, loosing weight is hard but think how hard your life will be if you have a stroke. And your health is bad enough to make me concerned about that. Who would take care of your kids?" So I've (still reluctantly) decided I have to do something. So I'm back on a diet again. Of course I decide this on the morning that Rico is making pancakes. He NEVER cooks.
This is a diet I got from Woman's World magazine last week. It's basically a 1200 cal lower carb diet. The biggest thing will be an increase in water. I'm supposed to drink 12 cups a day. I usually drink about one. Maybe. If there is nothing else in the house. *sigh*
So wish me luck. I just had my breakfast of 2 eggs whites, one yolk and a 1/2c applesauce. I think it was supposed to be something like pineapple, but I the only fruit I have in the house is applesauce and peaches in heavy syrup. I took the lesser of two evils. Lunch is chicken and broccoli, which I'm sure I'll enjoy. *grumble*
Why can't I just exist on Pepsi Jazz, virginia slims and oreos? I'd be a much happier person.
