The day count went down the hole. heh. I decided the stuff I was taking for my metabolic syndrome / PCOS was obviously NOT doing it's intended job. I did some major researching online, took about two weeks to get it all straight, and turned to more "natural" methods.
It's working. I've lost three inches and five pounds where I was doing everything to just maintain. I'm delighted that shirts I avoided wearing are fitting again and other shirts are too loose.
We splurged and went to McDonald's today. Yeah, at this point that's splurging for us, heh. I looked at my husband after not really enjoying any of it and said "Can you believe we used to eat like this all the time?" Because we did, two or three times a week. I didn't even finish my soda because I just didn't want it anymore.
I realized I had been avoiding walking because it kills my ankles. I bought some ankle braces and am amazed at the difference. Before I would walk a few blocks and one ankle would start screaming, another couple and the other would go. It was very discouraging. Now I can walk much further at a much better pace. That makes me super happy.
At the moment I'm trying to convince my husband that despite being in an apt. we have room to put our stationary bike that languishes in storage inside. With the way the weather is right now, it seems like a strong argument. I'm not going outside for exercising today, let me tell 'ya!
We will have a easily accessible pool available for the summer. I don't know how it's going to work out with that but look forward to maybe hitting the water in the morning. We'll see.
To sum up: Five pounds lost, three inches.
Walking easier, weather not.
Inside biking a possibility.
A pool opening up soon, yeah!
