This will likely never happen again. Posting TWICE in as many days. It's a miracle.
This won't be a long post, I've just got some exciting news and I want to share it! (Well, I think it's exciting, you may be less enthused. )
Ok drum roll please. .. . . . . I lost 5 pounds! WOOT! I have been battling my weight and weight related diseases for a while now and no diet that I went on has seemed to work. Weight Watchers, no carb, low carb, whole wheat. . . . I gained more than I lost. Over christmas I was diagnosed with weight related asthma and my doctor told me that I had to lose weight or I'd mostly likely have type 2 diabetes with in the next 5 years. Finally getting diagnosed with a weight related disease and seeing that type 2 was in my very near future kicked me into gear. I joined Curves. It's a gym designed for women. There's a diet portion of it called Curves Complete and joined that as well. So far it's been going really well. I like CC much better then Weight Watchers because it's slightly more restrictive. I found with WW (hmmm. . .I just noticed they are both alliterations) it was to easy for me to go over points and that I got sick of keeping track of them quickly. With CC they give you a meal plan. You can change that meal plan and finagle it to some degree but it gives you recipes and says 'this is what you are going to eat the next week.' No calculating point, or counting carbs or calories. Just print out my recipes and go. The recipes are really good to, most of it is portion control. There's an eating out portion and it has TV dinners on there too. The other part of CC that I love is that it's connected to the gym Curves. Something that I feel WW is really lacking. I know in WW you can earn more points by doing exercise and such, but it's all on your own time. CC is connected with a gym and comes with a gym membership. I love it!
