5 pound gain and a more positive outlook!

I am one lucky person. I have such a great support system around me. I gained 5 pounds this week and yet I lost 7 last week. Its extremely discouraging to step on the scale and see almost nothing happen especially when your life depends on it. No, I’m not going to die anytime soon but if I don’t lose this weight I will die at an early age. I am 27 years old and I have high blood pressure, I’m pre diabetic, and I get cysts on my uterus and ovaries. The latter may not be due to weight but my doctor said that weight loss will help especially if I want children because those symptoms could lead to polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) I haven’t been tested yet because I don’t have the finances. My husband and I are on a tight budget with no health insurance so its a little tough to get all of our health issues under control. He has type 2 diabetes himself and the only thing we know that will help with most of it is to lose the weight; which is why we are determined to do this.  It i...

Hey guys I apologize for the delay I just got really lazy this last week. As mentioned before I have been editing for a local production company. They really like my work so I am super excited, I hope they continue sending me more videos to edit. What else do I have? Oh yeah I lost 7 lbs last week because I helped some friends move and let me tell ya, it was quite the workout! I’m finally down to 260.8 lbs my goal this week is to step on the scale and at least be 258, big goal 255 we’ll see. I’m not going back up. Ron and I started doing P90X yesterday because he never gets home in time to go to the gym; I happen to have it so I got it out and said lets do this! I’m still working towards my goal to do a 5k; therefore, I had visited the gym earlier yesterday evening so I got my butt kicked. Today I will go do a walk around Piedmont Park with a galpal of mine that is doing a 5k with me. If you are in the Atlanta are and are interested check it out we are doing the http://www.hotchocola...

Craziness

Life has been quite crazy here at the Carlson household. We went to Dragon*Con two weeks and it was awesome. Yes I did gain 2 lbs because we drank and partied but the next week I lost 3lbs so it evened out. We did a lot of film stuff because I wanted to make some connections and it ended up working out really well. I learned a lot about my trade and even got an internship. They're trying me out right now and hopefully it will grow into more! I haven't updated lately because life hasn't slowed down since then. The following week after Dragon*Con I was emailing back and forth with the company and then cleaning up the house and that next weekend my brother had an emergency appendectomy so I had to drive down to the hospital. He's in the military so those calls get scary sometimes but luckily he's stationed fairly close to us and it was only an infection in the appendix. They took it out and he's now recovering and doing well. Anyway, I do have a new recipe that I...
