After a health scare, I was told I needed to change a few things. One of them being to lose the weight put on by long term Prednisone use due to a chronic illness, Sarcoidosis. At first I was angry but now I am going to start this journey and try to have some fun with it. I'll share my trials and tribulations with you all in the hopes that others know they aren't alone.

Bad, bad, blogger
I know I haven't been a consistent blogger but I have reasons. I swear! Mostly just because I haven't been a good dieter and I didn't want to admit it :)
Saturday there was a craft fair and it taught me I need to quit being such a horrible procrastinator. If I am going to be gone for the day, I need to have things ready the night before. Have vegetables cut up, a salad made or something equally as healthy. My goal is to be more organized with ready to go healthy things to eat. Each day was pretty much the same. I needed to find my motivation. Tuesday I saw the dietitian. I pretty much felt rebellious. How am I supposed to feel about eating 1/2 cup of pasta for dinner??? I feel like that will just make me more hungry! I realize I need to fill the meal with things that aren't full of carbs but all I was hearing is, "You can't have this and you can't have that.".
Today I got back on track. It's been easy since my husband and I both have bronchitis. No one feels like making anything or eating really. Another way I got back on track with was my medication. Since my son passed away I have only taken the few things that I thought I needed. My doctors would disagree since they have prescribed many more than what I as taking. That is what led up to my ER visit. I think I've still been in denial but today the chest pains (slight but still there) have caused me to take things seriously. I sat down and sorted out all my meds and filled my pill box for the first time in months. Thinking about taking them makes me nauseous but I know I owe it to my family and friends to do the right thing.
Tomorrow I will start sharing some what I hope are yummy, good for you, recipes!
