Selections from historical journal entries.
9.24 Just got back from spending two nights in Branson to celebrate Pat’s birthday. What a glorious time away. I have decided that my reward for every 25 pounds I lose is going to be kidnapping my darling for a weekend! Can’t think of anything that will be more motivating! I bought new gym shoes and broke them in walking all over Branson. I will not be discouraged that the scale says that I have gained even more weight. I will not, I will not, I will not!
I heard from the personal trainer, Joe, today. He told me that one of the reasons I might not be losing weight is if you cut too many calories with PCOS the body will work hard to store fat. I will be the last to die in a famine!!!!! He sent me a personalized diet plan for the first 30 days and a specific exercise/cardio plan! When I read the title, “Personalized Diet Plan for Larla Bogle”, I cried. Hope continues to show up. Eating six times a day will be an adjustment. I start tomorrow!
9.26 I cannot believe how much I am supposed to eat with this nutrition plan! This fat lady has never eaten so much food in a day in her life! I was relieved when Joe said I could cut back on some of the amounts. This is so different. Mind boggling that eating more and more often and not too long before I go to bed might actually help me lose weight! I feel like Alice in Wonderland after she fell into the rabbit’s hole. This is very backwards. This plan is about eating enough in the right combinations instead of not eating. Mind blown!
My blender broke this morning. I am proud of myself. Because of Pat’s encouragement, I invested in myself and got a good one. Mean Girl voice was strangely quiet. If that doesn’t show a change in attitude I don’t know what does.
9.28 It happened. My internal alarm clock is officially reset to 5:30! Good news - I am waking up right before the alarm so Pat isn’t disturbed and going to work out is now a habit! Bad news – there is no snooze button or way to not wake up at 5:30 on the weekends. How I wish there was!
