Hey HWHL friends!
It's been a while for all of us! We all lead busy lives don't we? I keep checking here to see if anyone is doing anything exciting or challenging, but same as you...did not post anything...till now!
Biggest Loser update: Well, I had a little set back with my weight. I believe that my change in eating habits had my stomach confused. I gained 10 lbs in 2 weeks! I wasn't eatig badly...but still beating myself up for it. My "gut" feeling was that my gut was not processing all that extra protein I was ingesting. I had to do a tea cleans to finally get things moving in the right direction! By my wiegh in on Friday, I had lost the extra 10 lbs I had put on and by this morning I had lost the 5 more lbs that came off this month with my exercise and good eating habits! It came off as mysteriously and as fast as it came on! Finally some encouraging results!
I'm so glad I didn't give up and go back to my bad eating habits! I have to admit that I did turn to some comfort food in my depths of frustration...but not over doing it...just enough to help me feel better...then guilty about not eating the way I know would help me to be healthy.
What I find most encouraging is the shrinking numbers...from the scale and the measuring tape!
It's all good!
Jake update: Jake's blog click on this link to read the latest. Jake finished his last chemo and we are waiting to do a P.E.T. scan to make sure the tumor is dead tissue. It looks to me that the tumor is actually bigger, but if it's dead tissue, it doesn't matter. We are going to see a Urologist and hopefully have most of his hospital/doctor visits finished by the end of this month.
I'm really looking forward to things being "Normal" for a while. Won't that be nice! :)
