Hey, I think I lost some weight. Remember I said that I’d gained a little bit of weight lately due to being so sick and not moving around as much? Yes, thank you Crohn’s disease – not.
I don’t weigh myself. One of my doctors weighs me regularly and that’s enough for me. I’ve always had a fear of the scales – even when I was a major bean pole.
I have noticed over the last week or so that my pants and other clothing seems loser. So yeah, I’ll take that as proof that I’ve lost a bit of weight.
I don’t eat much thanks to the Crohn’s disease. Inactivity is my main problem since I feel so awful most of the time. I guess I have been more active over the last few weeks thanks to Spring having arrived. I’ve been out in the garden tidying it up and walking the dog a little more often. It must be working.
I want to be back in shape by the time the hot weather gets here. Heck, I even considered trying Orovo but I’m not much for taking pills to boost my energy. Its the pain that’s the real problem. If I could get rid of that I’d be back to my old self in no time at all.
Anyone else trying to lose a few pounds by dieting or increasing your activity levels?
Yes, I’m trying to lose weight because we are doing a “biggest loser” competition at my work, and we all put in 5 bucks and then we each chip in a dollar on Wednesday at the weekly weigh-in. The weigh in is private and only our boss records the number, she doesn’t share it with anyone. We all set a weight loss goal and the ones who meet their goal on June 10th get to split the kitty. Pretty exciting, really!
I’m doing some juice fasting that seems to really work good in the short term, but I struggle with my eating habits after that. The fasting is actually really easy…it’s the eating healthy after that that’s difficult.
