So Far, So Good

It's been 5 days since I visited the doctor. I've had a total of 3 Mountain Dews, and no snacks between meals. I'm not hungry, but I sure do miss those things.

The medication the doc put me on makes me pee.....a lot. In addition to my increased water intake, I am in the bathroom several times an hour. I'm thinking of putting a TV and phone in there along with a reclining toilet seat. Make it a little more comfy, you know what I mean?

In the last 5 days, I've lost 6 pounds. Mostly water weight, I'm sure, but I'll take it. It will eventually taper off, but until then, I'm happy with it. I don't feel so bloated, and my pants already fit more comfortably.

I started walking again. My dear husband fixed my treadmill, which had been sitting broken since my last bout of weight loss. It purrs like a kitten now, and sits in the garage, calling me. I don't mind walking. I grab my MP3 player, turn it up loud and walk. I go back to my high school days with Guns and Roses, George Michael, and AC/DC, to name a few. I think my kids have caught me singing at the top of my lungs, eyes closed, huffing and puffing as I chug along my walk. Oh well, it's not like they've never seen their mother act a fool before. I'm sure it gave them a chuckle.

I've decided to reward myself (and the family too, I guess) with a night out to eat this weekend. I mean, you can't deprive yourself all the time, and I'm used to going out to eat at least once or twice a week. For being such a good girl all week, I'm going to Taco Bell, my all time favorite fast food. Oh how I am looking forward to the weekend!
