Success!

I have lost 10 lbs so far on Weight Watchers! So I'm back in the 170s for the first time since before I got pregnant with Kaylee. I had a bad week the week of Easter but back on track now. If I behave and keep tracking my points then I should be back in the 160s by my fabulous 30th birthday weekend in Las Vegas! So factoring in the birthday weekend and whatever else happens that causes me to get off track, I'm hoping to be at my goal weight by Kaylee's birthday. If I was super strict and didn't allow any straying I would be at my goal weight by the end of August. But I know that's not reasonable. But it could still happen if I also exercise. I really need to get a routine going with that.

In medical news... I went to an ENT and am now on a sinus cleansing and nasal spray routine. So much fun, let me tell ya. Not sure if it's really making me feel better. I mean I haven't gotten another cold but I've been exhausted and feel stuffed up for part of every day. He said everything sounds like allergies to him. Probably means I'll go find a new allergist soon. But not until after my next ENT appointment. He did ask if I'd ever had a CT scan of my sinuses. Kinda hoping he'll do that next time. I'd just like to make sure there's nothing wrong with my right ear. I have not what I would call chronic ear pain but definitely frequent. Then this week I went to our new primary care doc. After waiting FOREVER and consequently missing my friend at the zoo, I finally talked with the doc a bit about history and stuff. And since heart disease runs in the family he wanted to check my cholesterol. After a failed attempt to take my blood I got a second nurse and even though she got my vein quickly, she bruised me. Terrible. But I also got the results the next day. And got news that I was pretty sure was coming but just one of those things you hate to hear. My LDL (the bad cholesterol) is 129 which at the top of the optimal range. So doc said low fat diet should get it back down.

So life continues and hopefully more weight loss news soon :-)

Update

So things are moving along steadily for us in our goals to get skinny again. Weight Watchers is so much easier to follow. I have lost 8 lbs total in the first two weeks and Brent has lost 11. He has 23 to go and I have at least 30. I haven't decided on my goal weight yet but 30 would get me back to pre-Brendan weight. And that would make me REALLY happy. As far as BMI stuff goes they say I should be in the 130s. I just can't imagine myself at that weight again (I graduated high school weighing 130). So probably 145 will be fine by me. Which means I have 37 lbs to go. Actually looking forward to bathing suit season for the first time since 2009 :-) P.S. Anyone else having trouble with Blogger not posting in the format you typed in? For example, I put a space between my paragraph and this p.s. and I know it won't be there when I hit publish.
