A strange start

It's been a very busy and interesting start to the new year.  I've been having some health issues of late (try almost all of last year), I finally couldn't deal with the pain anymore and went into the doctor at the end of December.  Some of my health issues have the doctor stumped, and 2 others were easily explained.  I have know since about September I needed to get my weight back in check...I this fall weighed in as much as the week that I delivered Gordon.  Folks - there's NO baby in there, so no excuse.  But being a mom of 4 and so busy, I usually put my needs of everyone else around me first and myself last.

God - thought otherwise. At the end of December we discovered my glucose level was pretty high.  The doctor said I was pre-diabetic...possibly a diabetic. But he wanted me to lose 10lbs in 60 days and he'd retest me to see if my numbers have gone done. If they haven't then I have to have more testing done to see if I'm indeed a diabetic.  It runs in my family - I SO DO NOT want to deal with pills (I have a hard enough time remembering to take stuff on a regular basis), or deal with needles. 

So we are doing it the natural way - Weight Watchers and exercise.  I'm only done around 5lbs, but I'll take it. :)  I need to eventually lose about 70-75lbs before my primary will be happy, and I'll be honest my self too....but baby steps.  My goal weight is between 160-170lbs. I should be lower then 160 due to my height BUT my body since having kids likes to hang out around that weight range.

The other thing we noticed is that my Thyroid is off again.  But since only one of the 2 numbers they test was off,they aren't doing anything, since the other one hasn't moved in 6 yrs.  I have a history of thyroid issues so I have mine checked regularly.

The kids are busy but doing good. Jessie is back to working on the road during the week.  But this momma isn't so concerned about being alone during the week. This momma is a GUN packing momma now. :)
