I think the working out I’ve been doing has been starting to work. I’ve also been watching what I eat even more closely (though I really don’t eat badly to begin with), and while I haven’t replaced the battery in my scale at home, the last time I went to my rheumatologist I was down somewhere in the 4-5 pound range, which definitely made me feel good.

I haven’t worked out in about a week or so, though. Taking care of Joe and Lucy was so tiring, I just didn’t have the energy! Plus, I didn’t really have the time. I was a busy woman!

My plan is to start back with it now. I just hate that it’s so slow to get the weight off. I’m so tempted to add diet pills to my regime to speed it up a bit. I guess I’ll just have to be patient.
