No Longer a Loser

Well, at least not in the contest at work. I was so busy on Monday that I forgot to get weighed and Tuesday when I was off, I didn't make it to work for the weigh in. Too bad. I knew I wasn't going to win the $500 anyway. I mean, when a big fat buy in IT loses 12 pounds in a week, well, my little 2 pounds wasn't going to get me a prize.

I'm going to continue to monitor my weight and hopefully head off the inevitable. by inevitable I mean, my future cause of death. Yes, I already know how it's going to happen. Well, not the details but I'm sure it'll be one of these things: heart disease, hypertension or diabetes. Both my parents have them. So, chances are pretty good that I'll have them too. I really just want to avoid having to take a fistful of pills in the few years (or sooner, God forbid).

So far, weight has remained the same. Just had an MRI of my back to find out why it hurts me so badly. Hopefully next week I'll have some answers when I go back to the ortho guy. THEN maybe I can get some treatment that will help me get back to exercising.

My eating plan includes being vegetarian throughout the day and only having meat at dinnertime. There are very few exceptions to that. This week we did go out to lunch but I started off with a protein packed vegetarian dish of edamame salad. It was tasty and healthy too! I may have to seek out some edamame recipes.

I'll get on the scale tomorrow and then I'll have some idea of where I stand.
