Today I jumped on the scale & to my surprise…
I was a whopping 225lbs! YES. 5lbs heavier than before I started working out? What gives??? So I found this on the Glucerna website and it calmed me down.
HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT WHEN YOU HAVE DIABETES?
- Stick with the measuring tape. When it comes to shedding body fat, the scale isn’t always your friend. Keep in mind that the best way to slim down is to change your eating habits while increasing physical activity. Exercising, however, builds muscle mass — and that’s a good thing. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns at rest. But because muscle weighs more than fat, seriously increasing your muscle mass will cause your weight to go up. So don’t be fooled by the number on the scale. Relying on a measuring tape will let you keep an eye on the inches you lose around your waist, hips, thighs, and upper arms.

Return To Eating Un-healthfully? I Don’t Think So!
That uncovered a mission: Glowing til I get Green!
During a weight loss coaching course that I’m taking through Lana Perry Consulting. I started to realize that the reason why I was unhappy with where I currently was in life. Lied much deeper than what was just on the surface. Dealing with excess weight gain, hair loss, swelling, inflammation & irritability is/was the way that my body responds to toxicity in my environment. Realizing that toxicity can come in many forms, it can be airborne, in the foods we eat, liquified in the beverages we drink or “energized” in the emotions we put out into the universe! Ie: Toxic, Negative People. And for me that was just the issues boiling on the inside!
The series of stressful life-events that took place on the outside were enough to make any strong-willed person an insane & emotional wreck. From having a new baby and the challenges that go with that. To co-existing with my in-laws in their home, compromising comfort in an effort to save and build a financially stronger future. To balancing my emotional inner-peace and joy with my husband and my physical health. My ONLY answer was to get back to basics, transforming my once Glamorous life “Green!”
