So, my back has been getting a lot worse with pain going down my butt and leg. I had a MRI and found out that I have 2 large bulging discs. That would explain the pain I’ve been in lately. I have a very sedentary job and sitting at my desk for eight hours a day does NOT help. I have to go back to the doc next week to discuss the results and find out my options. I’ve been pretty bummed about it this weekend. And here comes the emotional eating. At least I recognized it this time. I had to take a step back and be like, I’m not going to let this slow down my progress. In the back of my mind, I can see myself looking for an excuse. I’m not going to be weak this time. I’m going to find out what exercises I can do and trudge on.

I finally made it under 250 lbs!  Yea!  I WILL NEVER RETURN!!!!  Yesterday when I weighed in I weighed 247 ( lost 3 lbs last week).  That’s just the rate I would like to lose it at.  I think 3 lbs a week is a great pace.  That makes a total of 49lbs (28 since I started in September).  I’m feeling really well. I’ve up’ed my time on the elliptical to 45 minutes.  I’ve usually been doing that 4 times a week.  I’m still following Weight Watchers.  I really enjoy going to the meetings.  It’s given me a chance to meet new people and share recipes,etc.

I have an appointment tomorrow with my OB-Gyn for a follow-up regarding PCOS.  So wish me luck.  I think I’m doing better…my face is cleared up (for the most part) and my cycles are getting shorter.  I’m thinking about getting an ovulation kit to see if I’m ovulating…but I’ve heard that they may not work for PCOS girls.  So that’s something I’m going to talk to her about tomorrow.

Biggest Loser was good.  I was glad to see Tracy finally saw the light before she left.  They are SOOO motivating.
