I visited a hand specialist to check on my "trigger finger" problem on my left hand. I ended up getting a steroid shot. I pray that this will work. My hand is bruised from the shot and it hurts. Not something I would recommend, but the alternative is out-patient surgery to remove the tendon. I really do not want to deal with that.
I signed up for a Writer's course. I thought this would be a good start with helping me look at a more creative side - a good outlet for me.
Looking forward to meeting with my personal trainer tomorrow. I like feeling as though I am actually making a change in my life. My objective is to become more active to the point that I really do not realize how active I really am. Not the sort of active where I am constantly worn out, but the one where I am out there doing something and really enjoying it.
While I was seeing the hand specialist, the doctor suggested weight loss surgery. I stated that it was a last resort. I was already working on losing weight by eating healthy, re-learning portion control, and making sure I add exercise of some sort into my daily routine. When I told her I had already lost 30 lbs since the beginning of January, I always feel I have to justify myself. The point is - I am doing it - REALLY! I have the proof with the FitBit application. Everything that goes in my mouth is registered there. My activity is registered on the application as well. I am working hard to hold myself accountable because I know I can do this. I can do it without drugs and surgery. I do not want to take the fast and quick route because it only leads to something bad.
This process forces me to relearn what I need to know to keep burning calories. Also, it will help me keep from gaining weight. I did phen-phen and it was just a tool. I started gaining weight back when I quit exercising. That is why it is so important for me to keep this up. I need to know what is at the end of this journey. What will life present to me?
