Help!!! My scale is stuck!!
....okay the net just ate the post I wrote so if you read this twice I'm sorry...
I went back to the DR the other day. 3 year old and 4 year old in tow. I had forgotten what a work out it was in the winter time getting two little ones dressed in coats, hats, scarves, mittens, ect. Then getting them out the door without letting the puppy out and buckled into car seats with their coats on!! I was exhausted before we left the driveway. 1 mile to the DR office and then inside to remove all the winter clothing in the waiting room, then moving children and clothing to the triage room, then the 2nd waiting room, then the actual exam room...OMG!!! By the time the DR came in I was not exactly a happy camper.
She was surprized when I told her I wasn't sick. She had just seen me the month before for my diabetes checkup and was happy with the results. In fact now a month later my blood pressure reading was even better. My cholesterol results had come back with both levels in the acceptable range, my sugar has been in the normal range. No problems so why was I there? I told her I was there to bitch and moan because my stupid body seems to LIKE being between 179 and 175 and refuses to move away from that no matter what I do. 
We talked for over 30 minutes about my diet, my exercise (okay, I did admit I NEED to do more). She was really impressed with the things we (me and ds) eat and things we have quit eatting. SO.... her advice: Sleep more (yeah right!) and eat more fiber and fruit..... (Yep fruit....I asked about the sugar and she said the one metformin I'm taking should regulate it) Whooo hooo I haven't had a lot of fruit in a long time. Oh and I had to cross my heart and swear to get up to 10,000 steps a day again. Then surprize surprize...she wrote me a prescription for Phentermine!!! DUDE! I felt like a junkie because I really felt like I had SCORED!!!
Before you all start the lectures she already gave them to me...and I am under strict orders to show up in 1 month with more muscle mass even if my weight doesn't change. This is for 30 days to help jumpstart my metabolisim.
I've been taking them for 3 days now. I haven't felt jittery or nervous just thirsty and don't have the constant 'Need To Feed' feeling.
Oh and added Bonus!! I swear my ADD seems to be under control without that sleepy feeling that ADD meds gave me :D So maybe I'll get caught up with the laundry and stuff that keeps getting pushed to the side around here. (or maybe not! LOL)
I actually went to Krogers or as I call it Kay Rogers and bought fruit...I felt like a kid turned loose in a candy store with a $100 bill. LOL I got Bananas and dried apricots, and prunes and also almonds...(geeze they have gotten expensive!) I got 2 bags of the presliced green apples and then bought some of the low fat, low sugar, vanilla yogurt for dip :D Then I grabbed a few mean cuisines for when I get pressed for time and am tempted to grab something at the drive thru instead of eatting at home.
The greatest thing happened today also 
the SUN is OUT and it's above 40 degrees outside!! Thursday is supposed to be 70 degrees. I'm calling in sick! Nobody should get their taxes done on a 70 degree afternoon!! Baseball has started. Already! so maybe I can get out and walk while ds practices, and then we have Monster Mutt that really needs to be walked. He's over 20 lbs already and he's been dragging me around the yard! Hopefully more exercise will calm his goofy ass down!!
Okay back to exam week! I hope to catch up with everyone soon.
