1,300

I get to eat 1,300 calories a day now.

Let's just let that sink in.

Ok. I went to the doctor on Friday and learned that I've got some female problems and really needed to modify my diet (even further- siiiigh) if I wanted to be healthy again. Let's be honest, this kind of sucks. I have a bad heart genetically speaking, too. I've overhauled my eating for this entire year and my cholesterol numbers were still bad. (I did get my blood pressure back down to "perfect" so that was a positive.) That kind of stuff is enough to make me step away from the candy dish and onto the treadmill. Today was my first real day of commitment to the new diet and so far, so good. Jackson was so funny this morning when he said, "I've been thinking about your cholesterol and think you should start eating Cheerios!" HA! Thanks, babe. (That conversation only made me feel 82 instead of 28.)

Female problems? Yep. As it turns out my biggest fear- having a baby- is impossible at this time as my inside parts don't work properly right now. Bummer, right? I know. I'm only bummed because this issue is what is causing my issues with dropping weight. Honestly. I'm so annoyed. No, the doctors still won't remove my uterus as much as I beg. I cannot believe that not dropping my eggs is making me gain weight. I suppose this is a lesson in being careful what you wish for, right? I guess I won't wish for my girls not to work so that I can be thin. ;):)
