Protein
Is it possible to eat too much protein? I have cut my carbs way down, no pasta, no rice, no potatoes and very little bread if any. I am a type 2 diabetic taking Trulicity. My A1C went from 7.1 to 6.1 in 1 month with meds and my 33lbs weight loss. I am very happy but I am wondering if eating all this protein is hurting me?…

Anyway, yesterday I did a corn maze from HELL with my son, this maze was up and down hills, hard terrain with rocks and just sandy as hell. We were in there for 1hour and 15 minutes 14 acres of corn stalks and I did it. We got out of the maze without…

Going to Vent a little
Why can I not get out of bed in the morning and go to the gym. I purposely went to bed at 8:30pm last night so I could get up at 4:45am to hit the gym so I am home in time to get kids up and ready for school, get lunches made and myself ready for work. What time did I get up? 6:00am. I have no time to do anything at that…

I keep sabotaging myself
Why the hell am I doing this. I eat good all day. I log it. I stay under goal. Then I go home. I pig out. I eat all kinds of crap. I know I look horrible, and I feel horrible but yet I sabotage myself when I am at home. What the hell is wrong with me? Ugh rant over. Thank you for letting me do so.

My eyes are WIDE open now
Ok so I had three wide eye opening experiences the last two days. Yesterday a car at work parked so close to mine I couldn't get in. I could open the door but I was too large to squeeze through. I did manage to climb in from passenger side but struggled. Then today I got on the scale and was just shocked at what the number…

How is it EVEN Possible

BLAH!! What did I do wrong?
So last night I made Stove Top Turkey Muffins, BLAH!!!! They are super dry and hard like a rock. I followed the directions not sure what happened to them. They need a TON of gravy but that would defeat the purpose now wouldn't it, LOL!! So I am sitting here at work, starving trying to muscle these down.

Feeling so down
I've been thinking of seeing the doctor about a gastric bypass. I said I would NEVER do it because it is such a risky surgery and if not careful you balloon right back up, but I don't think I can do this on my own. The more I try, the more I fail. Im having a hard time finding foods that are convienent and will keep me…

Stress is killing me
I wish I wasn't one of those that stress ate but rather couldn't eat at all. I have so much going on right now. I want a divorce, I want to leave, but I have no money and no place to go with my kids. He will NOT leave and doesn't want a divorce. We are broken why can't he just accept that. So what do I do, I eat, and I eat…

UGH so fed up with myself

I know this is a crazy question
but I'm going to ask anyway. I started back at the gym yesterday. I woke up today in pain. My legs, stomach, arms, shoulders. Anyway, my question is when you are sore from working out, does that mean you did something wrong with the workout, or is it a good thing because you actually worked those muscles. I know crazy…
