Phentermine Week 4
I have to say I'm very pleased with my progress so far! Whew thank you Jesus! Hard for me to believe the weightloss would happen this fast. The stressing, worrying, and not to mention the discomfort from carrying the extra weight was definitely my downer. The Lord definitely heard my cries, prayers, and answered them. I visited my doctor the other day and was approved for a refill for the Phentermine. He noted my blood pressure was slightly elevated but still within the normal range.
Now that my summer break is over my classes will resume here soon. Trying to mentally prepare because I know my will power will be challenged. Dealing with all the hustle and bustle of parenting, and the never ending chaos that comes with working in a public school lets me know I'll most definitely be in for a treat (NO PUN INTENDED LOL)! I'm certain the true challenge will happen once I'm officially off the medication, so we'll see! I'm praying I've learned moderation and bracing myself for when the cravings are said to return. One day at a time is all I can say. Gotta remember that it's MIND OVER MATTER. The things I'll need to remember (which I believe) that aided in my weightloss are:
- Eliminate pork- That was a difficult one and it took me a while to do, but quitting was not as bad as a thought.
- Limit red meat- That was even harder which is why I limit it.
- Limit starches
- Limit breads
- No sugary drinks (orange, grape, apple juices are kept to a strict limit) and if I do crave a sweetened drink, only a few drops of a water enhancer is added to my water
- Drink plenty of water
- Exercise 5X a week, at least 1 hour per day
- Count Calories
- No alcohol or medication other than the Phentermine
- No fried foods- grilled and baked only
- Fruits! Watermelon and peaches were my summer favorites
- Prayer, prayer, prayer
