Exercise Regime and getting back to basics
Monday - Walk no less than 30 minutes
 Tuesday - Work out Video ( yoga, pilates etc) - Modified - Walk and Core work
Wednesday - Walk no less than 30 minutes
 ( Didn't do it - No quilt - tommorow is another day)Thursday - Work out Video ( yoga, pilates etc)
Friday - Walk no less than 30 minutes
Saturday - Whew nothing to do today
 Sunday - Work out video ( yoga, plates etc)-
So that is my week and carrying on with Elissa I will place little stars or something when i have completed and if I haven't you will be sure to know too. No lying here. I will be very honest about my not met goals.

Well i managed to get 4 out of the 6 goals met. What can I say, I said I would be honest. So I put alot of thought into it and I am going to strive for 3 to 4 workouts a week. Realistically anymore than that I am setting myself up to crash and burn. LOL truth hurts sometimes. But being positive on this - I can manage the 3 to 4 and anymore than that is just awesome. Wish me luck.

As per suggestion: Drum rolls please......... LOL Update time:
I know most of you have been following my progress on my personal site... which is all greatly appreciated. However, for some of you it isn't specifically clear as to my agenda on the journey of weight loss... I am standing tall this morning at 151.6 which is one hell of alot better than 149.6. I need to maintain an average of 150 lbs no less....
For those of you who know my story please skip over and move on.. LOL
I have always been a skinny kid.. yes that is true.. not unlike Moe's story.. I looked like a string bean most of my life.. until puberty kicks in and things in your life cause you to start eating for comfort... However, I did maintain pretty good until my 20's where things in life got harder an comfort food got better.. now i still didn't go over the extreme line.
but 8 years ago..... I sunk into the deepest depression of my life...I have always suffered from depression, anxiety or some sort of panic all my life...( not knowing what that is what it truely was) But 8 years ago.. what started as a simple contest and what ended up as being the most horrific experience of my life.
I wasn't feeling well aka depression.. and I was finding it harder and harder to eat as my stomach was so sore..( gastritis will do that too a person). However, thinking all it was , was stress I didn't seek medical attention.... I went on like that... Christmas came and went... and i was worse... I was dropping slight weight... not anything to great to cause alarm... but i wasn't eating alot of crap cause my stomach couldn't handle it.
Fast forward to the spring.. I am only consisting on dry fruitloops mostly, baked potatoes and i can't remember what else.. The gases in my stomach were totally excruiciating and I couldn't bare to think of what was happening to me.. I was now successfully down 60 lbs... oh yeah...... which for the most part I dropped in one month... that is a truth and a scary event....
I went for more tests than anyone can imagine... My feeling of dying wasn't there at that time.. However, doc's finally discovered that I did have gastritis and it had sucessfully been eating my stomach and oh look lets eat a hole in her throat for good measure.. Alas why i gagged everytime i tried to eat and why throwing up was the only option... the tear and hole in my esphogus was choking me and not allowing me to eat.. no wonder i could only eat certain things.. LOL
Not funny i know.. now add depression on top of drastic weight loss and what does one think you achieve..........AH Aneroxia.. great little gift this is.....it is where you look in the mirror and see someone so overweight you can't deal with them.. but meantime you are a 5 foot 10.5 girl with a size 6 figure.. ummmm. yeah...... that time was really messed up for me and only some people have heard my story...
So after being threatened by my doctor at the time that 4 more lbs and we put you in the hospital and force feed you..... I was 125 lbs at that time.....yes my legs were only as big around as my arms now.. yes every bone in my body stuck out .. and i had no energy and couldn't even go to the store alone cause a soup can tired me out.... all of these things going on, totaly depressed and more and more letting the effect aneroxia had on my brain control me......
Now for those who don't know about an eating disorder.. I hope you never have to experience how isolating that feeling is.... The one where everyone tells you, you are sickly looking, you are too thin, you need to eat ( like i didn't though.. my sister god love her was the queen of burger king and haggenda's ) and you want to laugh at them because all you see is the same person that you were..... overweight, unhappy and just whatever..
It is hard to talk about that time.. that time in my life where my sanity was greatly tested.
To let you all know.. I didn't end up in the hospital.. i fought back.. I started eating more meals a day.. made myself eat snacks etc... every week going to the doctors for weigh in....
So finally after being told by doctor YOU ARE NEVER TO GO ON A DIET AGAIN - for an eating disorder is a part of your brain... that can be flicked right back on with no problem.
So honesty time.... Weight watchers was my only option.. and i did check that out with my dr prior to starting seriously.. after i lost the first 11 lbs in one month just in competition with my sister as a joke. My body had gone up to 197 lbs...
but now we are at the danger zone level.. not to the point that it is so virtually important that i stop completely.. but that i start really watching what is going on... I have woken for the past week with unexplained bruises again.... so off to shoppers after some urging to go back on iron supplements.. yup.. i took 4 of them a day at one time.... but i am on 1 a day now for the next 30 days.. my pharmacist is nice and told me that alot of people have this issue and that it is very common.. INSERT ***SIGH*** not for everyone does it hold a trigger.
so happy to report the bruises are fading and i haven't had any new ones in 2 days..
The scales the other day showed 149.6 yes you heard me... Not a bad number .. still 25 lbs off where i was prior... but it is slipping into dangerous territory.. So i made a promise to myself and a very close confidant.. 145 and i go to see my doctor and inform her of the slipping feeling..... ask her opinions.. get some feedback.. be proactive.
So that is why my friends i have ceased my exercise regime... I have not been strict to my WW plan.. lol my cheese dog and onion rings are proof of that along with the pizza i have been inhaling......I am back up 2 lbs and that is great....
I don't want anyone to feel they need to worry about me.. that isn't why I wrote this to all of you.... I wrote this as I have been on a journey of self awareness, of finding myself.. and I am truly happy for the first time in what could be my life.....I know what it takes to stay above the waters edge on this one.. and that is by putting your story out there..
So i am telling all of you.. I believe in all of you and if anyone can obtain their dreams it is all of you........ I have obtained some of mine very recently.. .and this is my story... I am still always going to be Kari.. lol
I am just a person trying to be comfortable in my own body.. and i am almost there... so when i say i am almost in the danger zone.. I am scared.. scared of letting that disorder slip back into my brain.. slip back into existance.. and it has tried a couple of times and i have snagged it before it could..........keep up all of your great work everyone.. and thank you so much for all of your belief and for all the support i receive.. it doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated..... you are all gems to me..
Here for you always.
