Day 36

Got back on the bandwagon today. I worked out for the first time in 5 days. Finally! I was starting to feel guilty for not getting back to it sooner. I managed to pick up right where I left off. I jogged for 20 minutes out of my 50 minute workout, went 3.65 miles and burned 408 calories. My left hip was hurting pretty bad towards the end and still hurts a little but I experienced the same thing when I first started walking. I think the pain will go away soon. It feels good to be back in the saddle again!

I had an appointment with my endocrinologist today. She was impressed with my dieting and exercising. I'm down 12 pounds from my last visit back in January. :) She said the diet, exercise and Metformin should all help to lower my testosterone levels and that another baby could be possible. :) Just have to get rid of another 41 pounds before we start trying. That's my goal anyway. Speaking of which, I finally came up with the rewards I want when I lose 30 & 40 pounds. I want a new pair of nice sunglasses at 30 pounds and a new hairdo/makeover at 40 pounds. Better go back and edit my post so I'll remember these!

I did well on my diet today. I decided at lunch that my new favorite vegetable is jicama. I mean, I've had it before but it's like a new discovery. So tasty and refreshing. Dammit, why didn't I buy any at the store tonight? Anyway, here's what I ate:

BREAKFAST:
-lo-carb strawberry yogurt
-1 apple

LUNCH:
-leftover chicken salad
-veggies w/ranch (carrots, celery, jicama, green pepper,orange pepper & sugar-snap peas)
-s.f. cherry pomegranate

DINNER:
-leftover mushroom ragu
-1 slice leftover beef tenderloin
-leftover caponata
