A better day

Today was much better than Tuesday or Wednesday. I think I've finally figured out a way to handle eating broccoli -- homemade cheese sauce. I used 3/4tbsp of EVOO, 1/2tbsp of butter, 2tbsp of sour cream, and .67oz of reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese. It has 1.2 grams of carbs...and tastes amazing.

The fitness class was much smaller tonight. Rich had these /horrible/ cards. Someone would draw one and then we'd have to do whatever was on the card. To make matters more complicated - there was a card that doubled the time/reps of the next exercise and a card that required us to repeat the last exercise.  Thankfully Rich let me run on the treadmill instead of running outside. In return I tried to push harder on the treadmill.

I have had a lot of fatigue lately, so I went to the doctor -- of course I then realized I needed to talk to the doctor about 7 or 8 different problems. I had some blood drawn to check my thyroid, vitamin D levels, and to check for diabetes. I really hope I don't have diabetes.

I'm trying to look on the bright side - my highest weight was 254lbs and now I'm 238lbs, so I weight 16lbs less than my highest weight. I'm not great at cognitive-behavioral techniques, especially the cognitive part, so this is going to be complicated.
