Month 3

I can't believe it's been 3 months already! It feels like it went by so fast and now summer is officially over, which means the air is cold and rainy and I don't feel like running, or exercising outside at all. In fact my exercise has really slowed down and I'm barely making it 3x a week. I really need to figure out how I'm going to make it through the winter months, because my fitness goals are important to me. I plan to work out inside at home using youtube videos on my TV, so I really need to step it up. If I get into the habit of doing it now, it will become easier to do for the rest of my life. That way I will have a much better chance for long term success, which is the point to all this right?

So now the numbers:
I weigh 175lbs as of this morning 10/3/14. It's a few pounds shy of what I was planning (only lost 7lbs this month). The weight loss has slowed down a bit, which is normal, from what the doc said. If I continue to exercise it will make more muscle, and burn more calories. I also need to get back on track w/my eating. I've been eating a lot more carbs than I should. I still have an ulcer, but my symptoms have improved slightly.

My fibromyalgia has really been affecting me, as well. I have been so achy and sore, and tired. I think partly because my meds aren't being absorbed the way they used to be because of my stomach. I plan to talk to my doc about this at my next appointment in a few weeks, to see what he says. There is a new med out that is extended-release, which I'm considering trying. My joints are also in a lot of pain. This is another part of why I haven't been running very often. My feet are killing me, especially when I wear shoes.
