Getting Started

I've had a stressful week, half good and half not. The good part is I've started to lose weight! I'm waking up and going to bed earlier!
I track what I eat with a calorie counter and the accountability has really helps. Almost 5lbs since last week!
I have had less stress at home or maybe I'm ignoring it more. Classes and work stress me so very much but I'm working on it.
I still haven't gone running or to the gym. I've had a slight flare this week that I haven't been motivated enough to work through.

In the Beginning...

It was almost a year ago when I was diagnosed with lupus, for a couple of years I had been in the worst depressive fog, doing nothing. Seeing nothing. Just getting by with small jobs and consistently flunking school.
I'm getting better now. I go outdoors without becoming ill. I'm happier. I pay more attention to the things around me, including to his chagrin my boyfriend.

Since Ive developed lupus and a gluten intolerance Ive become fat! A size 4-6 to a size 12-14. I have no motivation to exercise or change!

But I'm pushing myself to get back on track!


By the way I've never been more embarrassed over a picture.
