Day 23

So I can no longer drink alcohol without serious consequences. One drink may be fine, but no more. This alone will hopefully help me lose some weight. I have been busy running and trying to eat well. Today, I was tempted and gave in - 3 cookies. They were yummy. 39-32-42

Day 18

Okay, so I have now been on this medication for a couple of weeks. I am running 5days a week without two days in a row off. My legs hurt. I have weighed myself: 182.6. Let's see if anything starts happening. Have I mentioned that it is Halloween time and I love candy??? Will power sucks. My meds are making me hungry (that and the exercise) but I have refrained from increasing my calories. Trying to keep them under 1800 a day (since I refuse to starve myself). This is not easy. I hope to have results soon. 39-36-42

Day 6

Well, I am now (as of this morning) on my full dose of metformin. I have done my exercising this week and have eaten right. I did have two glasses of a really yummy French white wine yesterday (Damn you Kate and your peer pressure). I can tell the medicine is influencing how I metabolize alcohol. I could really feel my two glasses. Usually it takes most of a bottle.
The afternoon.... my stomach hurts. I should not have eaten the candy. Bad idea.

Day Two-

So I have started my new regime. This is Day two of my medicine. So far so good. My legs hurt from running two days in a row. I will double my dosage tomorrow and see what (if anything) that does. Fingers crossed.
