Full Disclosure

I haven't talked about my weight loss recently... and it's because I've been gaining some of it back. 


It all started when the symptoms of what I now know is a herniated disc in my neck, started show it's self.  In July I went through a period of time where I thought was either having a heart attack or a panic attack.  I still feel that way sometimes but now I know it's all side affects of the herniated disc. It was a scary time. 


I quit smoking too in early July, and was put on steroids for a week, so that added to the initial gain. And I would have been fine with that initial 5 to 7lb gain.  But I think now I'm somewhere up to around 15 or 20lbs gained. I won't weigh myself, at least not yet (waiting until I feel like I'm losing again).  But I have measured and I've gained at least an inch in each the 4 major areas.  Some of it is due to the gain, some of it is due to being unable to exercise. 


On Friday January 6th I'm having a steroid injected into the herniated disc.  I'm hoping that will alleviate the symptoms enough so that I can at least start walking again.  


So today, after a trip to so see Chipwrecked, I will start my food prep for the week and grab my copy of DANDR and get this fat burning machine back into gear!
