I got on the treadmill for the first time since I started this new journey and nothing tells you that you're in the worst shape of your life like a 22:00 mile. Needless to say I now have 2 goals. 1 is to get off so dang many medicines and 2 is to get a reasonable mile time. 22 minutes is far from reasonable but I guess I had to start somewhere. Hey, at least I have a lot of room for improvement!
Last time I told you I had my Dr.'s appointment. I like this new Dr. so far and I have high hopes for him helping with this. He was as unhappy with my current physical state as I was. Especially when he learned how it had begun to effect my health.
While I tried to watch what I ate and the amount I ate a little more carefully beginning the day of my Dr.'s appointment I couldn't start my new eating habits until I was able to make a trip to the grocery store. So I started my new eating habits today. The good news was I wasn't hungry at all and didn't even eat all of my allotted food. I was pleasantly surprised because I was expecting to be hungry all day long on a 1200 calorie diet. Isn't that how many calroies anorexics eat in a day?!
Now comes the hard part of sticking with everything I started today!
I'd like to end on a happy note. I've already lost a couple of pounds and it hasn't even been a week yet! And that was without the new eating habits and exercise habits! Woo Hoo!
