I went to the lunch support group meeting today. It was good, I really like the group. I have my 5th PCP visit tomorrow. I pray I haven't gained, not that it really matters at this point, but just don't want to.I have decided I am going to do my best to post on here at least once a week until my surgery date. I will probably continue that afterwards also, but know that I want to remember how I was feeling & look back on these blogs to do that.
I am getting excited about going to the nutrition class on April 7th. I have all my appts lined up for when I will have everything done. I have my 6th PCP visit on April 19th & my 7th & final visit on May 19th. I will have my lab work done at my PCP office on my April visit. That will be it. It is hard to believe it has gone by so quickly...I mean of course I wish it would go faster, but time has gone by faster than I thought it would.
As for my eating, I have been drinking a protein shake for breakfast for the past month. I really enjoy them & they keep me full for about 4 hours. I have been increasing my protein intake as well. I have decided that I am going to consume some protein at each meal/snack. At the support group meeting today we were given 2 goals for the week. 1) increase protein & 2) move more. I am going to continue to do my 30 min of walking each day however, I am also going to add 1 of my 15 min breaks a day to walk also, either morning or afternoon...that would give me 45 min of cardio, at least, each day.
We are working alot of overtime at work so it hard to get in more than the 30, but I am going to do my best to get in at least 60 min a day, 2 days a week (M-F), then on Sat, I can add something else like a cardio DVD.
I have a spin bike & I need to get my butt on it. I know I have to build up on that though. I miss the days of spin, when I was addicted to it & would go to 2, sometimes 3 classes a day. The classes were 45 min each. My legs looked pretty good for the first time in my life.
Well I guess that is about it for now. I will check back in tomorrow with the results from the Dr.
