Got a little exercise in...

Oct 19, 2009

I went to visit my friend, Derek, this weekend in Tucson and we went to the lake at Mount Lemmon. It was a gorgeous day and the perfect weather! We hiked around the lake and I certainly felt the pain the following day. My shins and calves were on fire and my husband was sweet enough to rub them while we atched TV. :) I have resigned myself to try harder to KEEP exercising each day so that I am not in pain when I do. I have to make more time to walk around the lake across the street and I need to purchase myself a treadmill so that I can walk whenever I am watching TV at home. The kids and the dog will love the walks and it will also help my husband and I reconnect...I just have to make it a priority!

I did make better food choices this weekend as well, but I have to stop eating sweets after dinner! I need to come up with some creative snack ideas that aren't filled with sugar and I need to have Carter stop bringing sweets home from the grocery store.

I really need to start taking this WLS program more seriously and stop thinking that once I have the surgery, everything will work itself out. I need to take control over my own eating habits BEFORE surgery and I am going to start trying to focus on one of the required tasks from the nutritionist at a time.

This week, I am going to work on not eating and drinking at the same time. I know it will be the hardst for me, so I need to make sure I have mastered that one before surgery and assume it will take the longest to accomplish. I can do this...I can't be the only person who has found this harder than I thought and still succeeded...I can do this!
