Gotta do something
Jul 31st, 2008 by Sandra
I’ve got to do something to get that pointer on the scale to get off of the 308 mark. I’m very frustrated right now. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Well, I sort of do.
1 – I need to drink my water. I got 7 8oz glasses in on Monday but haven’t gotten near that much the last few days. Gotta make a habit of it and then I’ll do it. And it’s not like I don’t like drinking water, I do, it’s just getting myself to remember to do it. My normal drinking glass is just a bit over two cups, and I can easily get four of those down a day. I can do this.
2 – Gotta start walking. I finally got over my procrastination and put on my new walking shoes when I went to see my chiropractor. Haven’t seen him since November and I wasn’t in too bad a shape. Anyway, I planned to start with five minutes a day and he said that it was a waste, to just do 20 minutes no matter how long it took me. So, today one of my projects is to create a playlist of songs that make me want to move and when I’m walking, just listen to them insted of worrying about the clock.
3 – Made an appointment with my doctor. Can’t get into see him until Aug. 22. I’ve got a small bump on my throat in the area that might indicate I’ve got tyroid trouble. Had my chiropractor look at it. I’ve also got all the great glucose readings to show him and maybe I can lower my medication. The meds could also be a possible reason I’m not losing.
I’m not giving up. I’ve got what I think is good control of my glucose readings and I am feeling better. But I want to feel really good – and lose some weight. But I guess for now concentrating on improving my health is the main focus of what I’m doing.
And one last thing – it’s amazing how helpful it is doing this journal. Next week I’m going to do a complete food diary and post it on a page here – just to see what I’m really eating – and maybe get some input.
