Reflection

I might not have been happy with the doctor, but my reaction was not good either. I guess I figured since I was doing badly, at least by his terms, I might as well live up to them. This past weekend I had pizza twice and I am glad I did have it because it made me realize just how bad it was for me to eat. Like I told the doctor, I have mostly been eating chicken and fish with vegetables, so when I ate the bad stuff this weekend it was nasty. I think if you eat right, then you know it. I am sure if I had exercised more then I might have met “his goal” and he would have been happy, but this is not about him (which some of you reminded me). He wants to get me down between 200 and 190 lbs, which does sound good, but I personally am not in a hurry to lose over a 100 lbs in one year; especially since it took me longer then that to gain it all.

I will admit that I am happy to have lost weight and I plan on continuing that trend even, if it is not as fast as he wants me to lose it. I am changing what I eat by looking at the foods value and calories, which means I will be working more fruits in my eating plan. I will do as he asked and eat around 1,000 calories or less per day. I will also exercise three to four times a week. I am going to try and work that in this week even though I hurt my back. I am going to try my best, and at the end of the month, when I weigh in again for him, whether it is a gain or loss, I will be happy knowing I did my best.

In order to help me focused I plan on posting my weekly meals and exercises like I did before. I hope I can keep up with it, but I think it might be one way to keep me from slipping. I will also post some useful tips/information shared with me at work. I wish you all the best and thank-you for taking the time to read my blog and comment. I truly appreciate it. ~Best Wishes~
