weight issues

i weigh 204 pounds as of my last doctor visit. i hate scales. i used to weigh 124 lbs. but that was back when i was at my worst with drinking and unhappiness. now i am all happy and fat. k, my personal trainer and dietitian (insert big smile here), has been preparing great meals, and planning my healthy eating strategy. i am now able to do some light exercise, so we have been walking and using the stationary bike. tonight, after a healthy supper of pasta and healthy choice sauce, we went for a long walk around the whole park. we admired the different ways people have added curb appeal to their lots, and gave me some great ideas. we also discussed my health and how i really need to pay attention to how i eat. i really am committed to losing this excess weight. i don’t wanna be heavy like this anymore. it doesn’t make me feel very good inside.

i’m pretty sure that the asthma and the snoring would decrease somewhat where i lighter. i imagine that i would feel a whole lot better in alot of ways. when i get home from work tomorrow evening, i shall take a walk around the park like we did tonight. it is a start. i’m still a bit nervous about riding my bike. (the doctor said to be careful of bumps and jarring or jolts). 

k is type 2 diabetic, and she took control immediately to lower her bs level and control her eating habits. she uses diet and exercise and has lost about 15 pounds. she looks great and feels better too. her blood sugar numbers are very good, and the latest blood work showed that if not for the fact that it was diagnosed last year, there are no signs. my blood sugar levels are good. i check them too. being in a high risk category i am careful of that. there is a history of diabetes, asthma, rheumatiod and osteo arthritis in my background. i’m over 40 and a smoker. 

i do try to curb my impulses. k is my realty check for many things. eating is no exception. so, she packs me healthy food to take to work, and i am drinking lots of water. (1-becuz it is so freaking hot, 2-becuz i should.)

i have 2 requisitions for blood work, so next monday, i will go get that done. then make an appointment for my doctor, and go from there. i mentioned that i have been having anxiety attacks, and headaches of late. and i think it is just situational. he wants to clear out any physical reasons. that works for me. 

with work, we get lots of discounts from local businesses. CURVES is no exception to this. i think i will look into purchasing a membership and try and get fit. it can’t hurt, right?  there are staff there who can assist me so i don’t hurt myself, and get fit. i like that. i think on my 45 minute break tomorrow, i will go over to the place and see what is what. 

that is all for the moment.                        poet
