What the DR said...

Well, I went to a new Dr. yesterday and asked him why I haven't lost anything (lbs). He asked me "If when I was done walking was I dripping with sweat?" No. "Have I cut down my intake by 75%?" No. Well, then I need to get moving. I went to the 'Y' and as he advised me, did 30 minutes on the elliptical and I did sweat. Not dripping, but wet. So I have to go back for the annual physical the end of April. I have challenged myself to do as he has advised. I want to see a differnce. I have committed to going to the 'Y' 4-5 days each week. My niece has committed to go with me. She is so encouraging and she will push me to go farther. I am looking forward to a new me!!!! We will see how this plays out in the the 8 weeks.

2 Miles & Strength Training!

Well, today is just a start for what my become the norm for me. I did some strength training with a stretchie band and then walked 2 miles. I am trying to work up to 3 miles then 4 miles. I was shocked that I could actually keep up with the pace of the DVD. I have been doing the Leslie Sansone Fast walk. They are fast and intense. I loved that fact that I could keep up and not have to sit and watch to catch my breath. This is amazing. I have yet to loose and inches or pounds, but I know this will come in time. Tomorrow I go to a different Dr. I hope he will be able to give me some direction as to why I have so many headaches and why I'm not loosing anything. I would love to get off the heart meds and see if that would help with the weight. I have been skipping seconds and trying to keep the portion size down. Lord willing I will start to loose something other than my mind soon.
