diet update and exercize woes!

Modifying mt diet and eating habits has been an interesting experience! It's made me see where my problem areas are, and what to really work on changing. Saw the dietician on the 20th, and according that scale I weighed 253, which was 7 lbs less from initial weigh in on the 6th, so we both think it wasn't really accurate (it was a different scale at a different clinic), so I am waiting to see if there's been a change on my next appointment on the 18th.

Exercize has been the pebble in my shoe though. I went to the exercize physiologist and her gave me some things to do at home, I went all gung ho and bought myself an exercize band and a mat, but have I done them? NO! I went to a trainer at the Y, and she gave me some more things to do like walking 30 minutes every day (what a joke, I can only handle about 5 minutes at a time right now!) and gave me some weight lifting goals. Water aerobics were going to be my big thing, but all of a sudden our normally warm AZ weather has been too cool for me to go! So needless to say, I have been a bit disappointed in myself. But, I am going to stop making excuses, and start doing what I need to do.

I have been to the Y once so far, walked a bit on the treadmill, and did a few weights. Walked the dog for about 5 minutes the other day, and today I did a little bit of my Walk at Home dvd by Leslie Sansone. Had a hard time keeping up, had to stop and rest a couple of times, but at least I gave it a shot!

I will get over this slump!
