I went to the doctor for a check up and a refill on my thyroid medication yesterday. The physician was very pleased with my progress. My BMI has decreased since my first visit in February from 34.4 to 30.0. I asked her how much did she think I should way at my height and frame. She told me a good goal for me is about 160 pounds. This was my original goal. We actually agree on my goal. The doctor continued to praise me for my efforts. At the same time she was telling me how great I am doing, I was feeling as if I couldn't go on any more. I guess I am at a plateau. I am going to my weight management meeting today. I plan on reviewing my goal weight with the leader.
As I am on vacation this week, I am going to make a schedule for myself that will include actual exercises for strength training and cardio. A schedule similar to my meal plan. This schedule will include cleaning my home, spending time with God, working out and family time. Everything will be scheduled. That's the way that I am able to stay on track. I have attempted this several times, but I haven't scheduled time with God or scheduled exact exercises for various body parts. What works for me is scheduling.
My mother-in-law asked for some meal ideas to enhance her eating plan. I was supposed to do it last night, but I didn't get around to it today. I will definitely do it today. I was excited to be able to help her get her healthy goals established.
Well, I am on my way to the meeting. I will let you know what I learn. I know that I haven't lost any weight, but I am still working toward a change. Maybe when I attend this meeting, I will gain a little more motivation to stay in it.
