After going to see a specialist Dr for pain in my ankle, I was told I needed to lose weight. I knew this about myself but 1. didn't care and 2. LOVE sweets to much. But my Dr recommended that I go see a dietician. I went to the dietician with a open mind and an open heart. She suggested that I eat as a diabetic would, by counting my carbs. So that what I did!! Th great thing is I can still have sweets, but just in moderation, which before I was not doing in moderation!!
My Dr. also wanted me to start exercising more. He told me needed to bike 30 minutes a day. So I started to put my stationery bike to use and now up to 30 plus minutes a day. I have decided that I want to try to walk a 5k. After getting advice of if I could do it from a PT friend, I have set a new goal for myself! I am up to walking a 1.2 miles almost half way there!! I also have bought a workout video which is easy enough for me to use, but still gets a workout!!
I started all this in January and have lost 14lbs in the process!! I am hoping to do the 5k sometime next year down in Reno with my friends that live there!!
