For the past two weeks, I have been working on doing the 10,000 step challenge. I had my last trainer session on Tuesday. Now, I need to motivate myself to keep active and try to lose weight.
On Monday, I had my three month visit with my endocrinologist. My weight was about the same, but my A1C went from 7.5 to 8.9. I knew that number would be high. I had several days where my blood sugar was pretty high. Now, I am trying to refocus.
Last year, I had lost 35 lbs. Now, I did use the meal replacement shakes, but I was also holding myself accountable for what I put in my mouth. Basically, I would journal every piece of food I would eat. I really need to spend more time making myself more accountable for what I eat.
The other piece of that equation is being active. As I explained to my trainer, when I had some FitBit technical issues, my goal is to achieve 10,000 steps a day and be active for at least 30 minutes each day. I will reserve Sundays as my day of rest. That does not mean that Sundays are "cheat days." Sundays will be that I won't work so hard on getting the 10,000 steps done. That will give my body the time it needs to recover.
I want to set a realistic goal. Basically, I would like to be 15 lbs lighter by my next endocrinologist appointment. Overall, I would like to be down near 200 lbs before I turn 50. I want to be healthy and active - no longer feeling pain first thing in the morning while I walk the dogs would be fabulous.
I can do this - I know I can.
