Dietician

Well, I've been struggling these days with eating properly. I'm still working out, but am losing the battle to sweets and comfort foods. I'm not happy about that!

Having said that, we met with the dietician yesterday, and we were pleasantly surprised by the news we received. Kyle isn't technically a diabetic yet- he has pre-diabetes, and it's completely treatable and reversible. But, that's as long as we observe a strict diet following the Canada food guide and smaller portions more often throughout the day.

So, even though I am not diabetic/prediabetic, I have a new goal to reach. This morning, I ate a proportion accurate breakfast that incorporated three of the food groups already. And, I feel good!!

Oh, the other thing we must change is going from regular everything to "lite" everything. Should be easy, right?

So I just wanted to drop in with some good news!

When I started my exercise journey, I weighed 190 lbs (give or take a few--I don't know how accurate my bathroom scale is. It got a bath one night. It's digital). It's scary admitting that, but there's the truth.

Happily, I've dropped two pounds!! Who!!

I've also discovered the elliptical trainer at the gym. It's quite a bit tougher than my beloved stationary bike, but I like that it burns calories more calories- and in a shorter amount if time- than the bike does. Sold!!

I can just barely run 15 minutes right now, but it's a start, right? Between speed walking, the elliptical and the bike, I can burn at least 300 calories per visit.

Eek!

I can't wait for the next two pounds to come off!
