Day 6: Last week, the Dietician had me start writing down everything I eat, when I eat it, and how I feel. I'm continuing that for a few more days, and today I started the next step--wearing an armband all day, everyday, for the next week to see how many calories I burn throughout the day so that we can write a specific meal plan for me. Luckily, we're doing this at the same time that my Nutrition class is doing it, so no one has to know that I have anything going on. Brilliant! It feels good to be taking steps to controlling these issues.
3 miles today down toward Wal-Mart and back. Very windy!--8:28/mile. I felt really good today! Very little dizziness, which is an awesome sign! I was a little sore, though, and my back was hurting more than normal. However, I'll take back issues over blood sugar problems any day!! |
