I am staying on plan today because I got the news from my nurse practitioner (like a family doctor) that the pneumonia I had in November, coupled with my pre-existing asthma, triggered seasonal allergies and now (worst of all) mild obstructive lung disease. Aside from taking the inhaled steroids, weight loss would greatly diminish its effect on me.
I'm also staying on plan because she's holding me accountable. I weighed myself in the office today and I see her in 1 month's time, at which point she says she wants to see that number on the scale go down and for me to set a goal of taking the dog out for a walk, rather than just playing in the back yard, every day for at least 20 minutes. I have to journal it and my eating pattern for her too.
So, now I'm behind held accountable to someone other than myself, and a medical professional no less.
Because ultimately I want a better, longer life, and today (like each and every other day) is the day that's most important right now! I can worry about tomorrow....tomorrow...today I have to worry about today!
Well I will only be on plan for 2/3 of the day. My mother in law is flying in today, and taking us out for chinese food for supper. I have stayed on plan all week, and all last week so that I could enjoy tonight, guilt free. But I will be onplan for the rest of the day
for every 5 lbs lost. So long suckers!!!
GOOD in a sexy Halloween Costume in October.
