30 Something's Daily Chat: Wednesday, 3/18

  • Hi All!
  • Hi everyone!

    Yesterday I went to my appointment to join a Medically supervised Diet program. My 3 hour appointment was 5 and 1/2 hours long! I was pooped after I got out and then had to drive an hour back home.

    I met with a NP who went over my whole life history, seriously that's what it felt like. Then I met with a dietican who is working on my own personalized diet plan. And also a Excerise physiologist. They empahsized learning how to eat to live not living to eat. I was very honest with them. We have to meet weekly for a class, and to be weighed, then monthly met with the 3 again. They send progress reports to my family Dr. They also suggested I do a sleep study, which is set up for May. Anyway, I have good feelings about this. I am determined to make this work.

    I dont have any idea what food to eat today but I have already started cutting back. This morning was oatmeal. Lunch was chicken with mustard and all bran crackers. The dietican did give me a list of her favorite foods. Some of my fav's are on there! all bran crackers, light thomas bagels, LF tortillas, salsa Woohoo for fav's! LOL

    I still need to clean out my cabinets and go grocery shopping but I am waiting for her to email me my plan.

    That's about it for me. I've been spring cleaning and am ready to take it easy for the rest of the day.

  • Wow, Beth...that sounds GREAT!! Do you mind if I ask how much something like that costs? It sounds like a great way to make it a REAL lifestyle change....it's like school!

    Well, I haven't calculated my points for the day, but I think I've gone a bit crazy...not overboard, but not good either. I'll calcuate later...before supper, so I'll know what I can eat.

    G2G get my son from school!@
  • I guess I am not the only one busy today...

  • Just popping in to say Hi... Been busy today, keeping up with the kiddos. I am wiped. They were wiped and fell asleep before bedtime.

    I'll try and stop in tomorrow some time.
