They say a journey of 1000 miles begin with a single step,

Jun 29, 2010

but the truth really is that the journey of a million miles begin with a foot on a scale...

Oh yeah, I came up with that quote on my own! :)

I'm down 2 pounds (a grand total of 10 since the end of March.) If you're a fat kid, you totally know what a HUGE deal that is.

I've cut out some things to drop that weight (the whopping 2 pounds, lol)...I recently gave up pop (I was a big time Diet Coke-aholic. I've also been portion conscience. I have disappointed myself a bit. I went Carb crazy a couple times here and there and I ordered extra sour cream at Chipotle.

I went for my first D & E (diet and excercise) check up last week. The doctor and I spoke to what I have been doing throughout the last month and other ways to eat healthier and lose weight. He suggested that I eat breakfast (I had been doing Slim Fast for breakfast and lunch), either by having a Jimmy Dean diet breakfast sandwich or a Slim Fast around 8am. Around 10:30 eat something with protien like string cheese and some fruit or some cottage cheese (which is soooo gross). At 12:30 eat a lean cuisine. Around 3, he suggested eating a protein bar. I purchased the Zone Protein bars. (He suggested Zone and South Beach.) He said a regular dinner with no after dinner snacks. Protein, protein, protein.

He also wants me to walk a half hour a day. Well, this weekend I bought the Nike Air Max Moto + 6 to start walking in. They were 80 bucks. That is the most I've ever spent on shoes before. They had better be worth it! :) Today I walked for the first time. I thought an hour had passed as I was wheezing and I looked at my watch...10 minutes had passed. I walked around both buildings and down our long driveway where I live. I nearly died. I was so out of breath. I did walk just over a half mile...and I can't say it enough, but that is such an accomplishment for me.

Today was my first appointment with my sleep doctor. It was supposed to be 2 hours long. I scheduled it for 9 am, but it lasted till 9:15. What a rip off. My sleep study is scheduled for 7/12. I have three other appointments that day, so that'll be awesome. I wonder though, when I go for this sleep study, it's SO not accurate. My husband's not there, and they expect me to sleep from 8:30-6am. I don't go to bed till like 11:30, and sleep till 7:30. I can go to bed an hour earlier, I guess, but 3 hours makes a huuuuge difference. I think I am going to force myself awake that day before at like 5 or something.
