It seems like a bit of a stretch to call this day 1. With health problems dating back something like 10 years now -- the trifecta of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and Type 2 diabetes -- and a weight problems going back as far as I can remember, this is hardly day 1 in that sense. Having joined WeightWatchers last week, it's not even day 1 of their program.
But arguably this is Day 1 of the last program. It's Day 1 of this blog. And what I'm bringing out of the today's weigh-in and meeting is that this can't be something I do "occasionally" or when it's convenient. I need to get this handled and under control and maintain it. Like it is with my diabetes, I can do a better job of managing what I'm eating and definitely being more active.
We took "before" pictures and measurements after the meeting today. I'll have to put the pictures up later, but here's what I have so far:
So, that's right, I gained one pound. I'm blaming the birthday dinner and the potluck Geocaching dinner thing. But that's not entirely fair since that was early this week.
I'm just going to have to do a better job of tracking everything and making intelligent decisions. Also of going for walks or something. I'm half-tempted to get Quin involved in going on walks. The only problem with that is that he's likely to want to go on walks all the time and I'm not entirely sure that I'm up for that in the cold weather. But I definitely need to start doing something.
That's what I have for now. And now, since I'm getting hungry, I'm going to go fix something for lunch before I start starving and eat the entire kitchen. :)
