First meeting with the diet people
So yesterday I had my first meeting with the lady from the Occupational Therapy dept. This part of the diet plan I am required to do before having my surgery. The meeting went well, even though I initially went to the wrong location and then tripped on the stairs going into the actual location.
The first meeting basically covered goals and the diet plan. The diet plan is similar to WW but with counting calories instead of points. I may still follow the points as a general guideline anyway. My homework this week is to do the dreaded yet necessary food journal.
The coolest thing about the meeting was the high tech scale they use. Using electric pulses it measures not only weight but BMI, fat mass, fat percentage, water weight, etc. In the push for accountability, I'll post those numbers here when I get home. All in all, I think this one-on-one diet is going to be good for me, no more hiding in the group, not participate like I was at WW.
In non-diet related news, I won an a leadership award for excellence in Customer Service from my department today. It was completely unexpected and I am still kind of shocked by it. Having people tell you your valuable to an entire department is, well, rather awesome :)
Until next time...
