Day 1: On Program!
Today has been Day 1 back OP and I am feeling good. Though some of the day I felt like what I assume it feels like to be on a drug withdrawal. One of the hardest parts of today was the time between when I get home and Tony gets home from work. It can take him anywhere between an hour to three hours to get home (dependent upon traffic). Instead of plopping down on the counch, since I had a migraine, I plopped in our bed. It is less likely that I will make a trip down the steps to get food, especially since I had a migraine. I am hoping weight loss will lead to a lower blood pressure and that will help ease the migraines. Though even at my lightest, I still had migraines, but maybe at least I'll have them less frequently. I am working on keeping a calendar that is accurate of when I exercise, when I get migraines, and what my BP is and I can see if I can find a trend.
I have decided as much as I want to join a gym it just isn't fesible at this moment in time. I do have an elliptical if I want to use it. And, to be fair to Charlie (doggy) I am going to *try* to start going walking in the neighborhood daily. This was a recommendation of a friend. It will help ease Charlie from being a hyper puppy to a well-trained doggy and it will help me get some excercise. My biggest grip about walking is how cold it is, but I can layer it up and maybe by spring I'll be up to a jog, and then by summer a run. My goal is to look into some fall races as my motivation.
My focus right now is to lower my BMI. The weight will fall when it does, but my BMI needs to come down by at least five points. I've done this so many times. I know I can do it!
The hardest part was starting today. I did it. I am so full from dinner but I still have three points for the day left. I wish I had used them during this afternoon, but I never know how dinner will make me feel. I am going to plan again for tomorrow. :o) So excited about this new motivation!
