Today I had a Health Assessment at Memorial Hospital. This included a finger prick and cholesterol and sugar check.

Gluclose fasting 80 (<100)

When finished, I met with the nutritionist. We discussed my goals. I chose one goal to start with.
I started my program by cutting out candy, cookies, cake, and brownies. I also started watching what I eat. I stopped snacking so much at night. Soooo hard. I was eating candy, ice cream, etc everytime I went to town or the grocery store. I would eat at least three times after my boys went to bed.
I also met with Heidi, one of the trainers available to us, to get my beginning measurements:
Chest –
Waist –
Legs – Lt: Rt:
Arms – Lt: Rt:
Exercise: 5:30-6:30 Yoga @ YMCA (Love Yoga. I always feel great and relaxed after yoga. I will definately do yoga once a week. I love the way I feel and look afterwards plus it’s a great stretch for the long, lean look.)

Thursday-

Today I met with Roxanne, one of the trainers, before an aerobics class. She showed me around the weight equipment in the gym. I really like the equipment.
The other mommies and I attended our first group exercise. Beginner Fitness at 7pm. Its instructor is a woman who had lost over 50 lbs. She looks great and has a lot more energy than I do. I haven’t sweat so much in a long time. I am sooo out of shape. I don’t move as quick as I used to and I look goofy doing the aerobics.

Friday-

Saturday-

Today I went for a walk around the block(a country block, about a mile) pushing a double stroller. It takes about 25 minutes.

Sunday-

Today I went for a walk/run without the children. I walked to warm up, then I ran until I couldn’t, speed walked for 100 yards, ran until I couldn’t, walked 100 yards, ran until I couldn’t, and walked to cool down. I sweat like crazy. I am definately out of shape. Jogging is rough on my shins and knees. Someone to run with or music would make it more enjoyable.

Hardships: Not snacking or stopping at Sycamore Ice cream stand or buying a crunch bar.

Getting Easier: Motivation to workout
