I've got a good bit of weight to drop and here are the current plans:
1. Getting a trainer. Working out on my own isn't cutting it. I apparently need someone like Jillian Michaels to tell me to move my fat ass.
2. Going to more fitness classes. Planning to do an early yoga class tomorrow at the Y. We'll see how that goes.
3. Working on increasing activity at home. We bought Schwinns from Target a few weeks ago. They were our tax refund splurge. Not the best gears for shifting, but it'll suit our purposes just fine.
4. Seeing an endocrinologist. My internist recommended the trainer but when she found out I have some symptoms of wacky hormones, she also suggested an endocrinology consult. For anyone familiar with the Great GI Debacle of 2011, I'm sure you know how much another round of specialty testing thrills me.
5. Possibly seeing a dietician. I feel like I have a generally good understanding of nutrition, but I figure that a consult can't hurt and s/he can let me know what might work best for me. I will likely hold off on this one until I see the endocrinologist, in case they have someone they prefer to use.
Today so far:
Food intake: leftover Indian for lunch. Yum. I laid off the rice and skipped the bread.
For a snack in the afternoon, I had some mixed nuts, a piece of cheese, and a beef stick.
Dinner will probably be a sandwich on thin bread (it didn't have many more carbs than the supposedly low carb wraps and seemed like it would be more satisfying) and some soup.
Activity: 5 miles on the bike, using Map My Run to track progress. There are a couple big (to me) hills on our loop, and I hit the inhaler before hitting the big one on the second loop. That helped quite a bit.
Weight... A lot.
