Now and Then...

On October 15th, I saw a dietitian because I was told I am pre-diabetic. Which is good and bad. The bad is obvious, but the good is the fact that I'm now aware of it and am able to change it before it is too late. When I had weighed in, I was at 340.2 lbs and was given the goal to lose 10% in one years time. Sounds pretty reasonable, but was told I could accomplish that within half that time.

The plan to do all this was simple. My dietitian, Sharon, told me to cut back on sugary drinks (such as juice and sodas) which I have done. I primarily drink water and light/diet drinks. Also, I've cut back on fried foods, and foods high in calories and fat. I was tasked to also exercise more, which to be honest, I have not been doing. I did, though, start swimming laps at the Aquatic Center in Cecil Commerce Center every Monday. This past Monday though, I weighed in at my parent's house, and then again at Jelly's house, to kind of gauge how I'm doing before I see Sharon again next Monday. At my parent's, the weigh-in was 320 lbs, at Jelly's was 330.5 lbs. If any of these are correct, that would mean I lost 10-20 lbs in a three-week period which is phenomonal. I've already reached 33-66% of my goal in 10% of the time. I'm very excited. I just have to now continue this trend, and also add in more exercise.

More updates to come!
