So I actually got online this morning to blog about something totally different and when I saw that my last blog was at the beginning of January and about losing weight I slapped my forehead! (Where is the emoji for that!?) Guess I ought to update on that last post first!
SO. The fitness challenge at the Community Center was a joke. Waste of my $75. I always have such good intentions. I'm pretty sure I did a total of 2 miles in the pool, maybe 10 on the elliptical and not more than 5 on the bicycle. I could sit here and give you the million reasons why I didn't work out but that would be a waste of time. Truth is, I'm overweight, out of shape, have zero self discipline, hate working out and have let the devil completley have me in this area of my life. I have allowed my back pain to weigh me down, and depression to have a foothold on my eating habits. It's a vicious cycle really.
I guess I should report a smidge of good news! I recently had a series of appointments at the Pain Clinic here in town with Dr. Doss. During the last appointment I had a Radiofrequency Ablation Procedure which is helping me with pain relief. (I suffer from degenerative disc disease and have 4 herniated discs in my lower back-but thats another story in itself.) Thankfully I DO have some pain relief. Where I was not able to even stand comfortably for more than a few minutes before I can stand for longer periods (which means I can shop a lot easier now too!) **Just if I had the desire to eat well and work out like I had the desire to walk the aisles of Target I'd be skinny! HOPEFULLY this new found pain relief will help me to live a more healthy lifestyle.
I've also made the initial steps with Dr. Phelps to do her weightloss clinic. It was difficult to see the results from the inBody scale measurements. I had a lot of bloodwork done and I'm sitting very impatiently waiting for my follow up with her for those results and to see what's next. (They couldn't get me in for 3 weeks for a follow up! Ridiculous!)
So, that's that. I need to be better about updating this blog! Why is it so darn difficult to sit down and put my thoughts out here, if for nothing else than acconutability!? Sheesh.
Yet again, Cheers to Spring, taking walks OUTSIDE in all God's glory and less junk in the trunk!
