Did better this week

This week I did do better at sticking to the calorie limits that Dr. Thomas recommended. There were a couple of days that I went over which is a little better than only a couple of days that I stayed within limit. However, I still am not exercising enough but getting a little better there too. The percentage of protein is growing but still not where it needs to be because fat and carb percentages are still a little to high. But a little progress is better than no progress. Next week I will be back on my regular work schedule and therefore should be able to make to the gym at least a couple of days. So the program continues toward a good report on Dec. 7th.

First Baseline meeting with primary care physician

Well met with Dr. Thomas this morning and she has given me the list of things to aim for. Biggest two more exercise and eating less carbs and fat, more protein. One of the things I like about Dr. Thomas is after we discussed everything she prayed with me before I left the office and she shared that she has also been told to lose weight by her doctor because of recent health issues. Her instructions are to also get more water. Aim for 2500 calories and 30 min exercise 4 x a week. At the rate my crazy schedule is will be good to work in 2 or 3 but am really going to make the effort. So far today did stay within calorie limits but carbs too high and protein to low. I'm taking a serious look at today's food chart and will have to make some different food choices.

Slight Set Back

Well because of work schedule and something going on with Dr. Thomas have had to reschedule by appointment to begin the appointments to complete the forms necessary to statisfy Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Alabama's requirements for them to pay for the surgery. Hopefully things will allow me to get things back on track. Also work schedule has kept me from starting back with the gym. Also seem to be have a hemroid flare-up which is making getting around hard.
Hopefully next week will improve.
