I signed up for JC a week ago today (19 May 2009). My weight had gotten out of control in the last 18 months and had skyrocked up by 50 pounds. I have taken responsibility for most of this gain since I have been the one to put the food (mainly ice cream and cookies) in my mouth. But some of this gain had also came from medications I had taken for multiple sclerosis. And even after I have stopped taking some of these medications the weight just refused to budge. Well, I finally decided that having MS was bad enough and I really didn't want to add high blood pressure and diabetes to my medical problems and I walked into speak to a consultant with JC.
I don't know about anyone else but I was concerned about how the food would taste. Well, I can cross that off the list. It tastes great. Exercising, well, I know I can't go out and run marathons and I do have to be very careful about overheating and not getting over tired. So, I have been walking in the morning before it gets too hot and get in 30-45 minutes of walking and I have pulled out the Wii Fit and have started working on it again.
This afternoon I went in for my WI and {{{{{{drum roll}}}}}}}} I lost 6.4 pounds!!!!! I am so excited!!!!! Believe me I know this is only the beginning and I know that the rest will come off very slowly. But, every journey starts with a first step, right?
Well, sorry for the rambling but I just had to share.
