Orientation - check!

Tonight was orientation for my weight management program that I'll be doing through a local hospital. It went really well. The dietician and exercise physiologists were super nice and I just got a really good feeling being there. There were about 8 other people there - all different sizes and I know we all have different goals. When they were talking about the different plans - one girl was very adamant that she was NOT doing a supplement only plan. That's good for her but I know me and I am going to need that structure. 

So weigh in and measurements was depressing as I knew it would be - but I didn't let it get me down. I'm used to weighing first thing in the morning as naked as can be...after peeing of course. Instead it was early evening, jeans and a sweater -- and shoes. Weighed in at 275 --- soooo heavy. Can't believe I've gotten here. Just months ago I was 235 or so. It's amazing what shit food does to you. 

So my homework is to track at least 3 days of everything I eat and drink. There's a form they gave us but it has you track the time, where you are, mood etc. I'll start that tomorrow. Of course I could do everything perfectly - and  I'm sure I'll be making better choices - but I do want to give accurate responses so they have a good idea of where my struggles are. 

I'm meeting with the dietician on Tuesday and am excited to kick things off. I'm going to do the Protien Power plan which is all supplements -- they have bars, shakes, soups, puddings etc but it's a very low calorie diet so I'll be taking on about 600-800 calories per day most likely. I'll be having frequent blood tests and follow ups so no worries, it's safe!! Medically supervised people!! :) with this diet your body goes into ketosis and starts burning stored fat -- and it will actually be a natural appetite suppressant after the first week. First week will prob be a little struggle but I'm ready! I want to be one of those out of the norm success stories. I want to be an inspiration!!
