The course was really good yesterday. It was broken out into three parts with three different speakers and they all were helpful and friendly and spoke well on their pieces. There were about 20 people in the class and a few familiar names from previous classes. Next steps are to speak with a Nurse about the questionnaires we filled out and our bloodwork results.
The first part of the course was on Thinking Well and went over many of the same things that were in the last course as well as some new information. It also gave us the things we will need to bring with us to future appointments. I'm waiting on my new food tracker to arrive so that most of the things I need to have written down will all be in one place but it's been delayed from Amazon so I'm just stuck waiting.
The second part was on Eating Well and spoken about by the dietitian who we'll be working with. It went over what foods to eat, how to track proteins, which is the most important in this new journey and what to give up immediately or at least start to cut back on. Most of it will not be a problem for me but the carbonation and sugary drinks will be. I never drink water so this is going to be a challenge.
The last part was on Living Well and focused on movement and healthy bodies. This one is also going to be a challenge for me as I always feel I don't have the time to complete anything and then I realize I sit at my desk waiting for emails to come in doing nothing and can probably take a half hour to walk on the walking pad or do a workout from FitOn in that time. I just need to get a routine built.....I love routines...thank you OCD-like brain.....and then it'll be fine. I've made time to study, I've made time to meditate, I can make time to exercise.
Here's hoping I get the next call for appointments soon!!
