Ick.
Upside to today: I am starting to feel better, thanks to the medication given to me yesterday.
Downside: I had to miss classes again and I've eaten like a horse. Prednisone, one of the medications given to me to decrease the inflammation in my throat, is a steroid. Steroids increase appetite. Yuck. Before yesterday I had never taken one to my knowledge. I remember my grandma complaining a few months ago that she had an increased appetite as the result of taking one, so yesterday when the doctor gave me my prescriptions, I hoped that I would be able to combat that side effect. That didn't work. Oh well, tomorrow I am going to class, no matter what. I AM hitting the gym in the morning for AT LEAST an hour beforehand, and I only have to take the Prednisone for 4 more days. I can handle it.
I keep reading about how adding an hour of exercise at least 5 days per week will just melt the excess weight off your body. Well, I'm gonna try to do that. That's my goal for this week. Track all my food in the WW points tracker, no matter how many points I've had, that way I can't lie to myself anymore, and aim for one hour of exercise each day. May 3rd isn't that far away. I have to start now, or it's just gonna get here and I'll have no results.
I found something on The Biggest Loser message boards a while back that said there's nothing wrong with working out 2o minutes a day, three times a week, but don't expect the same results as someone who has worked out 60 minutes a day 6 times a week. Pretty much, you get what you put into it. Makes sense huh? I don't know why it's taken me til now to realize that. So I'm gonna put in more, hoping for a bigger return as a smaller number on that scale!
Hope you all have a great day tomorrow! :D
Love,
Amy
