Week 1
February 2, 2006
Weight: 208 lbs.
I'm off to a strange start here. I was originally planning on having my meds by the 1st (yesterday) and having a good workout last night. Well neither actually happened. I just got the Prozac today and the Phendimetrazine is on its way but might not arrive until early next week. I order my meds online because my health plan does not cover most prescriptions (especially diet meds) and I've been able to find some good deals and reputable pharmacies who I can fax the Rx to. There's also some that will do an online consultation (for a considerable fee of course). So I won't be on the medication regimen just yet, and as for the gym that shall remain nameless (24 Hour Fitness)... Well I went last night expecting to work out the membership thing either there or just do a one night pass and sign up another day. Well they decided to be anal retentives because I needed an "orientation" or something stupid. As if I never stepped foot into a gym? Whatever! I suppose I could have gone someplace else but I don't know of any other place in the area that keeps late hours and is as well equipped. So both ideas were killed on the day I was completely psyched about getting back in the swing of things. So day #1 was a big disappointment. I did make an effort to drink more water, and watch what I was eating (especially not eating a ton of food just before bed). I guess since I HAVE "officially" started, with or without the gym and meds, I should do anything possible to stick to the plan. I just have to remind myself that it's only a delay and that I can't quit because I get discouraged (on day one!). Anyway I hope to have some better news for the next entry.
