Monday is my night for the medical check in and Core classes.
One of the women I met at the intro class is starting with me, so we will be Core buddies.
I signed in on the check in sheet and turned in my order for food. Since I had just placed a full order last Thursday, I just picked up another box of Vanilla shakes and 10 more entrees. I cannot wait to get through the first four weeks so I can add the hot cereal and the soup to my food mix!
The nurse called me back and I could not believe it when I stepped on the scale. I had lost 9 pounds in 3 days! Of course, I have been peeing like crazy from all the water I have been drinking, so the loss is mostly water. I do have to say I feel less bloated, so that is a good thing!
I met with the doctor and she was happy with the weight loss. She said I should discontinue one of my blood pressure medications, so that is always a good thing.
Our first week of Core was actually the twelfth week of the lessons. It was about how statistics show that people who have lost 30 or more pounds and have kept it off for five year or more have over 2600 calories of physical activity a week.
How to fit that much time into your schedule? The PA assignment was to fit one instance of activity during the workday. That is were those folks are able to get all that PA in every week. During the week we don't have a lot of time either before or after work, so we need to use our lunch hours to help get to that 2600 level.
The food assignment was to fit a HMR 70 Plus pudding into our food plan today. I used it as a snack around 3pm. I have to say, I'm still not all that impressed with the puddings. I would rather have had a shake as I was super hungry by the time I got home at 6:30pm.
I mixed the HMR Five Bean Casserole and the Chicken with BBQ sauce entrees. It was very satisfying.
