OK, I have been trying to focus on portion control. I really need to do the food diary to ensure that I'm actually taking smaller portions.
I have a full physical with my general doctor in a week. Bazinga! Now I *really* feel the urge to keep a food diary, because I've seen real progress before when I have done so.
I have been having trouble with the exercise due to the bipolar issues. Recently, in the last 2 weeks, I have felt my energy kick over to a point where I feel comfortable trying a regular exercise routine again.
I started doing the daily walk on Monday.The kids decided they wanted to go for a walk as well, so I ended up doing TWO walks that day. Yesterday I was SO tired! I needed extra sleep and when I'd had enough sleep, my body still was tired. So I had a rest day yesterday. BIG BONUS- it did NOT trigger a depressive episode! I just felt physically tired!!! HOORAY!!!!
Today, I'm feeling good again, so I went for a single loop walk. That's about 2 1/2+ miles. 45 minutes. Felt good. I toyed with the idea of doing two loops again, but decided not to push it. I need to take this REALLY slow to give my body time to adjust without crashing or triggering an episode.
