Weight Loss Classes

So, the supervised weight loss classes are interesting in that they sometimes say the same things over and over. If you pay attention in each class, you're literally going to end up hearing the same things. Granted, they do go more in depth with each class. For example, in the first supervised weight loss class, where they tell you all about your new diet, and give you the 4 pages of information on it? If you pay attention in that class, and read the handout, you'll know the topics for the rest of the classes. Since then, I've had a class on exercise, a class on protein, a class on liquids. And as I said, each class goes a lot more in depth than the glossing-over that they do in the first class, but, it still gets a little old sometimes.

I know why they do this. Not everyone pays attention in class or reads their handouts. And it makes sense. I do still take some notes, and while I do listen, I tend to drift a little. LOL.

One thing that I am sad about is that they got rid of the food journals. It makes sense, since there are so many ways online or on your phone that can help you journal your food, but, I like writing it all down. The journaling definitely helps to hold me accountable too. So... I made my own. It has all the same information in it that the other journal has, just handwritten by me, in a much cooler journal (I used a journal I bought at Barnes and Noble for it).

So, I went and saw my family doctor yesterday, just a general check-up. She was thrilled by my progress so far. She thinks I'm going to do amazingly with my surgery, and can't wait to see my results. She's taken me off my blood pressure medication, and we're rechecking my cholesterol, which will most likely lead to me coming off my cholesterol medication. Happy happy girl right here. That just leaves me with the Metformin, which isn't actually for sugar control, but for my PCOS. So, if I can literally just be on my metformin, allergy meds, and Prilosec (which I won't need after surgery either!) I'll feel awesome. :D

Have a FANTASTIC weekend everyone!
