I finally went to the gym after work!! I am so glad that I went! I did a little cardio and some leg machines. I happened to inquire with one of the Personal Trainers about the calorie question and he said the best deficit would be 500-750 per day. He was a nice young man and very approachable. I told him I was looking to have someone set up a progressive program for me. Well, we looked and they are running a special for 3 sessions for $129. I did do this promotion last year but apparently I am eligible to sign up for it again so I did! I need to call today and schedule my 1st appt.
I don't know if you all remember but I signed up for my very 1st 5K and it is on September 18th. I am going to walk this one. I am hoping that a year from now I will be able to run it but at this weight, I think walking is better. Maybe I could throw in a little slogging. I have done nothing to prepare for this but Riley (the trainer) is a running guy so I am going to ask him what my best plan of action will be.
Tonight I am meeting with the Home Instead rep at my mom's house. It should take about an hour to do the assessment. I hope it goes well. I am pretty confident it will though. I will be going home after the appt. She has a doctor's appt. tomorrow and she wanted me to take her and I have a few hours on the books so I am going to go with her. Unfortunately, it is her PCP which I am not a fan of (either is she) but Dr. G is the gate keeper for her to go see specialists. I want her to go back to the Neurologist who can make a better assessment about what is going on with her and get her the treatment and meds she needs. Until next time...
