Working Hard in 2008 Towards Dieting and Exercise

I went to see my doctor yesterday and he told me I had high cholesterol and high blood pressure.  He told me I needed to lose weight and exercise more.

I had fracture my knee last year in May 2007 and I was only able to fully walk properly in December 2007.

Because of this injury and being sedentary my bone density test dropped tremendously.  I just see the line drop down from the chart he showed me.  When I reminded him I had fractured my knee he understood, because the year previous the bone density test was good.

There are so many things to do and I sometimes wonder how I am going to do them all.  "One at a time".

I asked my doctor to send me to a dietician as I found I could not diet alone.  I needed help in learning how to eat well for my body and lose weight.

I also have an exercise program with a coach who is somewhat like "a drill sargeant", but I don't mind because that is what I need to get me going and to stick to my program.  Sometimes we all need a push.

I shall center on these two objectives.  Too many objectives are bound to fail.  I have tried too many at a time and you don't have the energy or you become overwhelmed with too many priorities.

Hopefull in one month I shall see a significant difference.

Catch you all later.
