I did it!

Well, I finally did it!  I walked on my treadmill for 15 minutes.  I only walked that long as I am getting used to my new exercise shoes, you know the ones out now that are suppose to build up your butt and legs.  I also did 15 minutes of free weights.  It is a start.  I didn't want to kill myself the first day.  My knee was hurting during the walking, but I did not stop!  I hope I won't be too sore tomorrow and I plan on walking again and doing some of the Wii fit exercises.  If I start slow, I will hopefully keep at it.  Keeping a food diary is hard.  I still haven't eaten all the calories for today, but it is late and I don't want to eat more.  I have to start eating the allotted amount or I won't lose this weight.  The nutritionist told me I did not eat enough, so my body thinks I am starving it.  Go figure!  So now I have to eat the right amount of the right foods.  It is so hard to eat when you aren't hungry.  I think that is a side effect of diabetes.  My Dad told me that when I told him he needed to eat the right amount of calories a day.  Now that I have diabetes, I know what he was talking about.

So you see, Julie, I did it finally.  Thanks for the nagging.  Love you too!
