I went to see Dr. Gibbs yesterday for my prescription renewal. I was dreading it, because I had gained at least 20 pounds since a year ago and have done nothing to try to lose it. No physical activity, no meal planning, no tracking. She was pretty nice about it, encouraging more walking, using the fitbit, etc. I'm getting blood work done in a week. I hope to have a good week so the results come back OK, but I'm a little nervous.
I need to be very concerned about my poor eating habits and lack of physical activity. What am I doing to be healthy? Do I want to have to deal with diabetes the rest of my life? Do I want to be at risk for heart problems? Knee problems? No one can help me but ME.
