Sunday Updates- A Weekly View.

This week has been a week of Walking. Exercising has been good. Now to the food intake. I think I have been within my allotments. However I haven't been good at Logging. Purchased a book log that will help me in this tasks. I really hate logging food. Perhaps it's because I have to look at what I have eaten in a written form. That could be depressing, and make me mad. It is like having to tell someone what you pigged out on and getting a disapproval look. Oh Yeah, that look will come from with in now. Just thinking about it, this comes to mind.... It could help me in my daily decisions, That thought of You'll have to write it down in the journal and then look up the caloric value and then you will really know why that weight did not fall off this week! Aug that thought makes me cringe. ... Oh well that is what I will have to do.
I have been good about logging my daughter, she doesn't like to do it either. however the Nutritionist said it would be a great tool to achieve the weight goal. I promise her those shirts she wants if she can lose 8 pounds by October the 8th. I don't know if I should have done that but , getting a teen motivated is hard.
Set up the treadmill in the Family room so we can walk while watching a show. This week I will be working on a room in the house. Painting, Papering( putting a mural up), and installing racks and shelves. That should be a lot of Exercise. Plus the swimming and yard work. We have a weekend trip to the aquarium planed and that's a lot of walking. Plus a Sunday Local event, more standing and walking. I think I will put in some Wii activity also, maybe Balancing. I heard that one of the keys to long live is being able to balance. The Wii does a great job with leaning that ability. We will see how I do.

An Exercising Regiment for PCOS.

Went to the Nutritionist with my teen daughter. She has what they think is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome also known as PCOS. One of the ways to control it is maintaining a healthy weight. For her that means losing weight and staying on a 1500 calorie intake until the desire weight is achieved.
We will be working on a exercise regiment. One thing I will do with her is Mall Walking. Three times a week we will walk the Mall. Now for a teen this is hard, you know why... That's right No shopping allow or window shopping. Just walking for a set amount of times at a set speed. I have several pedometer and will give one to her and wear one myself. This will be good for both of us. Other things we will do is The Wii and Swimming. Our Vacation is coming up, Lots of exercise will be included. She walks every evening with her Dad in our neighborhood.
I have been getting so much info on this PCOS and learning a lot about the syndrome. It amazes me how many teens have it. Most articles link it to over weight issues. If this is truly a weight issue, then when everyone loses the pounds it should be cured! However I am not so sure about that cure. Yes it is important for health reason to maintain a healthy weight. We will still be watching her as she drops her weight to see if this so called Syndrome will get better. Making her body be in the natural female balance. Growing healthy teen is the world of Fast food and Quick bites is a challenge.
