Today I went to Six Flags with my sisters, niece, and nephew. I was living in a false reality of what I could do. I feel youthful and not at all fat. I think I trick myself into thinking that I have lost weight when I haven't thus, placing unrealistic expectations on what I can physically accomplish. I learned the hard way today.
First, the last time I went to Six Flags was in high school over 11 years ago. I weighed 245 the only thing I couldn't ride was the Superman ride. Today I could only ride two. The ninja (it rung my head like a boxer in the ring) and The Mindbender (because it closed over your lap. Both rides I was sardined into and both rides were painful.
When we got home me and Kissy talked. She told me that she started to walk everyday around the block and she would change her length every month adding a lap. I figured I should do the same. She also told me that next year when she has the money that she would also get her thyroid checked and her hormones balanced to aid in her weight loss. I figure I could at least get my thyroid blood test at the Health Dept for $30. (It also checks of other things but I'm not sure what.)
So I am going to come up with a schedule to walk avoiding times that would stress me out before class and start walking around the block everyday. I would walk our town track but I want to avoid people like the plague and plus our block has uphills and downhills. While the track is littered with pets and gossip. So starting Tuesday I will walk everyday at maybe 10am (because it's after I get home on Tuesdays and Thursdays and well before time to leave on Mondays and Wednesdays).
