On August 15, 2010, I started logging my exercise, nothing fancy, just using the 'notes' on my IPhone. Most experts in lifestyle change advocate writing things down, and the Weight Watchers program incorporates 'tracking'. Tracking, either on paper or on WW etools, has never been my strong suit. But today, I celebrate the first anniversary of my exercise log. Back when I was first diagnosed, Dr. Natalie, in discussing exercise, said it was not optional. Or rather, not exercising is not an option. And so I do.
The advantage of recording is that you have a record.. duh! Reviewing it tells a story. Lapses? Sure. But a review of the log shows 65 yoga classes and 184 walking entries. Perfect? No.
I am no longer seeking perfection, only consistency.
BTW, my A1C went from 7.9 to 6.5.
Dr. Natalie is happy and so am I.
Heading to Yoga tonight.
