I went yesterday to my not-quite-regular Dr. who has a walk-in clinic, since I needed some meds refilled in a hurry (whole nother story, my real Dr. has cancer). He looked at me and asked, "have you been exercising and losing weight?"
In the back of my mind I was thinking "what does that have to do with each other, and how on earth did he know?" Maybe he's one of those Drs that actually keep up with their patients, cuz last time I was there was in March and I was buying a Gazelle since I thought it wouldn't hurt my knee.
I told him I only was able to do 15 min a day, and not every day, but I was sticking to low-carb better these days, and was losing slowly. He looked at my chart and then said, Wow, 9 lbs since I saw you last -- it's working!" Now that I think of it, I HAVE been losing a little faster, one whoosh every month or so, since I started regular exercise!! "Well," I said, "Exercise IS part of the Atkins plan, maybe it DOES play a big part."
When I started on this WOE I was even more handicapped and could not exercise at all besides physical therapy. I lost rapidly and steadily at first, and have been really dissappointed that's not happening. Now I feel like I CAN really reach my goal, and not 2 lbs a month like my stupid siggy.
I had a little toe surgery this week, but as soon as that heals, I'm stepping up to 20 min and BEYOND!
