Slight Delay

There has been a slight delay in my diet and new exercise routine. I had a nerve block done on my back yesterday,and have to wait a few days before I can start working out. Im praying this block works on my back. I had one in sept that worked great, the last one, didnt work at all. So Ive been in extreme pain for a while now.
I spoke with my Dr. yesterday,the one who did the block, about beginning exercising. He told me loosing weight would probably help my back. But I have to go slow. I told him walking was ok,but standing for a while hurt like heck. His main reminder was to stretch! So I mentioned Yoga. He thinks that will be a great way to ease into working out. But the minute it begins to hurt,I have to stop. He also said water areobics would be good too. b/c it takes the pressure off my back,while still working out. I'll have to look into that. The gym we plan to join {its not open yet} has a small pool. Its one of those rectangle shaped ones where you swim by yourself again whatever current you set the machine on. So I doubt there will be water classes in the hot tub size pool.
As for diet. Well, I fell off the wagon on that the day I started. It was like my body KNEW I was telling it no,on the brownie. So I ate healthy stuff,but still over ate. Plus, I made a pan of lasange. It was healthy though. I used skim ricotta,added spinach,and didnt eat too much of it. Plus, I made an Olive Garden like salad,adding 1/4 cup of Italian Vinegrette to the whole bowl,instead of covering everything in ranch on my plate. No one complained about it either. I used Bibb lettuce this time. I bought it by default since Korger was out of romaine in a bag,when I shopped the other day. I bought light butter too. Like I said, Butter,anything dairy is my weakness. So I figured we'd try that. Im pretty anti margerine. Id rather have real butter.
Plus, since Josh is going to be using his company discount to buy the Slim-Fast shakes, he stillhas not been able to buy them b/c the company store has been closed. So yet another delay.
I have determination though that this is what Im GOING to do. We are seriously considering a cruise around Chirstmas this year,so I want to have a beach bod. It wont be tan though. I have tanned before in a bed,and all I did was turn red! But still dropping 60lbs will make me feel better about being a beach bum in the Caribbean come next Dec. So,the vacation is my carrot,dangling in front of me. A fixed mark so to speak! Josh wants to look like Ronnie from Jersey Shore. I told him to go for it,but please dont let buff interfere with brains.lol.
