Wellness Counselling Update

So I had the call and most of it was spent with filling the guy (Mark) in on what I was doing and how I had lost all the weight (60 plus pounds) and what I had done over the last five years to be healthier. It really was a sort of summary of my whole wellness plan that I have put in place already and I got some confirmation that yes, I am doing this right. I summarized as follows:

I gradually did the following over the last 5 years:
-cut sugar intake (specifically Pepsi) and other sugar things.
-adjusted cheese intake so that it is only an accent food. No longer a meal
-increased veggie intake
-less carbs (much less on the pasta, bread)
-more whole foods, whole grains

Stuff like that. So it was really about what I was already doing. Two things we isolated that I could work on were:

-cutting out the diet coke
-increasing my water consumption

I am to cut my soda intake to half of what I am drinking and increase the water. He said that people should drink in (oz) half of their body weight per day. That sounds wrong to me so here is what the Mayo Clinic says on water:

Anyways. That is what happened. It seems worthwhile to me so I will keep doing this. I get 12-15 of these sessions so let's see how many I do.

Cheers!
