accountablity...found this place.

My name is Traci and I found this place for the accountability I hope to find here.

I have went back to school after 20 years out and am taking a required fitness class. We were told we'd get our lowest score raised to a 100% score if we kept a food diary. Well...that slightly motivated me. However I have MS and began working out about 3 months ago, although very hit and miss due to some really severe exhaustion. Now I get to thinking about this food diary and how I have been slipping into old eating habits - not over eating, just NOT eating - and how that has got to be affecting my health and the loss of what weight gain I do have.

So with the help of the handy dandy food/calorie calculator I have figured the last 3 days and see that I have been eating better since class Thursday.

I hope to eat better and incorporate some positive exercise programs to help rebuild lost muscle - mostly in my legs but over all. I don't want to be a burden to my family.

Thank you for any and all encouragement I can get here.

Well you will find great accountability, but more than anything.....support! Any question, frustration, and/or celebration will be shared by all here. God luck eating healthier! It's a great and rewarding journey, enjoy the ride!

I live in Alberta, Canada and work at a very large multi-use recreation facility. Our fitness & wellness centre off many classes for MS clients. I type up their evaluation forms after their session is over....and they always love them. Kinesis is a very popular one. We also have yoga, etc. They love the social aspect, as well as the health benefits they are all seeing.

Thank you both for the warm and quick welcome!

lgblack, Could you please tell me more about the Kinesis exercise?
