Well I went for my first meeting with Dr. Nathalie and in fact didn't spend any time with her. She has a nurse working with her on her Creating Wellness program and Leslie is who took me through the testing. It was interesting the things they were measuring, like different areas of strength, my hips (44.5") and my waist (this was the one I was most shocked at, 40"). In addition, they scanned my back to find trouble areas in the bones and the muscles. No surprises there. I use a computer most of the day, I'm right handed and that's the hand I use for my mouse, I carry my purse on my left shoulder, I play the banjo, I use a rotary cutter for quilting and live a very sedentary lifestyle. Why wouldn't I have problem areas in my back.

Then I was asked to complete a lifestyle questionnaire, that was a comprehensive look at my eating habits, physical activity and psychological outlook. I wonder if anyone is 100% honest with their answers. I probably could have gone back and made changes if I thought that no one else would read the answers, but I'm just not comfortable having someone know that much about what I'm thinking and feeling. I'm going to start a journal where I can feel safe with what I'm writing.

After all of the testing was completed, I got the results, but don't really understand them, so I'm about to watch a DVD that will explain the program to me and then on Thursday I'm back to see Dr. Nathalie and Leslie to get started on the program.

That's it for now.
