I am really not sure where I am at in the process. Last Friday the scale said 165 and that was a needle scale. I like that scale much better because the digital scale said 170. Its either 22lbs all together or 17lbs. I really don’t know which one to trust but, I can tell you that I have lost 8 inches total and 4% of body fat so I am not complaining about that stupid scale.
Is there anyone out there on a calorie restrictive diet that is experiencing mood swings and constant fatigue? I can’t seem to stay awake or I get so wound up and come crashing down around 3:00 and I have to force myself to the gym after work. My blood sugars are way off and I don’t know how to balance it out with foods just yet. I guess it just takes a lot of getting used to and figuring out how your body works.
I met with a really great nutritionist that had a history of weight problems and she had great advice and a program that I am going to try and see if it helps me get control of my blood sugar levels to balance out my nutritional intake. She looks phenomenal so advice from her should be pretty legit after reading her story. http://www.venicenutritionamyhenry.com/
I never knew how to balance out your carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake through out the day so that you don’t hit a crash mid day and your body wants to over load on food at night. I was just making sure I don’t eat bad foods with lots of calories. It may be working on my body structure but, it’s not worth feeling like this everyday. I will be starting her program in a few days once I get situated in my new place.
Jason and I decided to move in together and start planning for our future together. We move in this weekend and we both are really excited about our change in pace. Well we all know what a 27 year old will hope for next. J
I am still going to the gym 4 – 5 days a week and changing up my routines and trying to take more advanced classes. So far I love my life right now and I can’t wait to see more results with out the headaches and fatigue.

Just a little more!
I am so sorry for not posting the last 3 weeks. My only computer is here at work and the end of the month was so hectic here.
This could be the root of a little stress and little weight loss.
I decided not to weigh every Friday and back off for 2 weeks to see results since I was working out with weights and I knew it would be water and muscle on the scale. I was right and I hit a plateau at 16 lbs. For 2 weeks I lost nothing.
I can’t lie to you and tell you I was a perfect eating angel because I was not. I went camping for the weekend and splurged on beer, chips, brats, bacon, eggs and smores. That was one day of food. AGH (screech). I felt disgusted with myself the day after but, damn it was so good going down. This was a total of 2 weeks of just picking the wrong foods. I did not give it my very best and the results showed that. I even had Mexican food but, I chose to eat only one fajita no cheese. That was after eating the basket of chips with salsa. What am I thinking? It is obvious I did not try very hard and no excuses to be made for the first time in my life.
I know what your thinking (I can’t do that to start with). Yes you are right I have been hitting the gym most every day except Sundays of course so I think that has to do with not gaining weight from this bad two weeks.
Thankfully this week I regained control of myself and got back on track to eating foods that were more healthy and controlling my cravings and trust me this is hard this time of the month ladies.
I lost 2 more lbs this week and now I am 18lbs down. Tomorrow will be my 2 month mark and I can say that I am proud of myself for getting this far. I can really tell my inches are falling off. I can wear pants I haven’t been able to wear and I have been receiving great feedback from family and friends.
I love the support I am getting from ya’ll and friends. I don’t know if it is my emotions getting to me this week or if I was happy but, I went to the gym yesterday and worked out so hard burning 1065 calories in one hour and a random woman at the gym said you did really great in class today. I have never met her nor seen her there before. I left the gym in tears of joy crying in my car. I really can’t tell you why I felt so happy but, I did.
Little things like that make me steer clear of bad foods and junk cravings. I absolutely love going to the gym now and wish I could do it twice a day. Thank the lord my gym is all women or else I would be very self conscious jumping out of rhythm on the dance floor. Hahaha
2 more lbs to hit that 20 lbs mark and maybe I can do it this weekend. I am going to try so hard.I promise I will keep you informed.
PS (anyone doing this with me steer clear of chips, brats and smores. It’s not worth it)
Thanks
