New Change

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.
