Here I am again, rebooting this baby for the 3rd time. Maybe I will actually be able to commit and get this to become a regular occurrence instead of a temporary enjoyment! Life just seems to always get in the way of the things I would rather be doing. Like writing here!
Since my last post things have been, interesting, to say the least.
Finished my first year of grad school, still working full time, and still battling those last 30 or so pounds.
Since my 25th birthday in 2010, the only loss I have seen was a few pounds, which came right back. I’ve been holding steady at 201-205, which is pretty disappointing. I would love to be back under 200. The only positive is that I seem to at least be shifting the weight around, because I am fitting in mostly size 12 clothes, or size Medium. Which is a definite change from the last time I was in this weight range.
I started working with a registered dietician, Carly, who is awesome! My last post I had met with a nutritionist who I stopped seeing. His approach was coming from a good place but it was just not a good fit. Working with Carly, I switched from calorie counting to an exchange program about 6 weeks ago. Diet seems to be where the problems are, since my workouts continue to be strong, varied, and intense! Hopefully with some patience and tweaking we can figure out where the disconnect is as to why I haven’t been dropping pounds.
With a full time job, a boyfriend, two cats and grad school, there are still days where I just want to stop caring so much about what the scale says, what I eat, and what workouts I do. But after coming this far, I just can’t bring myself to stop yet. I know I can reach that end goal.
For now I will promise this, a stronger commitment to this blog and more regular updates. Third times the charm right?
