Had a great appointment with my RD Carly today. She has been so helpful and has been a key to why I am finally getting back on track. This summer turned out to be great for my weight loss. I (and my boyfriend) became regulars at a new spin studio, I started working with Carly, and I completed the JCore program. All of these things have been so enjoyable and motivating.
Best news of all is that it has been 5 weeks since my last appointment with Carly. My last appointment (9/4) I weighed in at 198. It was good, but not great and I was starting to get hung up on the scale again. This last month I have pushed so hard. JCore workouts, running again, spin classes, weight training.... I have been killing it at the gym and equally watching myself in the kitchen.
Today's scale read 191.5. I cannot even describe to you how exciting that was to see. I have felt like I was losing again, both from looking in the mirror and from the way clothes fit. I have never been at 191 or 192 before. The lowest I have ever gotten was 194 last summer. On my birthday I set a goal of 190 by Halloween and I think I can accomplish that goal.
The boyfriend and I went to Kohl's on Sunday and I bought 3 new pairs of jeans, all size 12's. It was a great feeling. Thinking back to the pair of 22/24's I wore 3 years ago, I still get pretty shocked at how far I've come.
Talking with Carly helps a lot. She understands my crazy brain and why I am scared of certain foods (carbs) and how I have a version of an ED through my obsession with exercise. Luckily we've worked out a nutrition plan that I am happy with and can follow with no problems. I don't feel deprived and I'm seeing the results I wanted to see.
My parents are coming to visit in 11 days and I haven't seen them since July. I am really excited to see what they say and if they can notice a difference.
