The Right Choice

It has been a long time since I have made an entry so here goes!!! Since my last entry I gave gained back all the weight that I was so excited to lose, all 11.1 pounds!!! Yikes!!!! That way was once again one of my attempts at the quick fix!!! Once again the results were the same. After a much needed vacation and a lot of self talk to get into the right frame of mind I made the decision to get a personal trainer!!! Not a trainer at the gym, but one that trains independently! I started with her on May 1st, as of now I am going twice a week. I LOVE training with her!! She is very genuine and truly cares about her clients. We use the Live Strong Daly Plate to track my food. I have tracked consistently since May 1st , I have stayed within my daily calories and guess what? I lost 3.8lbs the 2nd week then this week I am only down 2.2. What Suzie, my trainer, discovered while looking over my food entries is that while I eat good Calorie wise I am not eating the right foods, way to many carbs!!!! I need to eat much more protein!! That is my homework for the rest of the month. This weekend will be hard, we will be traveling to ND for a graduation, 7 hours in the car each way, along with graduation we will be celebrating 2 birthdays as well. I will do my best to control my portions because I know I won't be eating the best and I will be having a few beers. I am ok with this, it is life and things come up. I will get home Monday night and I have an appointment with my trainer 1st thing Tuesday morning!! I also have workout routines to do while I am gone! We were going to do measurements last night but decided to wait until my June 1st appointment so I can see what one month of hard work and changes have done!!! I'm ready to see my changes coming soon!!!
