The Month in Review:
1. My family was in town for a visit and during the visit my grandmother had a fall and was hospitalized. This caused major stress and I experienced a phenomenon I coin, "Bi-polar Eating", in which I eat healthy for part of the day and then eat crazy junk for the next part of the day, and continue this trend throughout the day. In the past I only ate one way, which was totally out of control.
2. I also got the stomach flu, which was horrible. I lived of a strict diet of Gatorade and Crackers.
3. I uncovered my gluten intolerance and have been on a gluten free diet for the latter part of the month, doing a complete overhaul of my food plan.
4. I rejoined Weight Watchers and have attended several meetings.
5. I have just finished my sessions with my trainer, in the Get Fit/ Stay Fit Program at my job. I had been strength training twice a week and no longer fear weights! I did my check out assessment after several months in the program and my blood pressure is lower and I am down 10 pounds bring my latest weight to date as of 5/29/2013 is 257 pounds! I am happy to have broken out of my plateau!
The major lessons I have learned this month:
1. Nacho's (tortilla chips with cheese) are not for me, this food is difficult to portion control and I can binge easily on this food.
2. Low Carb Living is not for me. I need fruit, vegetables and even starch.
3. I must not give up treats and snacks. I can find a happy middle ground.
4. Setting a weight-loss goal of no more than 2 LBS a month works for me. That is if I set a goal at all!
