Weigh In + 1 - My Journey Part 3

Hello,

So I had my weigh in on Sunday Jan 17 on nice cold afternoon, and to my surprise I gained a 1 pound.

Current weight: 148lbs goal is 125lbs - I got 23 lbs to get off! Yikes!! 

 The reason why; is because I have not been working out for several weeks. However, I am grabbing myself by the hair and slinging myself back to Gym. You will see results, I will post pictures (eventually).

In my session we talked about my diet and how its going. Also, I find my session with him very therapeutic, and it releases some of the stress and, things I have been struggling with. Challenges that I have been facing:

- Is avoiding cookies (my demise) 
- Snacking for the sake of snacking
-More discpline
- And forgetting that its a lifestyle change not a diet (For all that are planning weight loss or are in that right now. Sometimes you can't help but feel like that...but just do not give up think about all the benefits)

Things I have overcome:

- Being able to decline offers of food from co-workers, friends and social situations - junk food, and not clean food
- When out for dinner to modify orders and be careful of intake
- Strong Discipline when grocery shopping ( I am not tempted at all)
- Following the plan by 70 % and over
- Eating more vegetables than I ever have in my entire adult life ( I eat about 5-8 servings a day)

I will start my gym regime back on Monday, kicking butt.However one of my goals is attaining a better diet and habits. I have learned to eat healthier and make better choices with the help of my nutritionist.
If I look back six months ago when I was losing weight and not eating healthy. I have accomplished part of my goal. Although I have not lost that weight yet, I know that I will get there..soon!!

I am half way there, and I am deciding to move forward with this journey. My next step is to stay consistent with my new eating habits and continue to work out again.

He recommended  3 to 5 hours a week for exercise. Which I can do!  That includes sport, gym and other activities (Not TV or seating around).

I will rock on.

Best,

Rachel
