Pain and glory
Well, I am feeling fine, having more pain than not at the present time. Between the chronic pain symdrom from RSD in my Left ankle and the back pain from Degenerative disc syndrom and 2 back surgeries, then the muscle soreness from working out I get confused between pain and lory. Because even though I have constant pain I have the glory of knowing that the muscle pain is from working out and that is so exciting to know I am really doing something for the good of my body.
I cant wait to break the 100 pound mark only have 3 pounds but that 3 pounds is making me work for it. I lost only one pound this past week. It will come in due time I can not frusterate myself so I just keep thinking it will happen no worries......
I will begin to increase the caloric intake a little as I was only eating 800- 1000 cal a day and that is not enough for people this far out, I just have a hard time getting that much food in me a tone time. Gonna try for 1200 calories and 90-110 grams protein and 90 oz of fluid( water) that is my goal and then we will see where the weight goes. I have not been under 190 in over 20 years so I know it is gonna be the number that will be the toughest. Even when I went on optifast 20 years ago I only got to 188. I am at 190 now and this next 10 pounds will be the toughest yet. If I can get past 180 I think I will be home free so to speak because my body somehow knows how to loose after 180. I have done it before of course I was 22 years younger, so wee will see. No frusteration here though only positive thoughts and encouragement for myself. I know what I have to do so now I just need to DO IT. Keep the carbs at a minimum however make sure to have some for fuel.
I am thinking of changing my carreeer as I am so passionate about nutrition and weight loss I am thinking of becoming a Dietician and Personal fitness trainer. I am an LPN now and was going back for my RN but I really am passionate about this it is the foist time since haordressing that I was this passionate about a carreer. So I guss that is the path of my journey now.... Taking my nutrition class this fall along with psychology and sociology so we will just go from there. I love working out and reading labels, helping others to make good choices in their lives in regards to nutrition. It is so amazing where and how life changes. Until next time..... Happy work outs and make a new friend GYM, I love my new friend, he keeps me going
