Trying again ... 310/204/140

Nov 07, 2011

I'm back.  It's been several years since I have been on here and as far as my weight, it really hasn't gone up or down in forever.  I have been about 204 lbs. for about 2 years.  This is with exercising like crazy, changing what I eat, having thyroid surgery to remove a tumor and the right side of my thyroid, and water, water, water.  This is one hell of a plateau I tell you.

So, changes that I plan to make include exercising twice a day ... I do 30-40 minutes of cardio on the cross trainer every morning and in the evening I do 45 minutes of weights.  I plan to start seeing a personal trainer.  Although it would be nice if I could lose some weight, I really want to drop some sizes - especially in my legs.  It makes no sense that I have a 19" waist, but wear a 14/16 pants! 

I plan to make an appointment with the dietician and see what I'm doing wrong.  I can't honestly say that I deprive myself of things. I graze which isn't good, but I'm also hungry.  I have eliminated red meat for the most part because I throw it back up.  Chicken doesn't sit well anymore, so I don't eat it very often.  I hate seafood, but I've starting figuring out ways to like shrimp and tilapia and I'm trying other fish to see if I can figure out ways to make it to like it better.  I get my vitamins in, my water in, and my protein in.  I had labs run and I wasn't deficient in anything, but vitamin-D, so I started taking a supplement that has calcium and D-3 in it.

I have been eliminating stress (people and situations) that may cause me to graze unnecessarily.  So, I hope to be at my goal by next summer.  I think that's pretty realistic - unless I get pregnant! I still want to be down though!

Just keep swimming .. just keep swimming ...
