Feeling good!
Day 25 Home Scale Reading = 148.00
MUCH better than yesterday…I knew I was super bloated yesterday! I am going to go ahead and officially weigh in at WW today because although I have until next Wed. before I’m required to, today’s meeting time is better for my schedule. Another big step I’m taking today is wearing regular clothes to my weigh in. Normally I would be obsessed about wearing a very lightweight dress to weigh in, but this morning I was going to wear those new size 6 capris no matter what…so I am, and they feel GREAT!
Here are my points from yesterday:
| Food | Units |
|---|---|
| Daily Points | 20 |
| Coffee | -1 |
| Olive Garden: Linguine alla Marinara (ate 1/2) | -3 |
| Olive Garden: Salad w/ RF Dressing | -1 |
| Olive Garden: Breadstick | -3 |
| Fiber One Oats & Chocolate bar | -2 |
| Pretzel Sticks | -2 |
| Fiber One Raisin Bran Cruch w/ Skim milk | -4 |
| Zone Protein Bar | -4 |
| Total: | 0 |
Flex Points Remaining: 29
Activity: PT Session
So after last night’s PT session, my trainer was talking to me about my food intake, and in his opinion, I’m not taking in enough food for the activity that we are doing. He apparently doesn’t think WW is good for someone as active as I am…but I also think he doesn’t know anything about WW. I don’t generally eat my activity points, because well this month I’ve been trying to get the numbers down again…which I have. So it’s possible that I *MIGHT* need to try and eat more on the days I work out with him so that my energy level is high enough to make it through his workouts. I was really offended (yet again) by his comments though…first I wasn’t giving enough effort and had an attitude, and now he thinks I’m not eating right…I can’t win with this guy. I have one more training session paid for, and after that it’s a toss up of whether I will continue. I really want to, but I’m also not paying this jerk $40 a week to continue to put me down. I really don’t think he is trying to be mean, but he also needs to learn how to get his point across without being an ass. I’m sure he is someone who has never been overweight in his life, so he really doesn’t understand what a long journey and hard process this is! But either way, I KNOW WW works, um hello I’ve been doing it for 15 months now! So I’m going to keep up what I’m doing, maybe add some more food the days I work out with him to see if it helps, and go from there.
Yeah, it definitely sounds like you might need a personal trainer! When you’re working out to gain muscle mass, you do need to eat A LOT. But when you’re trying to lose weight (or keep it off), then as long as you’re eating your activity points and something reasonably healthy before work-outs, there shouldn’t be a problem.
Several years ago, I worked out with a personal trainer and followed the diet she suggested. I lost weight-a little- but I also bulked up. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think super-muscley is an attractive look for me!
Find someone who can keep you motivated without making you upset-there are lots of personal trainers out there!
Might need a NEW personal trainer, I meant to say ^_^.
