It's been almost 2 weeks and I'm maintaining my new weight of 128lbs. I'm running quite a bit (either 3-plus miles or a dozen sets of stairs, 4 days a week). Next week I'll start lifting weights again. The diet is going ok (lots of protein and green veges, no starch, dairy or fruits). Sometimes I get insane carb crvings - especially after I run - but mostly I'm ok. I do cheat every day. I cannot live without any fruit, so I eat small amounts of low-glycemic, low calorie berries like strawberries, blueberries and rasberries. They stop me from wanting to shoot myself and others.
This weekend is my dear friend's wedding, and I've bought a fabulous, girlie dress. And I'm taking the night off my diet. I'm not going to go hog-wild, but I am going to eat what's offered, not substituting asparagus for sweet potato if that's what's on my plate. I'm looking forward to it! The next morning I plan to go for a long run on the beach. Calories in, calories out.
About Me
- Alysia
- I'm a 33 year old Australian living in Orange County CA. I'm happily married and LOVE my life. My work is really fun - helping people change their lives is as fulfilling as it gets! I'm basically a personal trainer, but I specialize in working with people to help fix their posture and stop their backs from hurting. I also teach Kettlebells - a rigorous workout, tougher than any bootcamp! My struggle is keeping slim, even though I work out more often than not, and I run (sometimes stairs, sometimes miles). I eat well most of the time too. I think I ruined my metabolism with anorexia almost 10 years ago. I recovered quickly emotionally, but my body isn't co-operating. I gain weight in a week and it takes MONTHS to get it back off. So I'm doing this program with Dr Purcell to re-set my metabolism and use my experience to help others. **Go to the "What is Medical Weight Loss?" post for an overview of the program.**
