Ok I'll be real with you. I haven't been as diligent over the last few weeks as I should have been about being responsible with my food intake. Let's just not talk about how "Not diligent" I've been. Moving on...

I'm back on the wagon. I have been meeting with a nutritionist and am being held accountable to stick on a calorie plan of 1500/day. If I fill up on veggies and protein, I am pretty satisfied. One issue that I do run into though, is my off day. Saturday is my day off from both school and work. I struggle with my diet on this day because stopping and resting is kind of unnerving for me (though desperately needed).

My nutritionist suggested that I plan my rest days out. I'm on the fence about that because I like having one day that isn't scheduled. We'll see. I do need to think a little bit about a plan regardless.

I am also working with a personal trainer. I meet with him once a week for the next 12 weeks. He has given me a lot of great tips to tweek my typical routine that I have platued on. He's so creative and the work outs are very interesting. It turns out that I have not been lifting heavy enough. I figured. I'm done with the laziness - now I'm really pumping iron...like a man. Well, pumping iron like a man who loves the color pink and also wants to build lean muscle and slim down... I'm hard core.

I have an ignited hope now that was previously beginning to wain. I have also decided to not do any more sugar or "over eating" until I start my period again... (I really don't think anyone reads this... so if my blog starts becoming popular will you tell me that you think it's getting popular so I won't say things like "my period" before everyone?! Thanks.)... anyone once my body decides that it's going to do it's thang, I'll pig out on pasta and chocolate for a day... but not until then.

Maybe around spring break I'll post some follow up pictures to the ones I have already posted. We'll see how hot I am by then and if it's remotely acceptable, I'll reveal my swim suite bod.

With God and a spirit of self control, all things related to my particular weight loss goals are possible!
