Who knew??

OK-

So I have been working my butt off for over 6 months and hadn't lost much. I was really frustrated with everything because I was actually doing the right thing! So I had him run all tests to make sure my thyroid wasn't jacked- since my grandma had thyroid issues I thought it might be worth a shot :)

All the blood work came back fine- which is good- although I was secretly hoping that there was something I could take a pill for to fix me. But alas- no :)

I was also sent to a nutritionist. The nutritionist had a lot of great info for me. Turns out I AM NOT EATING ENOUGH!!! What great words to hear right??? You need to eat more?!?! My body thought I was starving so it was holding on for dear life!! So I have upped my cal intake and lo and behold the weight is starting to come off- I have lost over 6lbs in the past 2 weeks. I am really excited about this!

I have also discovered how hard it is to eat ALL the foods you are supposed to eat in the day- I can't just add a trip to Taco Bell to up my cal intake- it has to be the right foods. So I am having to plan a little more to make sure that I get everything in. The key here is to be prepared. I have to have my line up of snacks ready before I get out the door for work.

Anyway- that's what's new with me. I will see you on the flip side!

  1. Amazing how our bodies work and how uneducated we all are!! Congrats on the weight loss, but I bet the planning is the hardest part. :)

  2. What great news! I really can't wait to hear what your nutritionist said. How much did she recommend of everything? Seems like that specialty is underutilized. We could all use a consultation - what is more important for overall health than knowing just what our bodies need? So cool Amy!
