I have been gone for so long but it's time to bring it back.
Here is a fast update...
I got engaged ( yeah to marriage)
I graduated from grad school
I got a job
I moved to Indiana
I went through training
That brings me here. Life has been crazy and the weeks memories a bit hazy but that is a update... So now that we are up to speed... I have gained about 5lbs and I have all the sad faces in the world...
I have upgraded from a size 2 to a size 4 in a rather embarrassing way. I bought some skinny dress pants at the gap about two weeks ago , Yesterday I decide to try them on for size. They fit so I thought... I went to meet with some people and I felt a breeze between my thighs... I bust right out of those pants in a meeting. I know no one else notice but I was hella embarrassed. I crossed my legs the whole meeting and walked rather awkwardly to the car and then to my apartment to change... can we say hot mess.
Here is the situation. With my job I have 20 meals a week free. FREE I SAY! The food is really good and it is all you can eat. The first month I did exactly what the meal plan suggested. I ate all I could thus the sudden 5lbs of weight gain ( which it may be more however I refuse to get back on the scale). Thing about it I feel totally uncomfortable. My skin feels tight... not feeling this extra weight at all. It is a total of 20lbs more then I weighed last year. This is not the business.
So I am not a person who complains without finding some solutions to help with the problem. I have talked to some people who have successfully lost weight. They told me to change my eating habits. To stay away from breads and pastas, and anything made with white flour. They also told me to stay away from sweet drinks, which is easy for me because I only drink water. I tried that today ... I missed breakfast I need to get better with that ... but getting up at 7am is not the business. For lunch i had a wheat peanut butter sandwich, a load of veggies, and water. For dinner I had a salad with olive oil and fruit. I also snacked on tortilla chips and guac. My people, My people. I am freakin' starving! STARVING! I AM SO HANGRY ( angry +hungry). How can I lose weight , maintain my weight, and be full... I can't do grains or protein shakes because they make me gag completely ... yuk! I need help , I am taking suggestions.
I plan on working out more, but I am deathly terrified of the gym ( that is another day another dollar). I am putting myself on a 365 wedding bang body challenge... but I need to do this in a matter where I feel comfortable , full, and happy... and today I am none of those things. Taking suggestions as I go search for a snack... I AM BACKKKKKK!
