Today, I weighed myself, and surprise, I am down to 196 pounds on the button. That's 35 official pounds down since I started LCHF/primal last year... Yikes. So I did some measurements and discovered that my neck has shrunk down to less than 14.5".
<--- Check me out.
Maybe I'm finally over my weight loss plateau.
I also noticed that I have not updated my Numbers Do Not Lie page in, oh, 17 weeks. Striking. That's embarassment at plateau-ing, for ya.
Here's what I am up to these days. The theme is "back on track".
Fitness: I am back at the gym, trying to get some challenging workouts in. I have contacted a local health and fitness coach, who I am going to meet up with on March 10th, to see about getting some training. The good things are (1) he was recommended to me by someone I know who is in the business (but who is not local and thus cannot train me himself); and (2) he advocates primal nutrition for optimal health, and seems to be into the "lift heavy things" and "chronic cardio is bad" school of thought. So, that meshes with what I've learned, in theory, about primal nutrition and fitness from Mark Sisson. I say "in theory" because I am not doing so hot with the primal fitness aspect of this lifestyle. I am still a little intimidated by the fitness world, and I loathe trying new things in front of a gym full of strangers. That's why I sought out this trainer. I am hoping that this will change some things for me and get me back on track with my weight loss.
Diet: I hate to admit it, but I have been slackin'. I'm not completely non-compliant, but I am being a little too lenient with my food choices. I have been eating out quite a bit, which is a no-no due to the presence of hidden carbs and quality questions regarding the source of the food that comes out on the plate. I do better (we all do better) when we eat at home. This is easier said than done when you are a busy mamasita. Like me. Also, I have to admit that I have been nibbling on forbidden things. A bit of rice here, a little spoonful of pasta there, and just a dollop of "do you mind if I have a bite of that" all adds up to a slippery slope back to fat. I don't want to go there.
Let's do this!!
