Tomorrow I am going to weigh in & I am expecting a gain after not tracking for a week or so. I've considered seeing a nutritionist in the past at the suggestion of DH. So I contacted one and her wellness package is $360. DH says it isn't that much in the grand scheme of things and amounts of money I've spent on diet stuff that didn't work before. Yet, I told him if I go and they say ok you need to eat, whole grains, lean proteins & fruits and veggies, that is yet another waste of money. I know this, and why should I pay someone else to tell me this. Now they say they would give me a custom food map for my nutrition goals but I am sure it involves the food I've listed. So I feel I should try to do this for my self first. Also I've been toying w/ an idea for the last few months, and honestly I've looked into it a couple times in years past. I've been thinking about become a certified personal trainer. I talked if over w/ DH and he thinks if I want to I should go for it. At this point I can't imagine anyone using me as a trainer but I would find the information very interesting. I want to learn how to make work outs and how my muscles work. There is a 3 hour test at the end you have to take and pass to get your certification. Can I see it as my future career??? Not yet…. But the money I would put towards a nutritionist could go towards my certification instead.
SO! I have a new plan. Tomorrow I will go weigh in and then start the Weight Watchers Simply filling plan. This plan is to eat lean proteins, whole grains, fruits & veggies and use your 49 weekly points towards other things like butter, cheese, snacks. DH is on board and is going to eat what ever I need to eat. He has been talking about wanting to lose a few pound before the STP in just a couple weeks. More he loses the less he has to peddle to Portland, he says. I am going to make a two week meal plan and repeat it. I also have my chiropractor apt and my back is feeling better so I am hoping he will tell me I am good to run again tomorrow. So back to my C25K are slightly altered to get back into the swing of it. Then after the next month if I am doing well on the simply filling then I will not get the nutritionist apt and seriously consider starting the process to get my trainer certification.
My goals for the next 4 weeks.
-Stick to the simply filling plan and track every nibble
-Get back to my running!!!
-Start cross training on non running days
-Make it through Vacation w/o binging
-Take my vitamins & supplements daily
-Do my Mud to Chocolate 5K in under 45 mins
-the one I am dreading the most…… Stop drinking pop
It's time to focus. I feel stronger, I feel more capable, I am putting my mind to this and I will accomplish these things in the next 4 weeks. I am ready to start feeling healthy. Even with all my running. I felt in better shape but I still feel like I am keeping my body from going the next step but still choosing to eat crap w/ my weekly points. It was always like woohoo it's weigh in day time to eat fried food. That stops this week. My morning trip to Starbucks for breakfast 2 days a week stops now. Now is the time to push a little harder.
