Yay!!

I hope you guys aren't sick of hearing about my work out escapades! I can't help it! I am trying to stay motivated and writing stuff out has been helping...

The other thing that is helping... I had a meeting with the trainer at the gym. I haven't lost any lbs., but she measured me and I have lost THREE inches off my waist, 1/2 inch off each: arm, hips and calves, and 1/4 inch off my thighs! WHOO HOO!! I have lost 0.2% body fat - hardly anything, but she said that was expected since I haven't actually lost any lbs. (And I am at least going in the right direction!)

I spoke with her about how my downfall is eating. And how I was bummed there is no nutritionist at The Hartford anymore = and she said I could meet with her on a regular basis to go over nutrition. I can not tell you how happy I was to hear that. I have been thinking about looking into whether insurance would cover visits to a nutirionist. It isn't so much that I don't know: Snickers = not nutritious, green beans = nutritious. But what I need is feedback and someone to be accountable to.

So yeah = I am feeling good! I am going to be able to carry this positive attitude through Thanksgiving. I always do OK with Thanksgiving dinner... but then the desseerts come out and I eat like I am in an eating competition. This year I will pick one favorite and have a small portion. I mean - really... Do I NEED ice cream? I don't even care for ice cream that much... and it is so COMMON... I can get it and have it any time of the year. Now... if Shawn's mom makes some Lemon Meringue Pie... That is a different story.
