The weight loss real deal

I am the world’s worst blogger.   Being a clinical counselor I’m require to spend most of my day in session and all  I do is document. When I come home and rest and on my day off I don’t want to see the computer screen let alone wright a post. Did my amazing justification pardon my absence? 

 Life has changed so much for me this year so many amazing things have come to pass.  I think the biggest one has me continuing to learn about my weight loss journey. Let’s see since my last post I was    at 208  well I am an amazing 225 . I say this because life happened and so does muscle. I retired weight watchers because all I knew was Points Plus and that isn’t really learning about nutrition as a whole. I went on to My fitness pal i was also at a plateau  and I wanted to switch it up. I focused on   Macros and learning how to maintain my weight I continued to stay active I work out 5 days a week.  I still very much weight lift and bust my ass with Cardio.   Although a learning  process  I can say all my gain wasn’t just muscle, vacations and life happen and I’m really okay with it. I’m still the same size I was in January 12/14   and I weight more.   I’ve also learned  an extremely important lessons. The scale has no power over my emotions unless I give it power. That took a lot of inner self work.  I’m glad I went through the ups and downs of my journey in the last 10 months.  I’ve learned  nutrition, self-love  and body image love because it boils down to how you feel on the inside and what demons you are facing you can get to goal weight but if you are facing issues inwards you will never be satisfied and when you look in the mirror you won’t feel good. I’ve also learned to trust the process you see I left weight watchers just because I wasn’t getting the results fast enough I thought for sure it wasn’t working for me anymore ,  (DUH)  I was gaining muscle  is what was the problem never the less   I had to learn what I had to learn and I’m thankful for it nothing is  every by chance.    

 So moving forward what’s my plan of attack  well  my goal is to lose 35 more pounds  and maintain  my weight  so I have once again started back on weight watchers and I am down 3.5 pound  BOOM !!
