Well, perhaps not long-awaited, but whatever…an update nonetheless.
In the last couple of months, Dave and I have continued with our trainers at Goodlife. He is seeing quite a bit of progress in that he is gaining muscle and strength. I, on the other hand, have not. There was the weight loss that occurred when I first switched trainers, but I haven’t really seen any since. I am improving in other areas, better endurance, strength, etc., but I think we all know that the main thing I want to get out of all of this is weight loss. And since the majority of people who hear this ask, no I haven’t seen much (if any) decrease in inches either.
My trainer has been looking over my food logs since I started with him, and recommended I stop eating dairy. So I did. It was hard at first since I love cheese and milk, but I have adjusted and don’t notice that often. I still consume probably about a cup or so of some sort of milk product throughout each week, but that is pretty much it. He also recommended I start with the nutritionist at Goodlife. For a while I said no as I wasn’t entirely happy with the progress I had seen thus far with the rest of the resources at the gym, but have since decided to give it a try.
I met with her last Tuesday and have my second session this coming Tuesday. So far we have just gone over the basics of the program and this coming session we will be setting up some sort of plan. To be honest, I don’t know what to expect. My hopes have been shot down so many times it is hard to get them raised even remotely right now. I have not resigned myself to being overweight for the rest of my life, I am just not as hopeful as I once was.
Sorry to leave things on such a bummer note, I just don’t have much else to say right now. Hopefully things will turn around now that I have an entire team behind me.
