Well, I’m beginning my second full week of training/diet from my personal trainer. The first week or so has had its ups and downs. The first few weeks, she has me on a really restricted diet and that’s been hard. I always said I wanted someone just to TELL me what to eat, I was so tired of thinking about it. But, a funny thing–it turns out that I don’t LIKE to be told exactly what to eat and that I have to eat the same thing every day for several weeks running. Go figure!

As far as the weight loss goes, I think I’ve lost a couple pounds, but that is it. My trainer was hoping for 6-7 pounds the first two week and i think she’s going to be pretty disappointed when I meet with her next Friday.

Still, the program is working to keep my blood sugars stable all day (I have diabetes) and I have FELT better. I’m ramping up my exercise and that has me feeling good too. I’m still adjusting to eating 6 small meals a day, and I’ve been in withdrawal from cheese, carbie snacks like popcorn and pretzels, and processed foods.

I had a really bad/down day last week and I emailed the trainer about feeling so frustrated. She’s calling me tomorrow to talk. I think that I can still do this and I just need a pep talk (or a kick in the pants, whichever works best!) I’ll update on here Friday after my next training session. Wish me luck!!!
