My trainers are great, one handles the exercise, the other the nutrition. The only time that is amusing is when I have to ask them embarassing questions. I am rather prudish. so when my supplements started to give me diaherria, I tried to avoid asking the obvious question. what could be causing this?

As I am getting more in tuned with hunger signals and was are good portions and food combinations. Understanding satiety and thirst, have been really eye opening.  I drink water now if I feel hungry first. I am very surprised at how have taken refined sugar out of my diet have helped with high and lows.

I love my sensing my insulin levels and understanding why it is that I am eating clean. I ate the wrong things, at the  wrong times and in the wrong portions.  I have survived eating out with friends and not drinking anymore.

I have made time to cook and plan my meals.  I have my parents in town this weekend and know they are going to be thrilled to see my new eating habits. I also am confident I can maneuver this holiday weekend.  Food is losing its stronghold in my life. it is not as much of an obssession now. I am placing the body transformation in God’s hands. I am doing my part but when I am weak, He is strong.

Training is going well.  I am resting and recovering now and have stopped overtraining.  The weight is now starting to melt off.  I am trying to meditate more and relax.  I imagine I must be one big cortisol mess.  I am more conscious  now of how much I stress about work, food, and life.  I acitively try to stop and slow my breathing and center myself when I start to feel tense.

 My legs have been cramping since my leg workout with Saturday, my trainer outdid himself.  I took my BCAA before and after and it made a huge difference.  I have gotten on a good supplement schedule and I think that is part of the reason the weight is starting to drop off nicely.  My body feels tighter and stronger.  I have been stretching my legs like crazy.  I have a foam roller and a Tiger Tail, without which I would probably getting more massages. 

 I have noticed that I feel more naseseous lately.  I have also had more headaches.  I am not sure what that is all about.  I have been eating clean and I know that my body is not happy about that.  The good news is that I don’t feel tempted to cheat.  I have worked to hard to backslide, each pound lost has been so hard that I am not yo-yoing anymore.  I really feel this is a lifestyle change and junk food is not part of my life anymore.  I have survived many temptations.  I am taking an appetite supppressant (Pride Nutrition’s Control) and I don’t know if that is why it has not been too bad.  I am not going to experiment to see though.  I am going to just keep taking it.

I am doing arms and back today.  I imagine it will go well.
