Day 7

Rest

But I also lost 4 lb of muscle..major bummer…*Jawdropping*!

She told me to increase my caloric intake by 100 Kcals a day so I would not be losing so much muscle.

Great, I don’t even know what I am doing in how much calories I have been doing a day. Things get so busy and my daughters graduation is coming and the in-laws are coming and and and that I don’t write down what I eat.
*Emotional*

Well, lovely people, if I can hold on to this and keep moving forward to 145lb, things will be grand!

See you all in the super hero comic books!

I feel like I have tried everything from changing my diet to working out different to taking thermogenics (they did not work).

Does stress really have a hold on a person to the point no matter how hard they work out, build muscle, and cardio cardio cardio, the fat holds on?

I do not know how to get rid of this fat around my waist and bring up my metabolism!  Are there any suggestions out there, which I have not tried yet?  Or am I stuck at 180 for the rest of my life?
