Hello ladies...I'm not sure if anyone remembers me, but I posted a few months ago and lost 10 lbs. Well now I am back and heavier than ever (well not my highest ever thankfully, but still...) and just HORRIFIED at what happened. How could I gain 15 pounds in 6 months? I don't eat THAT badly- perhaps I am deluding myself? Am I so old now that my metabolism has slowed down?
Anyways a bit about me in my absence...
1. I hurt my foot in March, and it was painful to walk on for about 2 months. No one was able to tell me what was wrong with it (no broken bones, no arthritis). Even now it is still not fully healed, but I've learned to live with it.
2. Since I started my new job in March, I'm absolutely exhausted every day after work. So much so that if I lay down after work, I would fall asleep instantly and sleep until 7 AM the next morning. Which is fun. If I convince myself to get up and move, I'm somewhat okay. Of course I told my doctor this, she did some blood tests and nothing came back. I guess it's just something else I will have to live with (yes, I'm having a pity party today).
So, positive things! I signed up for a hip hop dance class and a bootcamp class, both one evening a week. I'm also going to do one evening of yoga a week, as well as continue swimming (I at least do that!). I've also tried to cut down on my eating the last few days so I'll soon be back in the swing of things
I just feel like a worn down veteran of dieting...and it's depressing! I'm just mad that I could gain that much weight in 6 months, whereas before I gained only 10 lbs in 2 previous years of eating badly and not exercising AT ALL.
Can't wait to talk to everyone on the boards!
