Panic Mode

I didn't lose anything at last weigh-in. What a bummer. I started to panic when I realized the scale hadn't changed. I immediately contacted the nutritionalist and the trainer because I was concerned that at the rate I was going, I might not get to my goal weight. Nevertheless, they assured me everything was fine and I am on track. But to calm my fears I am working with the trainer to increase the number of workouts I have per week, provided my daily routine doesn't get interrupted. The nutritionalist will also be reviewing what I am eating from time to time and give me suggestions for improvement.

I actually started out doing a food journal everyday but then got lazy somewhere in between and stopped doing that. This will help me to monitor what I am putting in my mouth also because I now have to be accountable when I submit journals to the nutritionalist. I am reassured that I will make my goal but I am not so sure I will ever be happy with how slow it comes off.

The next challenge? My birthday is tomorrow and I will be celebrating all week I am sure. In the past it has been with food. Let's see if I can improve the quantity and quality of food this year!
