Thanks to the recomendations of the nutritionist and rabidgirl I have been consuming a LOT less sugar, and I am really starting to see and feel a change.
I haven't yet had the nerve to get on the scale. I was out of town the last 3 weekends, so I don't feel like I have had enough consecutive "clean eating " days to have made a huge difference. But I have been a lot more aware of what I have been eating. I am also logging my food in fitday again. I was amazed to see that I was only eating around 1300 cals a day. I just think it was to little for my body based on my activity level.
Even when we were out I tried to watch it, and I had a lot of salads with grilled chicken and no dressing- or just oil and vinegar. Tony is trying to lose weight as well, so it's easier when you have a spouse right there with you. I did have some sugar at legoland. I just couldn't resist the granny smith apple fries. YUM! But I paid the price later when I felt like crud!
But like I said, I am feeling better, more energy, sleeping better etc.
Oh- and I wore a pair of shorts today that previously were too tight and uncomfortable! And I wore them to the gym for my personal training session... So I was feeling pretty dang smug today!
Oh- and that is another thing... I have really turned my training around. I am now with a trainer twice a week working on upper body and core. We do legs too, but I kick butt on the leg machines. He laughs that my legs are so strong- yet ,my arms aren't... OY! sigh...
