I am not going to lie, I am so dissapointed in myself. I had two good days at my retreat over the weekend and then 2 bad days. I went from 199.8 on 4/23 to 207.2 on 4/28. I just can't seem to get it togehter! I don't know what else to do but keep trying. I am down to 203 this morning at least, but this weight gain has set me back a few days to reach my goal by my doctor appointment.
I'm so frustrated with myslef. I need to try to take that energy and put it into doing better. My pain levels have been high, I'm having a hard time getting to sleep at night. So I am going to start a daily journal. I know I say this all the time, but I'm going to try again. I want to write down how I slept, pain level, etc.
Sleep - had trouble getting to sleep. Had severe itching in my hands. Lower legs ached when I finally lied down to go to bed and had restless leg syndrom. Joint pain was high in my legs this morning. Pain going up the stairs to get the cash bag.
Diet - I had a few high carb items yesterday. Had a Quest bar, but that was high in fiber. But still a processed food. Also had a small amount of Snyder Cheddar Pretzels. Had a bologna wrap with lettuce and american cheese. Highly processed. Had alfredo sauce and brocolli for dinner. Had salted peanuts as a snack.
I am looking to possibly start a mix of Keto/Mediterranean diet. I'm considering adding a lot more healthy carbs back into my diet. Doing a little reading this morning, this may be a good choice for me while trying to figure out what is going to work with going through menopause. I am also finding out that a lot of the issues I am having could be from lower estrogen levels. So my body changes at least have a reasonable explanation. Losing weight is also difficult during post menopause.
Oh the joys of being a woman! Well, I'm going to do my best not to let all of this discourage me and keep tying my best to figure this out. Onward....
