Pterath's Journal, 04 January 2016

The past few weeks... no months have been emotional and stressful. I let things go a bit during the holidays esp the last 2 weeks and I am not only seeing it but suffering and feeling it. up 10+ lbs which is just the thing I expected as i jumped off the wagon I did not go whole hog but enough and for too long. IBS agitated, heartburn back in force, hot flashes have escalated. UGH I feel awful.

I also have not worked out for the past 2 weeks. Mostly due to the holidays and a double ear infection that I went to the dr again today only to find out that it has developed into an effusion which if you don't speak dr speak that my ear drum has become bulbous from all the fluid behind it. Soonest I can get into an ENT is Jan 21st for a consult. They can let it go as long as 12 weeks before deciding to drain it and I am praying with my hearing already reduced that I don't have permanent dmg.

But it is New Year and I went to the gym today and back on low carb. Though I was not as strict as I ought to be today but I still lowered my intake and the carbs A LOT. I know the scale will not immediately be kind... none of the other numbers will either. :P But getting back to it and killing it is my goal this year. I am un-thwarted. My new Life resolution remains the same discover the better me.

You can DO this! Low carb is working for me as nothing else ever has. I hope tomorrow is better for you, and remember, we're all in this together. We're here for you!

I know how you feel. I lost a bunch of weight early in the year and in the fall started to relax and put it back on. Here's to getting back on track. I returned to the diet that I started last year. More of a life style. It is also a low carb (no refined carb) diet. You technically don't even need to count calories.

Now that you are back in the game you will see positive results. Hopefully you will be feeling better really soon. Those holidays are killer!

It's so easy to get off track during the holidays for many reasons. Plus life has ups and downs and we're human. You're being honest with yourself and getting re-started on your plan, that's the thing to do. Let's make it a great year.
