How the heck do you get off a plateau!?? This is ridiculously frustrating. I added exercise into my lifestyle and nothing is changing. Add in the all the aches and pains and I'm not feeling all that positive. I know Doc says my job is to NOT gain weight, but I really don't feel like this should be a thing. WHY would I lose all that weight, then begin exercising and stop? I actually walked out of the gym the other day without doing any of my machines because I feel so dejected. Still did my 30 minutes of cardio and some stretching.
Doc thinks I'm not drinking enough water. Apparently, a woman my size should be drinking close to 3 liters a day. Sheesh! Magnesium was added as a supplement. I had also run out of my probiotic, which I apparently need. Learned that protein uses a lot of water, so if we're eating high protein diets AND we're having a heat spell... in other words "YES" humidity can wreak that much havoc on a body. Unfortunately, I'm still trying to find that glorious balance I had before the heat spell. H.Pylori test was negative. That's a relief! I really didn't want to deal with the antibiotic aftermath.
Time for me to bite the bullet and hit the gym again. (What is the definition of insanity?)
*edited to update: I just got caught following doctor's orders. That felt pretty good! It was also cool to see my doctor practicing what he preaches. :D
