Bye Bye Week 7..

Week 7 is now finally over. I lost 2.5 lbs this week. Not as good as I would have hoped but I think it had a lot to do with all the sodium I had at dinner last night. Typically if you have a ton of sodium right before you weigh in, it will show you didn't lose weight or lost less. So hopefully next week will be a better week. My good friend Tanya is going to start the program and I wanted to give her a SHOUT OUT!! Go Girl! You can do it! I can help you if you need help!

This week I get beans added. I HATE beans but I do like hummus so that means I can have that. I will add it in to see how it goes. I'm really comfortable with how I'm eating now so adding something take time for me to adjust. This is stage 6. There are 7 stages total and the last stage is grains. I can't wait for that, that means I get to have RICE!!! Well brown rice, but still RICE none the less. I am excited for that. Just about 1 more month to go on the program.

I have a little rant... My knee has been bothering me lately. It's sore and tender to the touch. Slightly to the left of my knee cap on my right leg. After hurting for a few weeks (yes I waited that long) I finally went to see my chiropractor. I made a physical therapy appt at the proclub just in case. Thought 2 opinions is always better than one. Well I went in with my chiropractor (which he kicks ass by the way, he's great!) after about 2 minutes he makes his diagnosis and does what he does and tells me what I need to do after. GREAT! Problem solved. I decided to see the PT guy anyway just to see if he agrees with my chiropractors diagnosis. OH god where do I begin... This guy was a total IDIOT! He was trying to figure out what was wrong. He looked at me half an hour later and said you're a mystery! What? Are you serious? Are you kidding me? He could NOT tell why my knee was bothering me and what the hell was going on. SO I decided to educate him on what my chiropractor told me and guess what.. He agreed and said that's about right. WHAT? I just told you my diagnosis and you're going to take that? You must not have been able to get a "REAL" job as a PT person so you are working here. GREAT I hope that not all the PT's are like that at the proclub. So safe to say I don't have a follow up appointment with him and I don't think I will be going back to the proclub for PT...


On a lighter note, this week I learned how to bake my own muffins using the protein powder packets that they have for this program. It has now officially saved me at least $25 dollars a week! I typically have a muffin with peanut butter and strawberries for breakfast and one for a snack. I tell you the stuff they sell at the gym, although convenient and perfectly portioned.. is a RACKET! So I've decided to try a few new recipes this week and hopefully those go well. I will share them with the ladies in my group session on Monday.

Next week will be my 8th week so I will have all of my current stats up to date.
