Frustration!
February 03, 2022
I've spent the last few weeks frustrated.
Mostly because my medical team and my weight loss team don't get how much I exercise.
The straw that hit the camel's back is when my Profile coach mentioned in the meeting recap, that I work out 20-30 minutes a day.
That's just the warm up. Seriously. I walk 20-30 minutes a day, then 10-20 minutes of weight training, and another 30-45 minutes of cycling. I am currently working with a personal trainer, and that's 45 minutes of strength training, with the cardio sandwich. I will say I do cardio only on the day before and day after the workout with the personal trainer but then I step up the cardio to 60 minutes.
According to Apple Fitness, my resting energy is 2140 calories and my active energy is 790 calories. Profile had me on a 1500 calorie a day plan, and I was literally starving in the evening.
I finally got Profile attention when I posted in the Facebook group. They heard me and talked to the manager and she agreed that I needed to go to their Performance Plan. I was already better yesterday evening, didn't feel like eating the house. I did make a slight mistake by eating an extra starch, not a fruit, but it's a process.
My social worker is having me not weigh and to focus my mind on losing weight. We'll see how that works. I did weigh because I have a telemedicine class today, but I am losing weight, so there is that.
