I got an eliptical machine in March & started using Sensa. I've put on about 5 pounds. Plus I have IBS, so my stomach is more bloated than ever. I've been really frustrated. I went for my yearly check up today & my doctor told me to cut out all sugar & carbs. I love both. I can't do the fake sugars because they give me a headache & make me dizzy. I feel like I eat somewhat healthy. I have cereal for breakfast (I have like 10 different types) & usually eat salad for lunch. I eat yogurt with fruit & granola. My doc said not to eat yogurt because of the sugar & no fruit (I'm very picky & only like a few fruits anyway. We are going strawberry picking next Tuesday I was thinking of all the smoothies & fake strawberry shortcakes I would make). I feel like I'm eating healthy, but I'm really not. I have no energy & feel like I have chronic fatigue syndrome. I nap most days. The doctor said to try cutting out sugar or cut down & see if I have more energy. Also to exercise everyday instead of 3x a week. I'm hoping to get back into pilates (I did it today), plus the eliptical & bike riding might help. I am also going to be seeing a nutritionist again in July. I guess it takes baby steps & one day at a time. Little changes each day & cutting out foods & cutting down.
Good luck to you in your quest to get healthy! It really is hard. It's too bad we don't live closer, we could exercise together.
ReplyDeleteI buy healthy foods, but tend to not eat as much and end up throwing it away when it rots. The problem is that I also buy the not so healthy foods and prefer to eat that instead.
I really should go see a nutritionist one of these days. I bloat a LOT too! When I brought it up to a dr. in January, she just said to stay away from salt. I feel like it's a lot more than that though. I don't have a lot of energy either and often feel drained.
I'm sorry you have IBS. I've heard it can be really painful.
Best wishes to you. I know the struggles and highs and low all to well. Just stick through it! Stopping in from SITS.
