My last post was cut off. And while I don't remember exactly where I left off, i know it had to do with menopause.
I've begun working out with a personal trainer twice a week. And mostly I work do jiu jitsu twice a week. I love doing both. The sweat, the sore and tight muscles. The buzz from doing something great for my health. In addition I have modified my eating (cheating once a week - twice at most) in hopes of burning calories in addition to consuming less which in turn should mean loosing inches. So far I have maintained the inches. Tonight I am not happy about the current state of circumference (haha).
While battling weight gain is far better than battling cancer, the struggle is real. The struggle of menopause weight gain and trying to get control of loosing it in ways that worked when I had hormones to "balance things" out. And the truth is I dont care about weight so much. But I don't like the fact that my clothes no longer fit the way they should. I can't button my pants, my tops are tight in areas they shouldn't be. Bah!
I am rereading and will begin the Whole
