I'm still doing work. I went to my NASM certification workshop this weekend and it was chocked full of knowledge. I really enjoyed myself and came to realize it really is what I want to do.
The truth is I felt so self conscious there. I was by far the only overweight person there but on the other hand i felt reaffirmed that i would reach my goals and come back stronger than ever as I grow in the field and into myself.
I almost binge ate driving home. The weekend was filled with emotional highs and lows for me and it was hard not to go back and buy cheese puffs and cheddar/sour cream potato chips or doritos at the gas station. I ended up purchasing cashews and beef jerky to accompany the 2 rice cakes and water I had in the car already. Small victory but a victory nonetheless. Eventually they will all add up and I will have won the entire war! lol
Anyway, aside from all the great info the conference was hell on my diet. I couldn't eat as often even though I packed food. There was no fridge in my hotel room so the cottage cheese i packed went bad. Nevertheless when I did eat I made healthy choices so I am proud of that. On the other hand I was so ravenous I got most of my calories late in the day so that was not a good look. If anything it really did teach me that when you skip breakfast you set yourself up for failure for the rest of the day. Anyway, just a little tidbit on my journey. Of course there's always more....
