Bad bad bad.....

So that was the year I lost 20 pounds and gained 21....a poor performance and I'm feeling pretty low. Karen has been very good telling me that now we know we can do it AND we know that it's not something you can ever 'stop' doing - hence off we go again. We also looked at a book which listed 45 perimenopausal symptoms and I have about 42 of them - the relevant one being 'finding it increasingly hard to lose weight'! What have I learnt?....Well eating less food does mean you lose weight but without any exercise to control the hormones it is unsustainable; eating whatever you like and exercising like mad makes you feel great and you do lose weight - but again it's unsustainable to keep that level of exercise going. Travelling around and eating out is the real deal breaker for me - it gets me out of the zone and I find it really hard to get back on track. Am off to the gym in 15 mins.....
