My new CDC came to see me tonight and she was absolutely lovely. A totally different experience from the last one. She gave me all my books and weighed me (yep - the last one didn't even do that!) and sat and chatted and answered all my questions. She stayed for an hour and really seemed to care about me and my goal. I heart her!
We decided that given I am about to start training for a half marathon, I should do 810 for a few weeks and then see how I am going. If I want to get into training I will need to move up a plan, but if I feel like I am not happy with the losses I can do less exercise and move onto SS+.
I am worried that my weightlosses won't be as good, but she promises that with the amount of exercise I am doing at the moment (she even suggested I cut back a bit for these first 2 weeks, but we'll see!) it is better to have mroe calories so my body doesn't burn muscle and slow my metabolism down any further. I would lose less weight overall that way. I hope she's right, but she seems so enthusiastic and lovely that I feel I can pout my trust in her.
Fingers crossed!
It also helped that I have lost 5lb in 3 days! She had to weigh me and I said that my scales must weigh me heavier, but I double checked on my own and it was real! I'd lost 5lb
I'm counting that as my first weeks weight loss - it'll do for me!!!
Sorry to ramble I am just excited!
