So I did go see the nutritionist/trainer on Friday as I said..& we're going to try a route of whole foods for a month & see how that works for my system combined with a a changed up workout routine that includes some cardio every day _ but Not HIIT( pretty much all on the recumbent bike until my stupid foot has a chance to heal up a bit better).
I guess I learned I need to listen to my body a little bit closer to find what will really work for Me.
At this point I'm willing to try something new since I've done BFL by the book & all sorts of other "programs" over the yrs never managing to see the results I want.
So we'll see how this works..
Then on the weekend I went camping with my daughters Guide group IN THE POURING RAIN!! & I learned that regardless of what list of supplies you send home -parents seem to send these kids VERY unprepared for bad weather. We knew it was going to be wet & cold!
Thank God I'm notorious for over packing- I spent yesterday morning gathering back toques, mitts, fleece pants & tops while trying to dimantle tents & tarps in the Pouring rain!
All in all it really was an enjoyable time - we had good group of girls & the leader who'd asked me to come with them is a friend of mine so we got along great-so the girls had 2 very likeminded leaders in charge of all our activities...
The other camp of girls ( we had to do it on 2 sites due to the number of girls) wellll ... The other group seemed ummm not to be running a smoothly & the leader over there a few times came wandering over saying she wanted to go Home! ~lol
I don't know if it is that Susan & I have the same parenting style or that we're both bossy nurses but we had no problems & even when we got absolutely soaked our girls were happy seemed to have learned lots & had a good time :D
The only down fall of the whole thing is that the cold I've been fighting off finally Got me... I'm sick... coughing up yuck & have no voice... guess I've learned that actually sleeping is necessary for health! ~lol

Good luck with the new routine, I hope you like yours as much as I like mine. It nice to change things up.
Camping in the rain, doesn't sound like much fun, but glad you made the best out of it.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
Didn't know you were going to see a nutritionist- does it happen to be related to intestinal issues? We really should talk! I just had a rough weekend and I'm still trying to figure out the food patterns. Sometimes broccoli is okay, but maybe when the moon is full it causes problems? Or if I eat fried foods followed with an ice cream chaser, I'm okay, but if I combine french fries with an apple, that's where the trouble lies?
Does that EVER sound like a fun filled weekend!!!! Camping in a downpour and that extra little bonus of having a cold. Good times for sure; only thing that could have made it better would be TOM. Oh well, you can only hope for next time.
Cool....camping sounds fun. The rain...well, I hope you guys made the best of it! I'm interested in seeing how your new program works out for you! By the way...you are looking GORGEOUS!!

Sorry you're feeling under the weather. If I were a guide, I'd DEFINITELY want you as my leader. I'm sure you made it lots of fun.
GET WELL SOON!
xo, Rachel
camping in the rain! ugh! Glad you had a good time anyway - hope your foot feels better soooooon!
I'm a Girlguide leader. I LOVE camping in any weather.
I hate colds, though. Sorry to hear you're under the weather!
