Defeat

It's been rough the last 24 hours or so. I had sloppy joes at work yesterday, so I decided to take my dog on a jog. I thought I could burn  the calories off by doing that.

But before work, I got my first email from the local health coach here in Vegas. She stated that the reason that she can't respond within in a timely manner is because she has three kids, and just found out she is pregnant with a fourth. I felt defeated. I can't. I don't. I won't.  Associate with pregnant girls, family, professionally, or whatever. It is to protect my own emotional health.  Also, I want someone that will get back to me in a timely manner. It took this lady over a week to get to me. I don't find that humorous.

I haven't decided what I am going to do. I can keep the one in Oregon, transfer to the one here, or request a different one all together. I am thinking that a gay guy will be best.

I also thought about responding to her email, and tell her what my expectations of her are. Namely, no pregnancy talk. She is getting paid to help me, not tell me about her ailing pregnancy symptoms.

I woke up starving again, so I had some MediFast waffles. They burned pretty quickly but they weren't bad.

For a morning snack I had parmesan chees puffs. My disclaimer: I HATE parmesan cheese, but I ate them, but my dog was much more interested in them than I was. I think Dean and I are going to make a switch. I will give him my parmesan cheese balls, and take his pretzels!

For a snack at noon I had pizza bites. They were pretty tasty, and really filling! I felt stuffed half way through the bag.  The funny story about this is I was eating mine, and the institute director came and asked if I wanted some of his. He was eating the same thing I was, but his was BBQ flavored!  I didn't know he was doing the diet too, but I noticed he has been loosing weight this week. He has lost 10 pounds since starting a week ago!  Second funny part of this story is that I was sitting with two friends from Econ when the teacher commented about my bag of food. They then went to the snack counter trying to find the same thing that we had! Of course, there was none there for them.

For an afternoon snack I had vegetable sloppy joes. Not too bad. Again, could use some pepper. I am not sure if you are allowed to use seasonings or not. I am sure adding salt is out of the question.

As I am sitting here at the institute typing this, a couple of the teachers are talking about it. They are saying that this diet plan is contagious cause everyone is doing it! And every one is loosing weight!

 I just wish I knew what to do in regards to my situation about the pregnant girl.

  1. Don't feel bad for requesting someone else. The fact that she didn't get back to you for a week is enough reason to go elsewhere. Loosing weight and eating healthy is a difficult journey at times and you need someone there that is more accessible than that. Can I ask you what exactly a mentor is supposed to help you with? Could you instead enlist a few friends that you can check in with on your progress or struggles or that will check in with you? Dyanna was really awesome at checking in with me when I did the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge for 30 days.
