Who KNEW

So I've been doing this body bug thing now for I think four weeks ...Im down 11lbs from when I started to lose on my own which was a few weeks before I started seeing Catherine. She's pretty awesome....so I've learned alot in the four weeks,
1> there has to be a blance between the cals going in and out....in the past I would just cut the cals and up the exercise.... well for me, because I burn so many cals in a day just at work when i include my exercise program im not eating enough.... my ratio has been burning on average 3000 - 4000 cals in a day to like 1200 cals. My struggle every day is eating enough...I think a few friends and family think this is a bunch of BS but the 2 weeks I lost the most weight have been the 2 weeks that I have been diligent about eating enough cals....and let me tell you, I didnt think I would ever say this...Its hard to eat the amount of food your surpose to eat in a day. I'm just not hungry at all. I can scoff down a bag of m&ms no probblem but put a full meal in front of me and yuck.....
2>Sleep is key...also hard for me, I'm not a sleeper. Retraining my body to sleep has been a challange. I hate to sleep, it's so damn boring....now I guess I could increase my b12, for me that increases my dream state and I have awesome dreams....down side, they are so vivid that I wake up exhausted....any who making my body fall asleep is just not natural for me...Im a night person
3>The hostess cup cake has no nutrional value..... yeah ok I knew that already, but it has flour and eggs in it im sure.....Giving up the cup cake = :( So someone said to me, buy the 100 packs of them and I looked at them and said F that if im going to eat a cupcake its going to be a cupcake not a little crumb.....
4>logging your food everyday really is the best tool when trying to get healthy. You have to know what your putting in your body and yeah I can rant about tons of useless information and random thoughts all day on the net but to sit in log in my food....OY but I'm doing it and it's working.

So yeah.......................................................

Oh I've developed this nice little case of vertigo in the past month.....not sure how it relates to all this but pretty much its there to tell me my body's not reacting to something very well....every time I lay my head down it's kind of like being at the top of the hill on a roller coaster and your about to enter the cork screw....Lots of fun! thank god I don't get motion sickness....Id be puking 24-7

OK that's my rant....I'm suppose to be logging my feeling going through this process so...this is where I am today.

Next week I start some personal training with Catherine in trade for a massage....it's works out for me because I need to get some practice time in....

Off to try and take a little snooze before work...Jenn and I did a 4.5 mile walk last night at 11pm. Neither one of us felt very well so that was a stupid move on our parts.....
