Low carb, high protein, low sugar, low cal...Healthy eating frustrations

Bear with me as I just spill my thoughts in this post. I am frustrated and annoyed.

Why you ask? 

I've stopped losing weight. My first 55 pounds I lost was a combination of exercise and calorie counting. That was it. I didn't have to count my protein. I did keep my sugar in a normal range but I didn't have to agonize of why I lost weight. It just came off.

Enter in about six months ago. I just stopped losing weight. I am still building a little muscle but the scale isn't moving and it is frustrating. I've done high protein, low carb. That kept me full and I enjoy the high protein however, I didn't lose weight. I went back to what I did post-college and did calorie counting. It didn't work. I weigh and measure my food. Still, nothing. 

I refuse to take supplements, aka fat burners, since I want to keep it off. Plus I want to lose it healthy and not gain it all back after going off it. 

I really don't know what to do next. I am doing some more research and reaching out to some fitness gurus/friends who do this every day. Something has got to give. 

Sigh...one day I will start losing again. I just want to be healthy. I am eating well and hoping something will click again soon.

For now, I will keep doing what I am doing.

I don't want to be thin. I just want to be healthy.

Irritated

While I will not go into all the details, I have to say that I am frustrated with public AND private schools today. Between teachers not stopping students from pestering other students to argumentative students being brushed aside, I am just irritated. Today was a Monday of all trades and I am surprised, not shocked, as to how some students *think* they can act. I was always taught to respect my elders and wonder what students are learning, today, at home.

Dear stupid boy at library

It is NOT appropriate to say that I look retarded when I am ignoring you. NO stinkin offense bud...but unlike you, I have homework that cannot be ignored. Oh and I do NOT appreciate being told that by ignoring you...I look retarded! So wrong on so many levels!

Oh and by the way...I can't stand people being called by the R word...so bud, you just ticked off the wrong person!

I have a problem with people calling each other by the R word. It is just wrong. PERIOD!

Back to square one

Thank you for your prayers this morning. I really do appreciate them. My doctor's appointment did not go as well as planned and kind of made me upset. The doctor did not necessarily do anything wrong yet he did upset me. Make sense? I was basically told that he could not recommend anything new for me. Well wonderful Doc!

So now I am back to square one. I will be seeking a second opinion eventually but right now I have to focus on school. Right now, I am prone to multiple infections and would love to figure out why and how to prevent or have less infections. No one can explain this to me therefore, when I go home for the holidays (Christmas), I will attempt to look into doctors and research more in depth.

The doctors have never given me a real exact answer and all I want to do is know how to prevent infections. You would think this would be easy...but I drew the lucky straw and someone has to piece together my puzzle.

I know, eventually, someone will figure out what is up. But for now, all I can do is pray and research!

Your continued prayers are appreciated!

Continuation of my last post

If you have not read my previous post...scroll down first.

Tonight I went into Subway again to get dinner and I mentioned to my "favorite person" about last night's events. She said she saw me leave and thought it was a little early. Anywho...then she saw why I left and told me that she has a rule: there is an age where children should not have children and she is so right.

Then we get to talking and apparently one of the guys who works there was one of the baby daddies. THEN I found out he is 20, unmarried, the father of THREE kiddos, dating one of the mothers who was there last night, and works at Subway. Fabulous!

So YES it is unfortunate that these sweet babies have this kind of life, but there is little I can do.

Broken and Shattered

As you may already figured out, my email was hacked into Wednesday and has totally shattered my week. I am ANGRY and UPSET that someone would invade my personal email and do such a thing. The new problem is that they changed my security passwords so I can not even get into my email to get my contact list and shut it down. I am ANGRY that someone would do this. Plus the emails that some have been receiving are just plain strange and exp li cit(there are spaces so this does not show up as a search). I am ANGRY that people can see everything that is on my email. I had bank information, school information, pictures, documents, and most importantly...all of your email addresses on it.

SO if you would be so kind to click on the e-mail button on my complete profile page and e-mail me your e-mails...I would be very appreciative.

I have talked to several IT guys now and have come up with a few tips help you if this were to ever happen. I hope this never ever happens to you!

** Save your email addresses on your personal computer as well. Plus...a hard copy of them (say from a printout) is always helpful. I did not have a hard copy therefore I have to get them all again.

** If your email does get taken over, contact the company that is associated to your email immediately. You see...the hackers changed my security passwords as well so I still am trying to get this all sorted out.

** Put all of your troubles in writing. This covers the bases just in case.

** Change your passwords often. Sure it is convenient to be "remembered" on your computer, but changing them often helps cover you in case someone gets your password.

** If there was/is valuable information on your computer (say from the bank) and email gets hacked, contact the bank immediately and change those passwords as well.

** Expect phone calls. On Wednesday alone, I received 30+ phones calls and Thursday was the same. My poor parents have also received numerous calls as well.

One thing to remember is that if you are signed up to receive anything by an email, you will have to go back and put your new email in. SO for twitter, facebook, and all the sites that you get updates/ads/emails from...ALL of those have to be updated. I have to tell you in is a MAJOR pain and is just darn right frustrating!!!

Please excuse the lack of posts this week/weekend as I am still trying to work on damage control and coming to face the fact that this happened. For this reason, I have not wanted to turn on my computer that much. I feel violated and frustrated that someone so mean was able to turn my entire life upside down in a matter of moments. I am angry and frustrated and it will take me time to get back into the swing of things. So please bare with me if I do not post as much right now. I will eventually be back in the swing of things soon. Thank you for understanding!

Note to self...and anyone who will read it :)

REMEMBER Not to get upset or frustrated before bed. If you do, you could have a side effect of insomnia! Please try to not get frustrated/upset at least an hour before bed, since you are now facing the consequences!!! [of the wireless Internet troubles]

So to recap, try to relax and get some sleep during the night! DO NOT GET mad/frustrated an hour before bed!

Now this is a new rule in my life :)
