Personal Training NYC ClientE

Well I haven’t posted anything at all in 2007!  Can we say lazy!  A lot as been going on for me on both a personal and fitness level.   

I have been training with Terri for a year now and it has just been a constant struggle for me to even lose 5 lbs.  I can admit I would fall off here and there but for the most part I tried to eat healthy and worked out atleast 4 times a week if not more.  I just figured there has to be a balance somewhere and I just always felt bloated all the time.  I got fed up a couple of months ago and decided that I was going to get my blood work done just to make sure everything was ok.  I wound up finding  out that my free testosterone levels were too high for a woman and that could be causing me to hold onto my weight and not drop it as easily as others.  Of course, the only advice my doctor could give me was diet, exercise and birth control.  I was thinking “oh great, that helped”.  I didn’t want to go on birth control because as far as I was concerned it made you gain weight.  The doctor said that my ovaries were pumping too much of this free testosterone out and my body wasn’t getting rid of it.  So, I gave in and started the new birth control called Yaz about 2 months ago.  And crazy as it may sound I lost 81/2 lbs since then!  I haven’t changed anything.  I try to eat healthy and do my workout routine regularly.  I wish I would have known this a year ago when I started working with Terri because it is depressing to feel yourself get stronger and work your ass off but in the end you stay the same.  I have to laugh that birth control turned out to be my answer to losing weight.  I am so happy I figured this out and I hope I am on my way now to reaching my goals within the next couple of months.
