Well, as promised, here’s the update on my first meeting with Christine Lacy, the “resident” dietician at Styles Group Fitness Network.
Love her! Turned out it was very fortuitous that Whit had mentioned having a dietician, but had not found one that was the perfect fit, since Christine was right under her nose, having just started working out at SGFN!
Our initial consultation was really a good foundation for things like goals and background, to give her an idea of what I want to do- though strangely it really did help me narrow down my goals as well.
I do definitely want to lose weight, but at 41, it also occurs to me that I don’t want to be on blood pressure medication if I can avoid it, and I know I can avoid it.
While I feel like I definitely know more than the average person when it comes to food and nutrition, I can absolutely say that I need help getting where I want to be.
In the last 6 months, I’ve “deleted” from my diet: fried foods, red meat, and pork. For the most part, this is all good. I know, though, that I’m probably missing some things nutritionally in regards to protein, iron, etc. Otherwise, I know that there are some other things that I can do, and I’m excited to see how Christine can help me reach my goals!
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, I’m NOT going to tell my body fat percentage, but I WILL keep you updated on my progress!
