Thanks so much! I'll see if I can get a referral for a dietician appointment through my doctor.

Hello. i wanted to see if anyone might be able to help me with an issue I'm having. I decided to change my unhealthy habits. It's been a little over a month since I changed my diet. I am eating a paleo diet. I am also working out 6 days a week. This past week I'm just exhausted. I mean, nothing left in the tank, no energy exhausted. And I'm not losing any weight. A little history. I had done crossfit and paleo previously, with great success. Lost 35lbs. Unfortunately, the expense of crossfit and work got in the way. And a few years before that, I had lost over 100lbs eating low fat, low calorie diet and exercising like crazy. Which you can imagine ended up being disastrous. I got so sick I ended up in the emergency room. And I'm pretty sure it destroyed my metabolism. So I'm looking for some guidance. What am I doing wrong here? How can I get my energy levels up?? And start losing weight?

I'm all over the place! Currerntly I do HIIT classes twice a week, strength training twice a week, and 2 recovery works out. Recovery workouts vary from cycling, hiking, Zumba, or interval on the treadmill. If I'm not able to get to a class, I warm up on the treadmill and then go the the weight room and do a barbell workout with body weight exercises in between. sorry if this is too much info! But maybe it'll help you suggest where I'd fit in best!

Red, Thanks for the help and info! Much appreciated!

Hey! I have insomnia! I found this awesome podcast that puts me to sleep every time! Which is great, because melatonin did not work for me and I did not want to take prescription meds. It's called "Sleep with me". You can look it up on iTunes.

Hello Red! My goals are to start motivated and learn all I can about strength training and what works best for me, so I won't quit! Finding workout buddies and new adventures and workouts!! Destroying the Empire.
