Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. Real name's Karen, you can call me that or Okaybear. This is my first day on this NoS journey, and I'm excited as all get out.
I recently started as a personal trainer (NSCA-CPT), so I'm already a lover of exercise and fitness. However, I've found that I've slipped into a mentality that tells me: "Oh, you exercise like a demon, you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want!"
Except...I've gained a substantial amount of weight in the past couple of years. Now, no worries, I'm actually still in the "healthy" BMI range for my height, but I now accept that my habits are slowly pushing me in the direction of weight gain, and I'd like to nip that pattern in the bud.
My goals are small and simple - I would like to lose a small amount of weight (really, no more than 10-15 lbs), in a safe, sane way. I heard about the NoS Diet on a fitness site I've also recently joined (www.fitocracy.com), and I thought it sounded like such great common sense. Moderation I can live with? Yes, please!
I'm not a big sweet-eater anyway...salty snacks and second helpings are MUCH more my downfall...so these rules seem quite doable to me.
Thanks for reading the ramble. I look forward to working this NoS program!
