I finally got my calendar out to find out exactly how many days I've been doing this. It's hard to believe it's day 30! It's a little depressing that it's been that long and I have only lost 5 lbs. BUT, today I'm in a good mood and feeling optimistic...so I'm not going to let it bother me.
I made it to the gym today and I worked it! 30 minutes on the tredmill doing higher inclines every 5 minutes and when I would decrease incline, I increased speed. Then 45 minutes of lower body weights and abs. I really pushed myself on the weights today. It felt so good! I teach dance today with 2 of my favorite classes and we have volleyball tonight. I just can't mess up on my eating and today should really be perfect.
It's been interesting to see who actually has been reading this and the support I have gotten from unexpected people. I know there haven't been any comments from my husband on here, but I know he reads it. It's been a little disappointing to not have a lot of support from my family, but when my mom is in cambodia and my dad is getting ready to move there, I know they are busy. I give thanks everyday for the people in my life who really care about me and want to help me figure out what the heck is going on with my body!!!! THANKS!!!

Yea for 5 lbs! Yea for 30 days!! Seriously, yea for sticking to it! Just think, at this rate in another month you'll be down 10 lbs, then 15, then 20! You are tough at the gym. I'm good and dead with 30 minutes on the elliptical and have to really push on special occasions for 45 minutes. Must be my old age! I'm still down a good 1.5 lbs, still! Argh! Even after starving away my weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest of your day!

Here's the trick with eating...Think, "What weight do I want to be?" and times that by ten. That is how many calories a day you should eat. I want to be 130, so I try and eat 1300. It sounds like a lot, but that is the trick. Your body needs food to sustain, so don't starve yourself, unless you have already eaten your max. calories for the day.

5lbs. is so good and not to mention that fact that you also gained muscle so you will have actually lost more than 5lbs. of fat! You should take your measurements and body fat%. Remember it's not about what you weigh! My trainers wife when from being a size 6 at 111 pounds to a size 2 at 119 pounds, that's why it is so important to have your body fat percentage taken weekly, it really helps see your progress! So proud of you girl, wish I had your energy!
