For those of you who follow The Biggest Loser know what this is. For those of you who don’t… on week 1 the contestants always lose amazing amounts of weight then come week 2 they don’t lose anything. They put up very small numbers if any, even though they worked out just as hard if not harder than the first week.
I weighed in this morning at 212, I am frustrated because I know I worked out harder and watched what I ate, and I realize I am training my body for change, but it is still hard. And I don’t want to hear that muscle weighs more then fat, I feel that I worked hard enough that I should have lost more fat then gained muscle.
I made the mistake of weighing in yesterday too… and yesterday I was at 213, I should really know better but I couldn’t help it, then when we went to water aerobics last night the instructor was sick, so they let us use the pool for free for 45 minutes, but we were on our own. So I didn’t get the workout I would have liked; especially knowing today would be my weigh in day and that would make last night my “last chance workout”. So I came home and hit the treadmill for a mile and did 100 steps on my climber.
I am trying to stay positive and think about the end result… I may have lost this weeks battle but I’m going to win the war!

Just keep at it, you'll see results. Your awsome Dee!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great...it is not what the scale says it is how you feel. When you exercise and watch what you eat YOU FEEL BETTER. This is a life change not a diet. keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteThis is Leslie. Girl, you need to put that scale up high in your closet. If I weigh too often I get frustrated and that usually leads to sabotaging myself and eating out of frustration. Or, on the flip side, if I see results right away I feel like I can cheat and celebrate with food. Isn't food a terrible best friend. I don't use the scale as much as I use a measuring tape. For some reason I can weight 20lbs more than other girls, but be in the same pant size. By the way... my weight one week after having the baby went from 237 to 219. I know it will continue to go down, but not much more. So that is my new starting point. It takes awhile for my stomach to go down to even try my old clothes on. I am done having kids at this point. Once I reach my goal (170's), I am getting a tummy tuck. I am done carring around all this hangy skin that will NEVER go away. That will be my ultimate reward! I was never little, so that would be a good goal for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm very, very proud of you for wanting to make lifestyle changes to increase your outlook on life. Living with me does not make this easy and I am in awe of your determination. If I can help in anyway I WILL BE THERE to help. You've always been a beautiful person to me and everybody else that ever meets you and I am excited to see you feeling comfortable in everything that you or we do together. Always have, Always will. Love Your Husband
