Ok..i started a new gym and I love it.. i am lifting weights in Pump class and getting cardio in Attack and zumba i take about 7-9 class a week and i will be adding rpm/cycling classes in at some point...So this is whats going on....i have only been with this club 2 weeks and in 2 weeks i have gained another 5 pounds... i will be damaned if i make my tracker say 170 that is a 10 lb gain since i have been back from tampa...i have not changed my eating habits.. i am on track with all my water food and exercise....here is TMI... My monthly friend was a week late (have no idea why) and we have had high heat and humidty here in NC... so i have no idea what is going on.. my clothes still fit (and the shouldnt at this weight) i dont look like i have gained 10 pounds... so i am wondering if my body is in shock because it actually had to start working out hard again instead of the other lazy gym that i really didnt... and i couldnt tell if this happen when i was in tampa lol because my father didnt have a scale lol...sigh... just frustrated at the fact that the scale is going up even though i am working harder lol.. i am hoping maybe my body is in shock and changing fat to muscle lol... in a couple of weeks i will post pictures .. my arms and legs are startign to define and getting stronger everyday!!! i am planking and doing pushups with the best of them.. lifting 30 to 35 lbs for squats and clean and press and 20 to 25 for chest presses.... 15 lbs for triceps and biceps.. and 15 to 20 for lunges...so i have increased my weights since i started also... i go back and forth on the numbers depending if i am having a strong day or a omg my muscles cant do the high one day lol.....so any thoughts or i am ok keep on going lol ( iwill keep on going anyways but lol i feel like i am crazy) lol oh i am crazy nevermind lol!!

Keep going! If you can do it without hurting yourself, keep going! Build those muscles! Also, it could be water weight, from not only TOM but from the heat, sometimes that happens to me... I just bloat. Feels like my body is saying "Man, it's hot! I better hold onto all this water so I don't dry out." Don't let it get you down. You know you are doing everything you are supposed to. Something will give soon! You are doing

Sounds like you are building more muscle!!! But what do I know about that??? Better "cum on a my house" and do water aerobics in this hot weather!

well we headed out to Asheville NC once again to fiish up some hikes and waterfalls we wanted to do... i can say that we finished them like champs :)
we started at crabtreefalls friday
2 miles was rated as strenous.. i would have rated it as moderate (lol what does that mean ? LOL)
here are some pics of the trail and the falls
whats a hike with out several steep stairs lol
and bugs lol
and butterflies
and snails!
and a fairy fall
then we left there and checked in to our hotel room
and had dinner at
the next day we did mount mitchell to mount craig and the to the top of mount mitchell.. but as you will see the clouds were creeping in.. but we had a really good challenging hike.. i scaled rocks like a champ :)
now this next part my husband was obviously proud that i climb this like a champ last year i would have had trouble with this trail
he was proud :)
OOOOoooh Mud I love mud LOL!!
almost there
totally worth it.. now have to get back lol...crap lol
I think he was as inmpressed as i was :)
the F-in stairs and then we are there LOL thank the goddess!!

then we saw there lame little museum lol i wont bore you with those pictures and then remember the hike i did back in October the one that i have the picture up for my wallpaper.. we went back and did that....
Half way thru the trail my husband stops and said in ocober at about this pnt you were having troublelifting your legs up over the rocks and you were breathing hard.. he says look at you now walking up them like a champ and not breathing hard.... like this is the jaunt itis suppose to be.. and high fived me :) that felt good here are few pictures of that hike

Its Captain time!
Then we ate here for dinner (remember this was a special weekend this is not how i usually eat lol)

Longhorn's steakhouse, and Olive Garden rock! Also peanut M&M's are something I love. In a Blizzard they are heaven. Glad you saw immense improvement on your hikes. I always try to gauge improvements other than weight. I don't measure myself, so it is usally physical in nature, like not being winded after climbing stairs, or walking to the store. If we keep improving day after day, we will be almost perfect by the time we die of old age..lol. Such a waste. At least there will be M&M Blizzards every day with no weight gain in heaven. Till then though, we can make our lives better every day. I love your trips. I went to Cleveland Zoo last year, but this year feeling so good, that next year I will probably feel comfortable enought to go somewhere offroad when I plan my next vacation. Nothing better than being in nature. Zoos seem to be overhyped, so they are a dissapointment. It is soooooo flat here in Michigan. The pics remind me of the Adirondacks in New York, slightly smaller, but nice green wooded mountains. One of my favorite books is A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, about walking the entire Appalachian Trail. Your stories have pictures though..lol Report Inappropriate Comment |
