212.8 is the new fat

Thursday, July 26, 2007

See that pic? That was Christmas of 2006. Just a mere, what? 7 months ago. 7 MONTHS! I think I was about 234 or 235 there. OMG.

So, while I still feel fat, and technically, I still am, I am so much NOT fatter than I was, just 7 months ago.

Man...looking at old pictures, while incredibly painful, really helps keep your weight loss in perspective.

I am going back to Mexico this Christmas, and I cannot wait for my husband's family to see me. They are going to be so happy and surprised! So much to look forward to....

Monday morning weigh in time

Monday, July 23, 2007

Pretty sad that the most exciting part of my day has become my morning weigh in! But, seriously, I cannot wait every morning to see what that scale tells me about the hard work I have been doing.

I want it, I will it to be under 214 this morning. Even if it is 213.8, I will take it. I hiked 75 minutes yesterday and I did 4 strength training exercises on top of that last night.

I realize that the more strength exercises I do, the weirder the weight will be reflected since muscle weighs more than fat. But, the upside is that muscle burns fat faster then, well, F-A-T.

So, here we go, off to do my morning highlight. Will my goal be met? I will post again once I have my weight!

  

Yes!

You can be an inspiration or a statistic, which will you choose to be?

The last two months, even though I was pretty good about sticking to my diet, I wasn't exercising. I was an inspiration to no one. I was whining and complaining about not losing, rather just maintaining, and well, duh.

So, a couple weeks ago, I decided to take the bull by the horns and get off my ass. We went on a five mile hike (2.5 up and 2.5 down) and it felt great. Last night, I went back to Hydrofit and dropped almost 2 pounds! Yes!

Why is it that even though you KNOW what the right combo is for you, laziness takes over and wins sometimes?

Just so frustrated with everything right now! ARGH!

  

No change in 5 days?

Friday, April 13, 2007

Whatever. I haven't exercised in as many days either, so, I guess I cannot complain. At least I haven't gone up. My energy level seems to be spent at the moment and I don't know if it is something going on with me, or, a direct result of not moving my trasero. HMPH.

I guess my goal for today will need to be EXERCISE NO MATTER WHAT. I don't care what it takes, I will drink 5 cups of coffee if that is what it takes to wake this body up!!!
