Just a quick update….
I live in Ohio and it is just now starting to get cold and up until today I was not able to button my jacket. I usually just threw it on because the wind here has been cold but today without thinking I buttoned my coat and WAAAALAAAA I could button it! I started doing the happy dance and realized I was in the middle of the library. YEAH ME. May not be a big deal for you bit let me just say it made my day!
Just wanted to share!
Till Next Time…
So I decided I was going to start using a pedometer. It arrived today
It is set and ready to use. I am going to challenge myself every day to walk farther. I think this will keep me moving. That and I will see just how far it is from my car to my first class.
Look out shoes I am going to be putting you to the test!
Till Next Time…
Today I had to go to the doc and get my BP med refills. Went better than expected. My BP was great 104/74. The best it has been in 3 months. This being said the meds are working. I talked to her about this life change and how I wasn’t sure if it was the right thing or not being that I hadn’t lost any weight in 2 weeks. She asked me a very interesting question. She asked if I felt better. I told her yes. She said is it easier to work out…again my answer was yes…..she said where is the problem. Keep doing what you are doing and then you can adjust if you stop seeing results. So I will keep controlling my portions, eat more veggies, drink more water, and keep going to the gym. Not that I was going to stop I was just looking for another way to lose the weight.
SO tomorrow I will get up have some breakfast and then head to the gym.
Till Next Time….
On the 15th day of this life change the tape measure said to me….GOOD JOB PENNY! LOL
I really wasn’t sure this was going to be a good week being I didn’t lose any weight this week. I sat around moping a bit and then I realized…hey I hadn’t started my period. I’m sure the water gain there could cause some problems with the scale. I pushed thru 2 work outs and sweated a lot…I will be getting weighed Monday at the docs office so it will be an unofficial weigh in…lol I use the gym as my official. Just for consistency.
Here we go:
Part Last WK This WK CHANGE
Neck 14.5 14.5 -0
Chest 45 44.5 -0.75
Abs 47 45.25 -1.75
Hips 53 52.25 -.75
L Calf 24.75 23.5 -1.25
L Bic 15 15 -0
L Forearm 10 10 -0
TOTAL -4.75
Thats right 4.75 inches off of this body!
My roomate is doing this too and we started measuring her last week. She lost 3 inches this week.
I am looking forward to a good week this week. Hope you all do as well…
Till Next Time….
I am looking at the 1200 calories that I have been trying to stay under and I am wondering if my body is thinking I am starving it. For 2 weeks I have been under except for 1 day. I have lost no weight. I am a bit discouraged I wont lie but I am looking into eating more veggies and fruit and drinking more water. I am at least eating better which has to be better for me anyway. I am talking to the doctor on Monday about anything she may have to say but I know I am doing the right thing for me. I do feel better. I am loosing inches all though the scale says no weight lose. I just need to see it move. It is what we use to see progress, the scale that is.
My boss is doing weight watchers. I would possible do that if it didn’t cost so much. But it does help that there isn’t all the junk around work.
I am not discouraged although it does sound that way. I just needed to vent. I am in it to win it! This is my year and I am going to lose the weight and I am going to get healthy! I AM!
Till Next Time…
Well there is good news and bad news. As luck would also have it a story to go with it.
I had my normal morning classes and then headed to the gym for weigh in day. I did my normal routine….Put it on the last weigh in take a deep breath and let it out and step up. When I did I got a shock…It said I gained…not only did I gain but I gained 2 pounds. I stepped of and did it again. In disbelief I got on the treadmill and tread for my 40 minutes to figure out what in the H$&# I could have done to gain 2 pounds. I knew there had to be something wrong. SO I head back over to the scale and I do my routine again..this time looking down and realizing I still had my shoes on. Who knew my shoes weighed 2 pounds. I’m sure some of you did…lol I kicked them off and am happy to report that there was no gain of weight! That was enough to get my heart beating rapidly for sure.
No weight down but 3.5 inches off my body. I’ll call that a WIN!
TIll next time…..
I don’t weigh in till Wensday but I did do my measurements today. Looks like I lost 3.5 inches off my body this week. That to me is a WIN! It nice to see change. I know when you first start there is water weight and all that good stuff so I know that this is a big lose but I will take it.
School starts tomorrow and my blogging may change a bit being I will have to crack the books as well. I have packed snacks in my bag so I stay on track. I learned this week about skinny cow. If you don’t know what that is it a low cal snack and they taste fabulous. 120 calories and just enough to make my chocolate craving disappear. They even have ice cream.
have a great week!
Till Next Time……
