Back to the point where I spot-eat, and don't eat "enough". Too many temptations in the house w/ 4 kids and a husband. I'm doing fairly well considering. Stats today... I lost 1/2 a pound. Mildly dissappointing, but where I saw no difference in measurements last week, I had difficulty measuring my waist. My waist seemed to have "moved". Where I had overlapping skin, and blatant hugeness... it kind of tightened up, and shifted around. Henceforth, the entire measurement had to move. Not sure if this is improvement, or just muscle definition. I take it as a good thing seeing as there is an inch difference. The rest of my stats for the most part seem to have improved by about a quarter inch. Not much, but still progress, and I'll take all I can get.
Ok, diet has gotten much better. Took a few days to get it straightened out though. Haven't done the math lately, but looks to be MUCH lower than the first few days. On a high note, did my stats on Sunday, and yes... only one week, I didn't expect miracles, but I lost THREE pounds!! My thighs evened up, and I dropped three pounds. Not much... when Im used to seeing much lower numbers... but hey, ya gotta start somewhere?! Not to mention that my resolution is proving to be coming true. I promised to do my w/outs EVERY time, and to TRY to lose 2 lbs a week. At that rate, would be early summer when I meet my first goal of breaking into the 150's. My goal date is May 22nd. I have this planned out. I should break 180 on Feb. 13, 170 on March 20, 160 on April 24, and finally 160 on May 22. Seeing as I started at 190.5... I hope to NEVER EVER EVER see that number again. and each of the subsequent numbers after them :)
Today I didn't get my w/outs done until 7pm! Yes, crazy late, but was a crazy day... been horridly exhausted, and not sure why, so was too wiped to do them during the 8am - 11am timeframe I had. The fact is though it's done! I kept my word, and I did them both. Heck, had to restart PE after getting 1/2 way through it once. Missed my daughter's appt at 4:10, so had to reschedule it for my second day of school, and will miss school for it. Trying to get her a new therapist cuz I hate the lady she had.
This morning was rough. I was wiped after MMG!! Omg how embarrasing. I finished PE, but it was a struggle, and I was gimpin it with Tanya for sure. Whether it was getting back to a steady work-out after so long, or whether it was how frustrated with myself I was for yesterday. I had a hard time only eating what I should yesterday, but I did track it all. Just finishing the math, it is only 1682. Where that is not exactly what Id prefer it to be *preferred @ 13-1400 range* it is acceptable for my first day. Although the cookies and popcorn gotta GO!
About a week ago, my six year old was running around my living room playing, and he was hanging over my shoulder as I was parked at my computer, yet again. I guess being a bit bored he proceeded to wiggle my upper arms. He then looked at me and goes, "When you get old you get 'wiggly' arms!" Seeing as I am only 35 years old, this was highly unlikely, but I did not want to have to admit the real reason. This was a novelty that proceeded to round my living room, as my six year old son tried to wrap his little mind around why my arms were so wiggly. Using his, his brothers, his sisters, and every other arm within reach, he tested his theory. Yep! Age had to be the reason! Joking with his sister, and proclaiming my 'old-ness' even to his father. I think it was the hardest thing ever for me to swallow, when I looked at my son, and matter-of-factly said, "No. Mommy has wiggly arms because she is fat."
I decided there that I was going to get back on my work-outs, no matter HOW busy my schedule. 5am?! Yep if I had to. Today is Sunday, January 2, 2011. I officially start today. I would have on the first, but that fell on a Saturday, and that is my natural day off. My Official New Year's Resolution for myself. To do my work-outs EVERY day (except days off), and to *Try* to lose 2lbs a week. This is not unreasonable. I have done this before. If I keep to my schedule, I will do much more than that.
