Weightloss Wednesday
Re: Weightloss Wednesday
I lost 1.4 lbs in the past few weeks, even with TOM. I haven't touched the scale since, because I don't want to see the high number again. I know I need to.
Lost steam again with working out. I feel like I need to work out Sat-Tue to get my 4 times a week in, because I'm just exhausted by Wednesday. Seriously, last Friday I came home and slept from 6pm-9pm. Got up with H to sent him to work. Ate dinner at 10pm, back in bed 11pm - 9am. 13 hours of sleep - 13! This is not in my head and the doctor needs to call me with my RESULTS. I turned the sleep machine in last Monday and they said it'll take a week, but everything else should be in.
I am walking with a CW today and maybe tomorrow. Then gym Friday, walking around the inner harbor Sat, and Gym Sunday. Diet is ok. So many birthdays this month at work, but I've limited what I eat for the celebrations.
I am not doing that great. We haven't been to the gym in a while. DH said that he wants to go tonight which is fine with me. We haven't been eating too bad. I have cut my portions back, which I know can help things.
We also got Fitbit Flexs last week so if any one wants to be friends that has a fitbit, my email is cathyL0709 at gmail dot com.
Invite sent! Grr this is the first day I forgot my fitbit. So mad.
I'm happy to say that I've been doing really well. I've been eating healthy and I've only had one "bad" meal, which was last Saturday night at a Mother's Day/Birthday Party. I've also been sticking to the gym; went all last week except Friday, went Saturday and Sunday, rested on Monday, went yesterday and plan to go tonight and tomorrow. We are going to visit H's parents on the weekend, so I just hope we can stick to our diet because his mom likes to cook and doesn't always have the healthiest meals to prepare. We'll have to do some sort of at-home work out while we are there because it's a small town and the closest gym is about an hour away.
I'm having a hard time with feeling "good" amount myself. I see all these really in-shape beautiful women at the gym and it just kind of slaps me in the face. I know I have to keep working for it and I'll eventually get to where I want to be, but it just sucks right now.
I have been working out like a mad woman, and being very careful about food choices. Not perfect, but very few bad days. Maybe 5 in the past month and a half. I originally lost 4 pounds, had a bad weekend and "that time of the month" and gained 5. Seriously, one month to lose 4 and a weekend to gain 5?! So not fair! Anyway, I'm down 3 of those pounds, for a total of 2 lost since my goal of losing 15 started. I'm very frustrated, if I was slipping up more I'd understand that it was my fault. But, I'm not. Ugh!
I have a hard time with this as well. I was always tiny, but over the past two years it's been really hard for me to accept my weight, and how hard I have to work to keep it off now. I only bought a few "bigger" outfits, and now they are almost worn out. Hopefully both of us can find ways to feel good about ourselves!
I'm only 5' tall so every pound shows on me. I was always really tiny too until the tail end of my first marriage. After my divorce, I worked out and ate really well and lost the 20lbs I had gained. Then I met H and eating out, cuddling, and ice cream got the best of me. It's been a struggle trying to loose the 15 I've gained since meeting him.
I'm not too concerned with what the scale says; as long as I look good in my clothes (and naked
), I'll be happy. I refuse to buy any new clothes. I'm in my bigger clothes right now and I am not going to add to that part of my wardrobe.
H tries to make me feel sexy and beautiful, and most of the time it works. It really just hits me when I'm at the gym surrounded by fit people. I'm trying to make it my motivation instead of a downer. Hopefully once I start seeing some results, I'll feel better.
We just have to stick with it! The hard work will pay off soon enough and hopefully we'll feel like a million bucks!
My eating is still decent. I have my weak moments, but they are becoming less and less, especially at work. I lost another pound this week and I am down 4 pounds over the past 2 weeks, just from eating less and better choices.
I still can't drag myself to the gym but I am going to start walking now that it's nicer out. I walked about 4-4 1/2 miles today while on a walking trip with my class. I am beat from running after 21 kids, but it's a good tired. Hopefully tomorrow I'll drag myself off the couch to go walk after dinner.
Ystaalenburg and Seipel, I feel the same way when I go to the gym. I hate seeing the people who clearly work hard and look so good. I want to look like that too, but I hate the gym and don't put in the time.
My clothes are fitting better and hopefully my summer clothes will fit well also since most of them are in smaller sizes.
