Plateau

Sigh - disappointing to still be at 197 lbs.

Worked out today - 20 min interval training on the treadmill, 20 min with Suzana (60 squats with 40 lb wt added on, 4 laps around gym, 50 Jumping Jacks)


Have I mentioned I hate Jacks? They suck so bad. sooo very badly.

I am planning to get a better sports bra. I need to support.

Monday Monday

Long day at work.

Did the fitness ride this morning followed by my session with the trainer.

I am 197!!!!

YAY!

So happy with that!

Just gotta keep on keeping on!

One-der Land!!!!

I am now officially less than 200 lbs! I was 199 lbs on Monday morning after the fitness ride!! I was so pleased. I just cannot tell you how pleased I am about this. It's been a lot of hard work. I have been working out 3 times a week. Generally - one to two fitness rides per week and then on my own one day a week.

This week.

Monday - fitness ride and then workout with trainer in the morning.

Today - core and tone 45 min - and then 10 min cardio each on the elliptical, bike and then treadmill, with a 3 min cool down after each. so took me about another 45 min. I did weigh myself after this workout and it was 198.12!!! And on my period too! I am hoping I diurese a lot this weekend and go down again before Monday!

On the food front, there have been some temptations with cravings and indulgence (I did go buy chips and dip on Sunday because I wanted pizza and trusted myself less with that) I did eat of the chips and dip 3 times, but did not finish it (I threw it away this morning when I was done with it) Now that the period has actually started, I don't really feel those cravings at all - for now - I know they will be back. I plan to work on that same strategy, eat a little of the desired item, put the rest away and then move on with my life.

Working off the pounds

I went to spinning class on Wednesday and had such a good time - sat there thinking, man I don't like this, but it;s working off all that rich food I overate! I did however almost get sick, because it was 6:30 pm and I did not eat a snack before that. I will never do that again. If I go to the later one, I will have to have a snack. I almost threw up from working out so hard on an empty stomach.


I worked out on Mon (10 min cardio, elliptical, 30 min with Suzanna), Wed (10 min elliptical, 60 min spinning), Friday (10 min elliptical, 10 min treadmill, 10 min bike) and Sat (20 min elliptical, 5 min bike). I weighed myself Sat after the workout and I was 202 - I am hoping this is where I will be on Monday with Suzanna. I only count my weight then as an official weigh in, because I usually do the workout sessions at a similar time.

Whew 75 jacks tonight - will probably do another 25-50 while working on dominos with Rosie.
