Leeda: Running in a Fat Suit

Let’s see…I did 30 minutes of Y!F, focusing on the core area. I need to do this more. My arms are getting pretty defined and strong, but my core muscles suck because I just don’t put enough time into them. Maybe it’s because I’m lazy and know that those muscles won’t really show up until I lose all the fat around them , and that’s where the majority of my fat is. Anyway, my abs are aching now, so I just have to continue to work it into my routine. I also did a 35 minute walk with baby at the track this afternoon. I feel pretty good. I’m going to try and gulp down the rest of my water tonight. I am sure I will be waking up a lot tonight to tinkle. Thanks for reading.

Yes, I’m talking about the Harry Potter movie, it was awesome. I want to see it again, but I know that won’t happen until after it comes out on DVD since old DH practically had a nervous breakdown after watching the baby for about 3 hours yesterday. Try 24/7 buddy!

I awoke this morning to the scale telling me I weighed 200. I blinked, got off, and back on…200. Got off, got back on, scratched my nose during the reading and 203. Thought “hate my scale” and got back on standing perfectly still and got 200.  So I guess I weigh 200, which means a loss of 1 pound, which means a total loss of 25 lbs. 40 more to go and one pound until I get to Onderland. Assuming of course that my new scale (2 more days!!!) reads the same thing or less.

I always hear that only 5 percent of people who lose weight on a diet keep it off. It makes the whole weight loss struggle seem pretty hopeless. I went looking in search of answers and found this:

Diet Myth

It pretty much says how that 5 percent statistic is based off a study of 100 people that they did in 1959. ONE study MANY years ago.  The following site has, along with how characteristics of your daily life affect maintaining weight, also a survey of 1300 people that gave a better (and more hopeful) percentage of people who did keep the weight off.
