I'm still hanging out in at 216.8, but TOM came. I don't know what TOM does to my weight because I generally don't pay attention.
I've already walked 26 minutes today (17 and 9) and I have another walk scheduled for this afternoon. (A coworker and I walk laps of our building)
I'd told another coworker (an in-shape woman who teaches a kickboxing class) about my aborted attempt with the 30 Day Shred and she brought in two Denise Austin DVDs for me to try that are a little less intense for a beginner.
I've also got my new rebounder set up--and it's in the rec room near the TV and not in the exercise equipment storage room, where the TV isn't hooked up to UVerse.
I really want to be down to 210 by March 21. That's around 7 lbs in 4 weeks. Do-able.
I keep forgetting to come to this thread, I spent so much time on the 220s-230s lol.
Hi Beth! 210 by then is totally doable!! Our bodies are such mysteries though, I weigh in every day just to get myself all worked up for the day (lol) but I only count the scale at my doctor's office on Monday. So I have no idea why I weigh at home, I'm just obsessed!
I'm trying as hard as I can to get close to one-derland by April 1st but I am not going to set myself up for disappointment. Just going to try to keep plugging along and see where I get. But I am obsessed with the numbers and time! I whip out my phone to look at the calendar and calculator all the time. I think being this close to my first goal (to get to 199) all of a sudden woke me up! I'm excited, nervous, just a bundle of emotions!
I did an hour on my treadmill today, just felt like I could walk forever. Love days like that!
My week is going pretty well, for now. I have been really good at eating on plan and I was able to push myself a little extra-hard and do almost 90 minutes of cardio yesterday instead of my planned 70!
I know I shouldn't worry about it too much but I had been attempting to weight daily to track things, but then I just get frustrated that my weight's been the same for several days (210.5, go away 1!) and it's not even close to TOM.
Even better, I say the week is going well for now because I know the next few days will be extremely challenging for staying on plan. My boyfriend and I are long-distance right now and he's arriving this afternoon for a week-long visit.
I probably won't have any time to go workout, and I know that we'll be eating out several times. Here's hoping I can find some willpower to at least maintain this next week and not backslide!
I'll join here... I've been bouncing between 208 and 209 for days and I'm starting to get irritated. I'm running a 5K at the end of April. I run so much better with less weight, hoping to be under 200 on race day
205.6 today . Second day of TOM. I usually gain a few days before and lose on day 2 and 3 of TOM. Hoping it keeps going south for a few more days before it goes back up. My body really has a set system. It will get bloated for 4-9 days then woosh away weight for 2-3 days then back to bloated again. Its almost as predictable as my period.
I tried my rebounder last night--it's too much for my knees right now, but my knees are steadily getting better so there's hope. Instead, I did a warmup/low impact/cool down for a Biggest Loser DVD, and a coworker lent me two Denise Austin ones she thought would be good for a beginner, so I'm going to do a routine from that tonight. I like that they're broken into 10 and 20 minute segments so I can do something short. I walk 40 minutes during the day M-F, so I really can't do an hour at night as well.
I also took my measurements last night, and I'm down in my waist, paunch, and band size. I don't believe my bust measurement--I was wearing a very effective sports bra--I don't think I've really lost 3 inches there or none of my bras would fit! I'll have to take that one tonight when I'm not squished.
I'm more than ready to see 215, but 5 days at 216.x means that I'm really definitely there--it's not a fluke.
Isn't it funny how we can be so glad to see a number (like 216) when we first see it, and then all we want to do is get rid of it?
Ugh, I feel like ever since I popped under 220/started February, my weight loss has just moved at glacier speed. So I pulled up the last several few weeks:
-3.7 (Dec 10, 2012)
-2.0 (etc)
-3.8
-2.0
-4.1
-2.9
-4.7
-2.3
-0.3 (Feb 04, 2013)
-0.8 (Feb 11, 2013
-1.0 (as of today, for this week)
WHAT THE H3LL?! Seriously. W T H. At least I dont feel totally crazy. But I do feel a little cranky about this. The ONLY thing I can think of, is maybe the new birth control pill Im on? Anyone have anything like this happen?
Now it's a game--how many days can I stay at 216? Today was 216.2 (lowest yet) Maybe tomorrow it'll be 215--or more likely 216.0 (can't miss any of the 216.x values!) I'm enjoying the 2-1-x part so much I'm not too freaked about it staying at 2-1-6, if that makes sense.
My regular Mon-Fri walks aren't happening today--work is closed because of the ice storm. I'll have to do an exercise DVD tonight.
It's pleasant being home today, but hard to concentrate on my work laptop, where my mind belongs!
This summer should be the best one ever for me I'm looking forward to it and it drives me to lose faster!
