Well, I think it's been a while since I was here. I've gotten really into my program this week. I was re-motivated after seeing my friend on Saturday. She's lost 85lbs and has gone from a size 20 to a size 10! she looks HOT! I am so very proud of her for getting healthy and losing weight. I actually started crying I was so happy for her.
So I figured that if she could lose 5 sizes, then even with my health impedements, I could lose 2 sizes! I'm really getting into the exercising and I'm actually starting to get into the eating part of the program. But even tho I'm not following the eating part perfectly, I AM choosing much healthier things to eat. In fact, I just finished eating 2 grapefruits for a snack! I think now that I've got the exercising down pretty good (I will be moving up to higher weights for some moves
), I can start to focus more on the eating.
I did my measurements on Friday and I've lost a few inches in the past few weeks. One HUGE surprise was my hip measurement. No matter what I've been doing over the past couple years, the hip measurement NEVER changed. Every other measurement would change, but NOT the hips. Well, on Friday, the tape measure said one inch LESS. I had to measure 3 times to make sure! So I must be doing something right.
DH and I are thinking of entering the Mississauga Marathon (for those of you who don't know--Mississauga is just outside Toronto) to do the Half Marathon. I know I won't be able to jog all of it, but I am a pretty good walker and I think I can finish it in a half decent time. How's THAT for ambitious???
I weighed in at 168 this morning. I'm not sure, but I might have to change my sig line. I'm just happy to be staying in the 160's and not creeping back into the 170's.
TRIXI--I'm sorry to hear you are so sick. You have to take it easy and take care of yourself. Can you stay home for one day and just sleep? Take some nyquil or something to help put you out and just rest!
HEFTY--I think CAT should take lots of lugguge and put ALL of us in it!
CAT--have a good, safe trip!
HOCKEYCHIC--I've never heard of PACE. What did you think of it? Are you sore yet?
MeRoMo--We have to try to NOT let the scale run our life. Scale weight can fluctuate for a number of reasons. I can change the weight on my scale just by standing in a different place on it, or by leaning over more than usual. Are you taking measurements? sometimes that is much better. My weight has been hovering around 168/169 for a few weeks, BUT my hip measurement has decreased by a whole inch! I've lost 1/2-1 inch in other areas too.
DEWCAN and NORTHERN CLIPPER--WELCOME!
Ok, time for a couple of Brit-Coms before bed
Nighty Nite All!
