I know it has been quite some time since I have written anything. Time seems to be slipping away from me. As soon as I think I can sit down and do this I get pulled somewhere. I finally decided to just do it. My weight loss has slowed a little bit. I haven't been logging my foods like I was. I am still watching what I eat and trying to stay clear from the junk but I really need to be writing it down. I have however been exercising a lot. Go figure. I go from one to the other. Why can't I do both of them together? Today I walked/ran 3.5 miles in 50 minutes. Not too bad considering I am pooped from not getting any sleep over the last few days. My next step is going to be getting an elliptical machine. When it starts to get cold I am sure I will use that as an excuse not to exercise. My knees are also starting to hurt from running. It feels so good to run but then my knees start crunching and cracking and I pay for it that night. Any ideas on what kind of brace I could use to help alleviate some of the stress on my knees? My right side is worse than my left. I do have an ACE brace but it doesn't seem to do much for me anymore.
Saturday I did my measurements. The areas I measure are arm, bust, waist, hips and thigh. Since August the 11th I have lost a total of 13 inches!! So, even though the scale has kinda stopped moving, the inches are coming off and THAT is what matters to me.
My total weight loss as of my last weigh in was 20.6 pounds. I did it. I broke the 20 lb mark! That is 4 bags of potatoes! Woo hoo! I definitely feel the difference. I noticed this morning how my calves are much more defined and hard lol. It took me by surprise when I was shaving my legs. :D Great feeling! My next goal mark is going to be 30 lbs. Hopefully I will be there in 4 weeks. That will also be my next picture posting. Oh joy. The lipo/Bcomplex shots are reimbursable so I will be getting one a week now. I really hope that they speed the process up a little. I am happy with 1-2 pounds a week but that occasional 3 pound or more loss is really a motivational boost!
Thanks for listening to my rant. I am shocked that I got it all out quite condensed!
Follow me on my journey to losing 100 pounds by August 1, 2011 for my trip to Jamaica!!!
Great job getting to (and past!) that fourth bag of potatoes! I've been having a tough time lately but your post has really re-motivated me - thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks pamela! I go for my weigh in today. I am nervous...afraid that I have actually GAINED! This would be a first. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying that I at least stay even. It is "that time" so if I did hopefully it will show up as excess water. Keep going! You can do it!!
