HolyohmygodisthatweightforrealIcan'tbelieveit!
Actually, I do believe it. I worked hard this week. Like, I kicked my butt. I had some form of exercise 6 out of the past 7 days. Be it working out an hour at the gym on the stationary bike, spinning bike, elliptical, stairmaster or the new love of my life, the rowing machine or walking the two and a half miles home from work... I have moved my butt a lot.
Also, my eating has been almost completely on point. I have kept relatively close to my calorie goal every day and I've been eating back about 100-200 calories from what I've burned to ensure that my body isn't thinking that I'm starving it. So, I've been at about 1500-1600 total calories eaten per day. Not too shabby!
It probably doesn't hurt that some of this is probably water weight lost after a certain awful week of the month. But, doesn't matter! That weight counts too!
The thing I'm happiest about is that my enthusiasm is back. I've been feeling like I did when I first started this project. I'm counting calories, I'm wanting to move and sweat. I haven't wanted to do any of this for a while. I think it was going to the Do Life 5K last week. Seeing all of these wonderful people with all of their amazing stories inspired me to continue my own.
Now I will say that I expect to either plateau next week, or to see a small loss. My body is going to have to adjust to this big loss and I'm okay with that. I'm expecting it. It happened back in the fall/winter too. Of course, I don't know if I saw losses this big... But if I don't lose anything next week, I'll be ok. But how awesome would it be to be out of the 240s next week? I would be ECSTATIC!!
Hope you all have a great week!!
Wow..your doing awesome! Back when I was losing weight and working out hard i would lose a 3-5 lbs about once a month ( or every three weeks), thats how my body dropped weight I guess, so pls don't let a slow week discourage you. Congrats on your weight loss so far...very inspiring :)

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the loss!!! I love those weeks when you feel a big push to get back on track in a big way, and the results reflect all your hard work! Great job!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! so how was the rowing machine?
ReplyDeleteThe rowing machine is great! It's a full body workout, and because you are moving back and forth you get a little breeze so you aren't drenched. I needed an arm workout and this definitely fits the bill! Just don't eat fajitas before going on it... Not fun.
ReplyDeleteAmazing woman! I'm really proud of you!!
