Crappy workout - but at least I went to the gym
I didn’t set out to have a lousy workout this morning. I had a training session scheduled so that at least got me out of bed. I got to the gym late because I have been so tired lately and it’s been hard to get up. I walked on the treadmill for about 5 minutes but noticed my trainer wasn’t there yet. So I went and stretched — still no trainer. It’s now after 5:30. So I figured I might as well hop on the treadmill again and at least break some sort of sweat. I walked for 20 minutes. I ran for a few of those and walked at a 10.5% incline for about 10 minutes. Then I did a few weight machines. By then it was 6 and I noticed my trainer coming in. I asked if she forgot about me. She asked if I had gotten her text messages. Uh, no. She had texted me last night and this morning saying she wasn’t going to make it. I guess they didn’t come through because I always check my phone in the morning in case my friend has texted me. She felt really bad, but I told her not to worry. I still exercised. Sure enough, when I got to my locker and checked my phone.. there they were. Oh well. I’m not upset. I cancelled on her last Thursday so no biggie.
BUT…. I did weigh myself again today and I dropped 1 lb. So I am at 201.something!! I am getting closer to the 190’s and it’s exciting.
Here’s a question though… I’ve dropped about 20lbs if not more since Thanksgiving last year. Why are my 18’s still fitting fine(just a little loose) and i have only 1 pair of 16’s I can get into?! WTF is up with that?!

If you are like me, it is going to come off everywhere else first. You know how much I have yapped about my belly. And that is what kept me from dropping sizes in the beginning. People always talk about counting inches instead of weighing, but that would NOT have worked for me in the beginning. Finally, once I got down to maybe the 150’s, I started noticing differences in inches and noticing things changing a lot faster than before. I’d suggest looking at things like bra size, how your shirts fit, if your sleeves are looser now, etc. You will probably notice a difference there.

i’m with you. my pants aren’t as loose as i think they should be. BUT they are fitting much better in the arse because my love handles are shrinking. have you looked at yourself from behind lately?!

My boobs are no longer boobs. More like The Appendages Formerly Known as Boobs.
