Weigh-in

After nearly two months of regular exercising and moderately cautious eating (hey, there is Halloween candy...) I am still weighing in at the EXACT. SAME. WEIGHT.

I have a couple of theories.

1. I must be losing fat at the exact same proportion to making muscle. Meaning: I lose a pound of fat and gain a pound of muscle. Almost simultaneously. I like this theory. It means that someday, hopefully soon, I am all of a sudden going to start shedding unwanted pounds daily. I'll keep you updated.

2. The gravity on this side of the state must weigh more. If I went to Spokane to weigh myself I bet I'd be at least 10 lbs lighter. I told Roy this idea but he didn't think so. Still he's a lawyer, not a scientist so I'm not putting all my faith in that answer.

3. Well.. ..

Here's another thing. It's not like I am losing weight then gaining weight. No. I am staying the exact same weight! I do work out. I promise. I've been trying to do 30 min of cardio --EVERYDAY!!! (except weekends) I am trying to vary my cardio work-outs so my body is buring calories in a variety of ways. Monday I did the eliptical with the arm thingys then lifted weights for my upper body. Tuesday I went to the body sculpting class that I've talked about before. I think. Anyway, it's an hour of step/lunge/freeweight/ab/sweat. I actually left feeling slightly ill yesterday because I worked so hard. I really am not trying to 'go easy on myself'. However, I know I can't go at 100% everyday or else my body has not recovery time. I feel like I'm starting to babble.

So any way. Here's me weighing in.

Bethany always said that it took her at least 3 months of solid working out before she saw any type of change at all. Getting your metabolism ramped back up might just take longer for you than for someone else.

I know this because I am the fitness guru.

Uh, no.

But keep doing it, it will eventually catch back up. One morning you'll wake up and the whole muffin top will just be gone.

I like theory #1. I'll have to keep that in mind next time my scale hasn't moved.

Just keep swimmin', just keep swimmin', what can you do just swim, swim.

Just keep it up. Eventually it will work.

Maybe try counting calories. You might be surprised what kind of effect that can make.

Did you know 3 Jolly Ranchers has 70 calories? 70 CALORIES....can you believe it.

There is a link to a calorie counter on my TINA, FAT LARD blog.

Helped me shed a few pounds. Might work?!?!?
