One really crappy eternal round

152 lbs........back where I started last summer.

Super sucky!

Don't Have a Heart Attack, I Went to the Gym

Hmm. I didn't go to the gym when I said I was going to last time I posted.

BUT.

I went yesterday AND today, burning over 1,000 calories each day in 73 minutes of cardio, plus whatever I burned in 10 minutes of weights, plus my pilates. I feel much better. :)

As a side note, I just about gave Laura (the gal behind the counter at the Y) a heart attack when she saw me. She made a big gasp and put her hand over her heart, and then was kind enough to point out where the couches were for me. Smart Aleck. And then, on my way out she said I hadn't been there since 4/28. Well, I knew it was something like that. I told her I'd see her tomorrow and she asked if I didn't just want to wait another month and a half. I like her.

Also, I weighed myself yesterday (with sweaty clothes on because my mom was standing in the bathroom), and I was at 177, which is down from the 181 I was at. However, I think it's due more to muscle loss/fat gain than any self control on my part.

Well, at least I'm getting back on the horse, or wagon, or stick, or whatever.

2 days in a row....good for me!

I started working out again....now that the flu and sinus infection have finally excited my body.

I now have two days in a row. That's excellent as of late for me. Sad really. Gone are the workouts 6 days a week. What has happened to me. It has been a good 2 or 3 months since I had that kind of consistency. No wonder I am putting on weight.

We'll see how it goes.

When I went to the DR. the other day I weighed in at 151 lbs. Not bad but not where I want to be. I will weigh again in two weeks when I go back to the doctor.

Hopefully the "happy" pills she put me on will not cause me to gain weight. It says there could either be weight gain or loss of appetite. I just love how they have to cover both bases. I could use a bit of an appetite depressant.....hopefully I will swing that way. :)

(Yes, Val......I AM on something......DON'T TELL YOU KNOW WHO!.......oh wait, you aren't in her ward anymore. Oh well, just in case you run into her, don't tell her okay? Wouldn't want her gloating about it being her idea and how good it is for me). :)

A Healthy Attitude?

Hmm, no one's posting.


I haven't been to the gym in *gasp* over a month now, and I'm seeing the results of it. They're showing up in the scale, and in my clothes, and in my attitude, and now also as a pain in my back. I'm not really sure what my problem is other than perhaps a rebellion of cosmic proportions at getting out of bed at 4:45am. I am not now, nor have I ever been a morning person. The fact that I was able to arise at said time for as long as I did is a testament to something, but I'm not sure what.

Anywho, my motivation is gone. Working on getting it back. Because, I think that I like being a size 10. I may never lose the last 30 pounds, but I don't want to be bigger again. When I was 205lbs I said that if I was ever a size 10 again I would be happy. And I'm there. I am not the thinnest girl in the room, but I'm not usually the fattest girl either. I think I'm just going to be happy to be ME. So I will go to the gym tomorrow and strive to lose the 6 pounds I've gained during this workout recession, and then, if I lose, I lose. But if I don't, then I maintain, and I'll be happy about that.
