Start Weight: 242
Current Weight: 179
I say 179 but really it’s probably 180 consistently. I’ve hit that plateau. Again. I’m experiencing that catch 22 – the more I work out, the hungrier I get. I’m expending the energy, it makes sense, but I can’t seem to really break that 61lb mark =/ However, there is a plus side and it’s not my jeans. My body is still getting smaller – I’ve noticed this by the distance my jeans seem to gravitate toward my knees, despite not losing the pounds.
Jeans are evil. Well, jean SIZES are evil. LEVI jeans? I can fit into a 12 no problem. Michael Kors skinny jeans? I can’t even get a 12 up past my thighs. What the hell?? I hate that crap. So I figure I’ll go by Old Navy and the Gap and see how those jeans fit me. My Old Navy size 18s literally fall off me now – which is so weird. I started this journey not even able to wear them I had gotten so big, but now I just look ridiculous in them.
Mike’s was home in July and we must’ve ate out a million times and I still managed to lose 5lbs. He left the end of July, but I haven’t lost anything really since then. Our high school reunion is this weekend, but as much as I wanted to go and show off my boobie shirt…
…I won’t be going. Really, the people I want to see, I can already see. Everyone else I don’t even really know and it’s not like anyone even noticed my ‘Oh can’t come’ post anyway. I’ll be taking the kids to the beach anyway. I’m looking forward to chasing David and Catherine up and down the beach and not wanting to pass out afterwards.
My workout schedule is as follows:
All the damn time.
No, I’m kidding.
15-20 mins cardio – either Elliptical or Running (lately it’s been running and I friggin love it!)
15 mins of lifting weights – Legs are up to 110-130lbs, Arms – up to 55lbs (and I can totally see the muscle definition now. Janet Jackson arms, here I come!)
Another 15 mins of cardio – running or elliptical, whatever I didn’t do the first time.
There’s a cardio boot camp class that I’m considering trying. I don’t really like working out with people, but I’ve seen the class and the variety might help boost my weight loss again. It’s this Friday at 12. Wish me luck!
Other than that – I feel super great, other than lower back pain that has plagued me since 16. I have to see the doctor about that – I’ll score a free boob reduction if it’s the last thing I do.
