Not slacking on tracking

Hey guys,
So I tracked every single day and even submitted it to my tracking buddy Lizz from WW this morning. Now how did I fair? I didn't go over my weekly's and what I used in Weekly's I think I earned in activity points. Does that translate in a loss at the scale? I have NFC (No F*cking Clue*. I weighed myself yesterday and I didn't drop anything noticable. It is that time of the month so I may have some water weight. Hopefully all my diligent tracking and trips to the gym will show next week. I had to visit Value Village this weekend to pick up capri pants. I wasn't fitting into any of my pants anymore and the whole process got very depressing. I tried on pants at the gap on Friday and didn't fit a single pair. I found two pairs of capri's at Canadian Thrift for $20.
Think light thoughts for me.

Lets try this again.

Hello poor neglected blog. I am sorry for not using you like a should. I promise to be better. I know I said I would be all "re-commited" and then it didn't happen. I am not sure what is going on. I know I have the will power of a super star, but I can't seem to get it started again. Sort of like a car that was working awesome. But then you hear a noise, it stalls and you keep trying twisting the key in the ignition and hoping that the car will kick back into life. I weighed in at 218 after my NYC trip. I gained a bit due to not tracking, eating poorly and visiting the cupcake store one too many times. I bought a tracker at weight watchers yesterday and I am going to try this time to look at this next phase of the weight loss as starting over. I am going to pretend that I am a new member starting at 218, my 5 % will be 11 pounds and my 10 % will be 22. That will get me back to 196 lbs. After that I will work on getting to 25 lbs which will be 193. Then work on small goals like getting into the 80's, 186, 183.2, 70's, 178.2 and then 175. Those are all tiny little goals which should help it not feel like this huge undertaking. Lets take things one step at a time. I am getting a head of myself. This week I am going to track everything and bump up my fitness. Maybe I can loose some of the weight I put on over my trip. Off to the personal trainer today.

No show

Went to the Gym last night, even though I kind of wished I didn't have a training session. The reason being that the gang from work went to the bar and I wanted to join them. But I went to the gym anyways and it turns out that my trainer went home sick and forgot to txt his clients that he wasn't going to be there. I had warmed up and everything and was just sitting there for 10 minutes before the fitness manager told me he wasn't in. So I worked out anyways. I worked my upper body and back. I didn't push myself as hard, but I didn't want to run the risk of injury. No worries peeps I got a free session for my troubles and he says he's going to be there tonight.

Lossing

I went down two pounds. Yay
My leader told me that next week is the last time she will be leading out group. I am saddened by this news and a little panic striken by the fact that I am losing one of my anchors of support. Boo

First Week Back

I justed wanted to post about my first week being "re-commited". I tracked everyday, I stayed within my points and ate a good portion of my weekly points. I had a session with the trainer on Thursday, walked this weekend and worked out yesterday with Christine. I think I might loose 2-3 lbs this week. *crossing fingers* it is hard to tell as last week I didn't get a chance to weigh myself in the morning. I can only guess. I have two sessions with the personal trainer this week (Wednesday and Thursday). I will post how I do tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Session with Adam

I did a circuit training session with Adam yesterday. 30 squwats with the 40 lb kettle bell, 1 minutes of swings with the 40 lb kettle bell, push him accross the gym with the fitness ball, crunches, alternating arm/leg lifts and slams with the medicine ball for 1 minutes. Lather, rinse, repeat. I always seem to get really winded, I am always worried that I will pass out but he makes sure that I have recovered before I move on to the next excersize. Next session with him is on Wednesday, I think I will get in a nice long walk on Saturday and then my workout with Christine of Monday night. I have stuck to tracking and eating according to plan for the last 3.5 days. It feels good to be back in a routine. I hope that my body has recovered to want to lose the weight now.

Re-commit

Hey guys,
Sorry that it has been a while. For the last few weeks I have been eating at maitenence and above to allow my body to recover from thinking it was in starvation mode. I had been dieting for so long that my body didn't want to loose anymore. As expected I gained steadily over the weeks as my body recovered, soaking up calories like a sponge. I put on more then I would have liked... a whopping 23 pounds. However in this time I have also been going to the gym, seeing my personal trainer twice a week and I suspect that 3-5 pounds of that could be muscle. I am progressively been lifting heavier weights and getting stronger. However due to the weight gain my self confidence is a bit low, my clothes are feeling tight and I am a bit depressed that I have dipped below my 100 lbs weight loss objective. Last week wasn't the best week. I had parties and many nights out so I ended this maitenence period with a bang, a 4.6 pound gain. I ate stupidly, it was just nice to eat some of the things I had been depriving myself with.... however I shoudln't have gone that crazy all at once. ANYWAYS the past is the past, no point crying over consumed calories. This week I am re-commiting to my "diet" style of eating. I am hoping that my body has now rebooted and I will be able to lose the 35 lbs I need to get to my goal. It would be nice to loose the weight by the summer. I think I need to start making some new goals.
Wish me luck,
Michelle
