since I've posted, eaten right, or worked out. I've been really bad for about 1 1/2 weeks. I got my office all finished and it just zapped all my energy. But, I'm ready to get back to it.
I haven't weighed, I'm really scared to. So, I think I'll try and wait until at least a week from now to weigh in. I think if I'm up much, I'll just want to give up.
I just can't seem to stay off the scale. I want to weigh like 10 times a day. As if that will make a difference. I need to get back to weighing in ONLY once per week.
Last night I had a dream, that I went somewhere (not sure where I was), but I had to weigh and they told me I was 63 lbs overweight. It was like their scale was broken, and I tried to explain that I didn't weigh that much at home. Can you say, my weight loss is on my mind way too much?
AM Eliptical: 45 minutes
Ok, a few weeks ago I bought one of those body fat % scales, because my weight loss has been soooooo slow. I thought MAYBE I was gaining some muscle. Well, since then I've only lost 3 lbs, BUT according to my math, I've lost 4.43 lbs of fat. COOL!!!!
Weight when I bought scale - 160, Body Fat - 43% - FAT - 68.8
Weight today - 157, Body Fat 41% - FAT - 64.37
Still not enough, but I'll take it. I hope that Body Fat Scale really works! It just grosses me out that 64 lbs of my body is fat!
Yesterday's workout - Drywalling ceiling - ouch! 1 hour, Eliptical 30 minutes - PM
Today's scheduled workout - Step and Tone - 1 hour AM, Eliptical 30 minutes PM
I took a week off, because of my bronchitis, pending MRI due to headaches, and a visit from my parents. I have to admit the time off did me good!!! I started back working out on Sunday, and I feel great! I am still getting exercise induced headaches, but I now have meds, and I know I don't have a brain tumor 
.
Today's workout: Circuit AM
This morning's workout was terrible. I did circuit with weights, and my muscles felt like mush! I barely made it through. Yesterday, I had an awesome cardio session. BUT, after I got a horrific migraine. So, I guess I'm still recovering. I'm becoming afraid to do any heavy aerobics, because this is the 2nd time I've gotten a migraine. I will be talking to my Dr. about it next time I see him.
I've decided to start eating again. I've been eating very little, and I've not lost any weight. I guess I'm in that starvation mode. So, why suffer right? I'm going to get back to eating 3 meals and 3 snacks a day - around 1200 calories. This is the plan I was on at Jenny Craig and I did well on it. Of course that was 2 kids ago.
I have suddenlty become addicted to exercise! In all my years of exercising this has never happened to me. I've always dreaded it, and hated it. But, now I can't do without it. On my one day off per week, I want it. I'm doing two sessions a day, and I love it. I hope this feeling lasts!
I bought a new scale yesterday. It was my reward for all my hard work. It tells your weight, body fat % and hydration. I couldn't believe it said I had 41% body fat! My dh got on it - doesn't work out at all btw, and his was 25%. My 4 year old was 11.1%. My weight hasn't changed much in the last two weeks, which is suprising with all my working out. I've been eating good too. Hopefully, my body will start to cooperate soon.
I really hate that feeling. Thought it might be my shoes, but nope, not that. Anyone else? Any advice?
Can you say, I put off working out til the last minute. I soooooo didn't want to do it this morning. I did everything I could prior to my workout. My house is spotless, and everything was done, so I had no more excuses to put it off.
Well, I'm a little bummed this morning. I've been on this BP medication called Toprol XL, it's a beta blocker, and it slows my heart rate down to around 50 resting. Well, I've noticed lately that when I work out, my heart rate is no where near where I used to get it. So, I got to thinking, I wonder if I'm burning as many calories, since my heart rate isn't up as much. I looked it up and Toprol XL can cause your metabolism to slow and cause weight gain. It all makes sense now. I've been having problems since I started taking it. I'm going to cut my dosage to half, watch my pressure and if it stays down, keep it at half. They have me on 100 mg, and my dh is on 25 mg, so I think mine maybe a little much.
On a good note, SWIMKATT is m-o-t-i-v-a-t-i-n-g me! Last night I saw she was going back to the Gym at 7. I was like if she can get out at 7 and go to the Gym, I can surely walk into the next room and work out. I did 30 more minutes on the eliptical machine. I'm going to try and do that every night in addition to my morning workouts. THANKS SWIMMY!
My 4 year old has a birthday party this afternoon. Hopefully, I can steer clear of the cake!
I've seriously missed you!!!!! Weighed in this morning at 159.5 
What is it about getting under that certain # that makes it all worth while. Doesn't matter if it's 159.999999 I'm still under 160, and I'm gonna stay there this time!!!!
I'm sore this morning from my exercise yesterday. I guess that's a good sign. I also told dh that I'm getting a treadmill to go beside our eliptical machine. I really like to walk at night, and it's too cold, it gets dark around here at 5 pm. He said to go pick one out. I love my man!
Well, I worked out so hard this morning, I gave myself a headache. I hate it when I get a headache from working out. I'm also pre-menstrual so that's not helping either. I was just feeling so good while working out, I did the entire session. I've only been doing half. Sooooo, hopefully some coffee will help out.
Off to get the kids ready for mother's day out.
BTW, I did terrible on my eating over the three day weekend, but I did excellent on my working out. I'm back on track with eating today! I'm looking forward to my weigh in on Thursday.
