Plateau???

So...I was completely on track this past week with food and exercise and only lost -0.3....I don't get it...I have worse weeks with food and exercise and lost more than that.  I know many people will have plateau's in their weight loss...I'm wondering if that's what I am running into?!?  How can I break thru this?? I am at a loss right now and pretty frustrated...not to the point of quitting because I WILL reach my goal but I would like to get there sooner than later.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Strength Training....Ugh....

Ok so I started this new program this week with a mix of cardio and strength training...I don't believe that I have lost any weight this week at all...I was hoping this would be a big jump start to my new year...but not so much...lol....I know, I know....muscle weighs more than fat and my body fat % has lowered some this week but I have this bad obession with that number on the scale...I know I shouldn't, but I do.  I'm sure if I just stick with it that I will see results....I still want those immediate fixes even though I have been at this for over 10 months....bad habits are hard to break.  Alright well...we'll see how tomorrow's weigh in goes...cross fingers!

A New Day

I have decided to start today fresh, just from the beginning...like it's my first day on Jenny.  A rebirth!  I WILL get to my goal, it's just a matter of time now.  I am going to start up a new exercise routine today too that consists of cardio and strength training here at home since I have all the equipment to do so right in my house.  I'm really excited to see how far I will get in just 4 weeks. I am also going to take my measurements today to see my progress in a months time. Sweet!!!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Not so much.....

Um ya, not such a good week for me.  I showed a gain of 1.2 this week....ahhh...I haven't had a gain since May.  I know what I did wrong...I wasn't consistant with my exercise and got off track to many times with my eating.  Well, on to the next week, I hope it will be much better!  I HAVE to stay on track!!

Sllllllllooooooowwwwww

I know they say the slower you lose the weight the more likely you are to keep it off but dang....this is going way to slow for me! LOL...... Weigh in was today...down -1.6 this week....I feel like I have hardly gone anywhere in 2 months.  I guess I just need to push it a little bit harder! Maybe I should get a personal trainer??  Something to think about!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!!

I finally did it.....

I posted new pics.....finally!

The New Year is coming!!

After having such a slow December because of surgery I feel I am finally back on track!  I am starting to feel so much better and should be back to exercising the first week on January...thank goodness!  I love this time of year too because it feels like such a fresh start with a new year upon us.....I had a great 2006 but I know I will have an even better 2007....I am going to reach my goal and maybe then some....I'm taking a great vacation to Disneyland for a week in July with lots of family..and so many other things to look forward to!

I am so proud to say that I still lost -2.1 this week with Christmas and no exercising!  I was shocked!!!  Now...can I do that again??

I wish everyone a safe and Happy New year!

Back to losing!

Alright, I'm back in the game....kinda :)  I still can't exercise and probably won't be able to for about 2 more weeks because I think I started to take it a little to fast the past few days and my body has noticed with a little bit of pain....I just need to slow down a little and let my body recover 100% so I don't screw things up!  I was down -1.1 this week....not too much when it's for 3 weeks but I just have to remind myself that I just had surgery :)  I am switching my weigh in days to Saturday's starting this Saturday because I am so sick of fighting people to get in for the first appointment on weekday mornings....it's just too hard...I can be much more flexible on Saturday's!  So this will be a short 4 days before I have to weigh in again!  Hope for the best, expect the worst...lol :)

I will post Saturday after weigh in!!!

What is today......

I wanted to start off by saying a huge Thank You to all of you who have sent warm wishes! They are so very much appreciated! 

I did have surgery on Monday...I am still feeling pretty bad.....I can barely move really...but I know I need to because I am so super sore from not moving and having shots in all of my limbs on Monday.  I did have to stay quite a bit longer in the hospital than expected because they couldn't get my naseau under control....it was so bad....throwing up was horrible since I had just had 4 cuts in my stomach....to say the least I am really really sore....I hope that tomorrow will be a much better day than today.....

To make matters worse...I decided to step on to my scale this morning after I went to the restroom....ya, I was up like 10 lbs. since Monday morning.....I hope that is just swelling and will go away!!!  I'm sure I have some water gain too since I have not been drinking all my water....I'll give myself some time to adjust....I'm just frustrated and I just want to feel normal again :(

Alright, I'm gonna jet for now and lay down...I will update soon and I will update with some pictures sometime this month when I am feeling better!

With Love,

Jen

Inch by inch.....

Just down -0.3 this week....I will take it for having Thanksgiving in there! lol......  I am down over 33 inches now though!  Well, I probably won't be weighing in next week because I am having surgery on Monday....sounds weird but I am super excited!  I am so ready to put all of this behind me!

Have a great week!

Love,

Jen
