Ok.... if slow and steady wins the race, then I will definitely win. Ha! I was pissed off during the first weigh-in of the challenge because I only lost 2lbs. Well, this week I only lost 1.5lbs. What the hell??
Trying to keep in mind that these are just numbers and I could very well be gaining a ton of muscle as I've been doing cardio 6 days a week and strength training about 4-5 days. But, then my muscle mass went down by 1.2% too. DaFUQ??? Whatever. I'm not giving up. I still want to be a smaller, physically fitter (more fit?) person come May.
I'm still eating healthier (in fact I'm eating a spinach salad right now). I'm definitely being active and diligent about excercising. AND my blood pressure is back to normal. And I even noticed last week that my arms are starting to show muscle definition again. So yay me! But still... 180.5 lbs. Why does that number taunt me so much?
I know why... because its just so high! I mean I was at 182lbs at my highest weight just 8 years ago after having Sammy and I STILL manage to get down to the 130's, so what's stopping me this time? I just don't get it. I'm used to dropping weight, getting uber excited, and dropping even more.
I can't help but wonder if hitting menopause has something to do with this. It could. But jesus...I don't feel old. Before when I was losing, I would get obsessed about losing. And yes, sometimes this caused me to get down to eating so little during the day which isn't good. But, I seriously would be happy in the 140's right now. So....BUDGE you damn scale! I command you!
Ok. Enough ranting. In other news, Sarah is on WT1 at Basic Training in Texas. I've written her several letters, but I understand it may be another week til I hear back from her. I miss her. And yet, I don't - HA! I don't miss the mood swings (every. single. day.)and I don't miss her careless messes. Plus the house is quieter. However, I still keep thinking about her and wondering how she is handling all the changes to being an adult. *sigh*
Today I've been super accomplished. Paid some bills online, called about getting taxes filed, got two pair of my glasses re-shaped (I'm hell on glasses), grocery shopped and even manage to get dinner ready for this evening. And just an hour ago, I went to Lowes. Dayem!!
I'm mostly excited about finally getting my glasses fixed and my Lowes trip. I went to get a bunch a new bushes and some shelving for two of our bathrooms. My poor house, being all new and shit, is naked outside. It needs landscaping and lots of beautiful greenery. Next step is finding a landscaper to come build out the driveway and a backyard fire pit area.
Ok - time to make calls.
Later!
