Today was not a good day for my ego. Nothing fit, nothing looked good, and I have gained a total of 2 lbs in the past 2 weeks. WHAT?? I have been working hard, eating well/within my calorie limit, and working with a trainer. Why am I not losing anything? I understand that after a while, the pounds come off a little slower, but I'm in the first few weeks of this. Grrrrrrrrr. I'm not gonna lie, I am pretty irritated. Not discouraged, not depressed, not mad at myself for not working harder (I guess I can always work harder). I am irritated. And I'm not losing inches either. My trainer has me lifting 30 min 3x/week with 30 min cardio after, plus an extra 2-3x/week doing 1 hour of cardio. I think I am going to up the cardio by 30 min everyday and see what happens. I have to burn more calories. I don't want to get out of control with this, but dangit, I WANT RESULTS!!
Anyway, I weighed in this morning at 190.4. I didn't want to ge back to the 90's EVER (and lets be honest, who would anyway--big bangs...really??) I need to set up a better menu plan. Right now I am just working on making healthy choices throughout the day. I have been doing really good so far. If I eat something that I shouldn't, I make sure that I only eat a little, and I don't exceed my calorie limit for the day. I have really cut back on the Diet Coke intake too. I limited myself to $1 per day to spend on soda (that was part of my agreement with myself to get a trainer) I have done really well with that. On Saturday I started my plan to cut out the caffeine. I bought fresca and lite lemonade instead. I was pretty sad to find that the lemonade has aspartame, which is part of the reason why I wanted to ditch diet soda. Oh well. One less option. No biggie. I'm drinking a lot of water in an effort to not want to drink so much soda. It's working well!
Ok, well enough rambling. I have to go to the gym. Here's to the treadmill...and the stair stepper...and the eliptical...and to 15% body fat.
OH!! 2 more things. I am doing the St George Triathlon on May 9th, and "Little Red" is 7 1/2 weeks away!! Yee haw!
