Evening went well, nice Tilapia filets, rice, corn. Looks like CJ gave himself the day off of "school" and we talked more about the situation with B & J (of the earlier phone call). Watched some TV.
So....a question to the fitness buffs out there. Today is the first day since I've been "pedometering" (three weeks tomorrow) that I didn't do any "extra" walking. For the past three weeks I've been averaging nearly TRIPLE the mileage of today (my former "typical day").
I also boosted my weights, yoga and pilates-type stuff to 4+ times a week.
Add to that no snacks at night and about a 25% reduction in daily calories...you would THINK that would add up to some noticable weight loss, wouldn't you? Surely more than the two measly pounds my scale is telling me about!!!
Well on the 17th I find out if the hormones are all right...part of me is hoping there's an explanation for this!!!
if you are doing weights you are building mussle. mussle tissue weighs more than fat tissue (but it looks so much better.) you may not be loosing that much total weight but you should be redistributing what you have and also generally just feeling better.
Keep up with your routine and do not worry much about the scales. Instead, look in the full lenght mirror and notice how your clothes fit. And it does take lots of time.
I've been down this route before. I successfully kept my weight at about 20 pounds lighter than I now am for over 7 year with the help of regular exercise.
Then BLAM this spring/summer on they came.
I DO have a good muscle base and flexibility out the wazoo...just wish that six pack didn't have so much padding!
