Jan 28th - day 10 in Gym

Well even after that great uplift of losing weight, I am already having a tough time working out. I have also ran out of my depression medicine and I know that that makes a big difference.

So this morning I went out to get that refilled. I can not have anything getting in the way of my goal here. I am really unhappy with myself and need to make changes for health and just to feel goos about myself again.

well i decided to get on the scale today to see if anything had changed. Maybe I cursed myself, bcause I saw that nothing had really changed, and possibly gained a pound. Now I know that weight fluxuates a little bit, but it sure is depressing.

That will teach me to get on the scale again before weigh in.

anyway I have been keeping to my schedule, doing the curcuit, then exta cardio usually about 10-15 mintues on the ellipical. I have been working up.

I talkedwith one of the trainers today about how to get rid of the "cottage cheese" look today. She said that you have to drink lots of water, and do the treadmil at a slower pace ( fat burning mode, instead of cardio mode) and do it for as long as you can.

So this is going to be my new focus. There are lots of problem areas that I need to work on. But this is the one that I think that is bothering me the most.

So me and the treadmil are going to be best friends. Which I am trying to get past the thought of last time I was on the treadmil, it really hurt my knees. But I will take it one step at a time.

If the Biggest Loser contestants can do the treadmil, knowing that they are probably hurting in the process, then I can suck it up and join them.

So I will become the fit machine that I am aiming for.

Thanks for your support....

Monday Jan. 25th - 7th day at Gym

Well today is the official weigh in date. I am very nervous and anxious to see how i have been doing.

With some things in the past no matter how much I did, or how well I watched what I ate, it was never enough to make changes, and so I gave up and the whole thing.

Which is why I am here again, with an even bigger battle to fight now.

well I got on the scale and to my suprise I had lost 5 pounds. WOW!!! Not as much as they lose on the Biggest Loser, but I will take it. They also have a lot more road to travel down.

well that got me encouraged. I have decided that I will commit to at least 3 months of working out twice a day to see if I get faster results.

well as my journey continues I hope you will follow me.

thanks for stopping by....
