I went back to Zumba 2 weeks ago. I have gotten in my 3x a week for 2 whole weeks :) Believe me, it took every bit of will power to get there. EVERY single bit. It's a start. But I have had lunch plans several days a week, hubby and I still have date dinners, it's been an all out eating frenzy since before I left for Georgia. Honestly, for months.
So here's what I learned when I measured myself today. My arms and my legs have not gotten bigger. My boobs and my gut have taken on 10 lbs. My butt is only 1/2 inch wider than my waist. I am a true apple. Actually when I told my husband, he asked what fruit I am now, and I said I am a f!@king apple. Please excuse my curse words, but that is truly what I said. When I got my cholesterol results back (prior to my actual Dr. visit) and was so proud of the results, he said "yes, but she hasn't weighed you yet!" Yes, he is still alive.....I am forgiving of him because he has to listen to me complain all the time.
So.....what am I going to do? I am going to go back to the basics, or at least to the best of my human ability. I have lunch plans on Wed, and Thursday, but I think I can work around it. We are also going to the Oregon Coast the first of next month, and potentially a Mariner's game later this month. When I travel, all bets are off. I need to wrap my head around success. The good thing at the Coast is we are staying in a condo with a full kitchen, that way we don't have to eat out twice a day. UGH!
Because I know you will, please wish me good thoughts...I honestly hate this bulge that taunts me when I sit down. Winter and jeans are coming...........YIKES!!!
Blessings and happy scales....

Hi Kay - its funny how guys get away with saying the stupidest things. At least your cholesterol is better. Just jump back in and you can get that back off. :-)

ReplyDelete10lbs or not, you are such a cutie-patootie! I'm happy for your cholesterol dropping. Kind of confusing that eating lower-carb increases the foods that are traditionally linked to its increase though. I have a hard time with it still and think about it every morning when I eat my couple of eggs with cheese. As far as exercise, that's awesome! I'm too body conscious to join up with a group like that but have been doing my in home walking videos several times a week or walking several miles in town with my sister-in-law. While I may not see any changes as far as the scale or clothes fitting, I know that I feel better in general.
ReplyDeleteYou are still so cute! It's hard to get back on the horse when you fall off, but you know what to do. I am still chugging along. Giving up the wheat and grains has been so good for me. I just don't allow myself to have them and I don't crave them anymore. Weight loss is slow, but I do have weird thyroid issues and still like my wine. However every Drs. visit I am less than the one before and that's all I can ask! Sending hugs!! XO!
