There. That about sums up my attitude on life. At least this very second.
I can't lose the weight. I just can't. I swear to the heavens that if I drop below 260, I am going to party.
I've been walking the last few days. About a mile a day. half mile in the morning, half mile in the evening. I do 20 minutes on the bike every night, and I've been doing crunches every other night, just about 50-60 of them. I do work with the weights with both arms, I've even been adding more exercises.
Some nights, I also do the Leslie Sansome walking too. I did a mile and half the other night with her. I even bought a second DVD of hers to use downstairs.
I'm eating better, i'm eating smaller portions and I'm ingesting more protein and vegetables than before, and STILL I can't get below 260.
The last three weeks, I've been sitting at 262. Granted, I've been doing this heavy regimen on myself for only the last week. But, I will see what happens by next friday. If I still havent' lost significant weight, I think I'm about to just give up.
no. I can't give up. The next step is to go to a gym, where I can find professionals to help me. There's Exreme Fitness in town, as well as Curves. Curves I have to pay membership fees, whereas Extreme is monthly. But, Curves is more likely to have other fat people, whereas everytime i go by Extreme, I see people in there that don't look like they need it.
So, realizing that I might be gaining muscle and losing inches, but still not losing weight, I decided to get my measurements done. So here we go, god these are scary
Bust: 48" (121.9 cm)
Waist: 43" (109.2 cm)
Hips: 58" (147.3 cm)
I will do measurements again next week on friday as well as weighing. If the measurements have gone down, but the weight has stayed steady, then I might be mollified.
Also, I don't know if I'm doing these crunches right. I mean, They hurt a bit when I do them, under the ribs, but i don't hurt too bad right now, not like I did the first night that I did them. or the second night. What if I'm doing all of this and I'm actually doing them wrong? What if that's why I can't lose the weight?
ugh, doubts and drama in my life. I think it might be bed time.
I will look into new running shoes soon. Or walking shoes.
Also, yoga. I would love some opinions on Yoga, or other calming stretchy things, like tai Chi or something.
or comments on this thing at all. so I know I'm not just writing for myself and Sami to read.

I think I may have mentioned before but here goes again....Netflix has TONS of different kind of workout videos...so you could get a couple different yoga, belly dancing, martial arts, dance, Biggest Looser, (Carmen Elektra) striptease, etc. and try them out and find out what you really like to do or do a bunch of different ones. I like to mix mine up...not right now while I'm pregnant but in a few short weeks when the little one pops out! =) Also, I like Fitness and Shape magazine because they offer little workouts you can do that include pictures and levels (beginner, intermediate, etc.)...plus they are really cheap ($10/yr.) and you can do it all in your own home if your like me and really don't want other people to see you working out!
