The week of more trial and error.

My usual 1400cal which easily drops the weight in 1-2 lb increments a week is doing it VERY slowly which could be attributed to the simultaneous working out and muscle exchange coupled with liquid retention in the repairing muscles.

In any case. I'm dropping calories to 1250 and taking to 2 rest days from working out. I'm skipping a free day until after my husband returns the 15th just to get as far as I can while he is gone.

I've re-added my vitamins and other than that,,,we are good....protein intake is much higher than before and the fat to muscle exchange is testament to that.

Happy working out.

Well my husband went to the Pine Barrens of NJ for two weeks. So I have that time to do what is necessary without excuses. I did have an old fashioned donut this morning though with my girls. Hell Iw as up at 430 taking my hubby to the airport and they are fresh at that hour so I figured it would be a nice surprise for the girls.

I am happy to at least a see a pound change today. I lot rests on what I eat in the evening whether I will get the change on the scale in the morning.

I'm also giving up protein bars this week since last week I ate them and had a hard time moving the scale which has happened before. Even though they are counted into my calories just like everything else....they still slow down my progress I think...we'll see this week. Odd though.

Off to tackle the treadmill!

OK! I just have to bitch for a minute here!

I am eating the exact caloric intake that I normally do to drop about 2 lbs a week when not working out. Now I AM working out and it's been 3 days so I should see SOME movement on the scale; however, I have NOT lost a POUND...or a tenth of a pound BUT I have lost 2% bodyfat. I should be happy but I am just ANNOYED!

ANNOYED! did I mention I'm ANNOYED!

SO...I usually just go back to the old way here and lose the weight first and work on the bodyfat after the target weight is achieved.

SO...lets drop 200 calories and stop all eating after 530pm.....unless it's a sucker to curb an all out SNACK. I have to remember I'm dealing with as much muscle as I usually have to justify more calories but this trial and error that ALWAYS comes with buckling down just PISSES me OFF. I should keep a log...at 14% bodyfat XXX calroies is ok with working out and XXX calories is ok without....then do that for each bodyfat percentage. That might save me the aggravation that ALWAYS ocurrs when I start over like this.

To all those losing weight....it's ALWAYS trial and error for your specific body type...time of month...and any and all other variations! Trial and error takes up a week of weight loss....DAMMIT! ; )

----is my period coming or what!

SORE! SORE! SORE!

I did Yoga yesterday and I am not sure if I am sore from the weights the day before or the yoga yesterday. OUCH! I have to say I do love pain when it's from working out.

I am about to jump on the treadmill in a few and follow it up with Wednesday weights and the P90X ab workout.

Calories, calories.....I am meeting the 1400 mark but I have not seem a drop on the scale. That is actually normal when I start working out since results are usually 2 days behind. I need to jump onto the cranb water today and I should see some movement tomorrow.

Here's to being back on the wagon!

SO, can you say...NO EXERCISE AND UNBRIDLED EATING FOR A MONTH EQUALS 5 LBS!!!

I am shamefully at 126 which just sucks ASS! lol!

I am not overly concerned since I know exactly what to do and how long it will take to do it. My only concern is that I have gotten really good at losing without working out much. I haven't tackled caloric intake balance coupled with weights and running in awhile. It may be trial and error for a week or two. The result of no working out...

...UM what abs...My legs still have cut lines all the way up to the top of my thighs but the top is flabby and soft. Miraculously, my arms maintain all definition. However, when I run, I can see this jiggling crap on my thighs even though when still, they look ok. Clearly everything from the bottom of my ribs DOWN needs to be PULLED in with some MUSCLE. My bodyfat has crept up to 16.5 and I need to move that down along with the weight. The struggle will be to lose the weight and retain the muscle. I must increase my protein intake and since I have let my macronutrient ratios slide all over the map, this will be a challenge for the first week until I remember those old habits that left while I was enjoying 3 musketeers and coffee for breakfast. GOD it was nice to rely on the muscle I had built...SO MUCH LEEWAY...just enough rope to hang myself. lol!

To climbing back on the horse with eating, exercising, AND all the things I SHOULD NEVER have left. Gotta push the boundaries right...

GOALS!!! 124 by Monday 15.5 %
122 by the 9th of June at 14.9%
119 by 18th squarly at 13.9%.

Running 20min MWF followed by weights 45min'
TTH 45minutes and YOGA!
Saturday FREE DAY and tennis
Sunday REST

Tennis any other days I can get out there...hopefully 3 days/week. I never add those calories burned into the equation bcz it should just be a norm.
40% Protein 40% carbs 20% fat 6 days a week. 5-6 meals a day.

CRANWATER HERE I COME! If I can wash away the water weight...it will be a nice head start!

TAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
