Well, this week didn't go as well as week one. I'm sorry for the delayed post, my weekend was busy.
I didn't lose any weight this week, but I didn't gain any either. So I'm at 153. My Monday workout went great as usual. My Tuesday one didn't last as long. I wasn't feeling very well, but I went anyway. I did a little cardio and abs and called it a day. Thursday I met with my trainer for my evaluation and then worked out a little bit afterwards.
Lori, my trainer, took my measurements. Here they are:
Bust: 39 (although I am a 38 bra right now. I'd like to get that back down to a 36)
Waist: 33
Hips: 41
I thought my waist would be bigger than that. My hips made up for it though. My preliminary goals for my measurements are:
Bust: 36
Waist: 28-30 (maybe lower. We'll see)
Hips: 36/37
That may change as I go along. Besides my bust, I have no idea what my measurements were before I gained the weight that I have.
My thighs I believe are 24 inches each. I can't find the sheet I wrote them down on. I know I need to lose weight in my thighs. I don't really have a goal of what I want them to measure, I just know that they need to be thinner and more toned.
My calorie intake went pretty well this week. Friday night we went out for my Dad's birthday for pizza, so I know I went over my goal that day, but I'm not feeling totally guilty. I did say no to dessert! :)
My goal for this week is to lose at least a pound. I will work harder at the gym this week. That's a fact. I meet with my trainer on Wednesday for my first workout. Wish me luck! I hope I'll be able to walk.. lol.
Giving up sugar products are pretty easy for me so far. I didn't eat a lot of sugar before, so it hasn't been totally difficult. I have cut soda completely out of my diet. That isn't really hard. We don't have any at home and I've just been getting unsweetened iced tea when we go out. The only problem of the sugar thing is I have to have a little sugar in my coffee. I try to use only creamer, though since a lot of creamers already have sugar in them. I can't drink coffee black. Or I just can't find one that I like black. So I am trying to drink more tea since I don't like my tea with cream or sugar in it usually.
The only goals that I have come close to going over is the fat goal. I don't realize sometimes how much fat is in certain things. So I'm changing to 1% milk instead of 2%. I can't stand skim milk, so 1% will have to do. I need to make sure I am getting low fat cheese.
Hmm, what else? Not much. If I think of anything else, I'll post.
Until then, thanks for reading!

Still good that you've maintained the weight you've lost instead of gaining, I know that can still be a bit discouraging (I actually went through that this past week, ugh) but can't linger on it! Weight isn't necessary to dwell on, the inches are where it counts, so that's really nice that you got told what you're at now so you get to see your progress each week =) Muscle weighs more than fat, so that could always be a reason that the weight doesn't budge very quickly, so don't get too discouraged ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've been doing much better than me with sugar, hehe, Easter kinda ruined it for me as of late, but I'm getting back on track again. I'm the same with my coffee sometimes too, so I wouldn't worry about it. You don't have it often enough for it to be a problem I think, and that's great on switching the milk. That's what we get, it'll help =)
Keep up the great work Jen, it sounds like you're still going strong. Being conscious of what you're eating is the most important thing, so in the long run you'll definitely be keeping it off. A healthy life style change is the only way to do it. =D
Thanks for the encouraging words, Carrie! They mean a lot. I'm not getting discouraged just yet, I'll get there as long as I keep at it. So far so good! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I'm glad to hear it, and you're welcome! =)
