7/29--4mile walk in 62min
Total time spent exercising--6hrs 28min 16miles walked
Weight lost: none, 3lbs gained

Well, I guess my eating was worse than I thought. I was up to 244 this morning. That's so irritating. I can't believe I gained 2.5lbs in one day. :mad: GRRrrrr.
So I walked 4 miles this evening, and was more careful about my eating today. I'm hoping to lose some of the gained weight tomorrow.
 
Excercise this week:
7/30--30min circuit training

Well, I lost 1lb this am, so I need to lose 2 more until I'm back where I was this time last week. Today I went back on the Curves diet--1600 calories p/day with 6 small meals. I just got back from the gym and really worked the machines hard--and I can feel it. Boy is it hot out today--94degrees. Thankfully, it's not humid.
 
I jumped in here and read your diary b/c your screen name is so cute to me!
And I must say that you are lucky to not have humidity. It rained here earlier and it's all foggy-humid. The worst. :[
 
Way to go on the 1 lb!
Was 92 here with humidity so bad you could literally see the air .
Btw what part of Michigan are you in ? I have family in Pinconning.

Keep on keepin on !

thanks for checking out my diary. of course it's humid--you're in south carolina..lol whereabouts? I just love Charleston--doesn't everyone? especially Charlestonians...lol
 
Hey Paul,
I sent you a pm, but don't know if you got. I'm in Grand Rapids. Never heard of pinconning. Must be small b/c I am very familiar with Michigan geography. Where are you in Ga? Being a huge Gone With the Wind fan, I have a soft spot for Georgia..lol

Been pretty good with the eating today. Stuck to the meal plan for the most part..:doh:

I grew up in Aiken and live near there. We're about 2.5-3 hours from Charleston. Which, yes, is totally my dream city. :] I honeymooned there, have 2 Rainbow Row paintings, and try to go yearly to blow money and tour. I also have an aunt and other friends that live there. Oh, don't get me started. Once I get there, I never want to leave!
 
I'm currently writing a historical novel that partially takes place in Charleston. I'm a Northerner who loves the South.
 
Still no change on the scale this am. Bummer, but I'm not totally discouraged. Today is another day, and it just might take a couple to see some results.

For the past 2 months, I have fluctuated between the same 4 lbs, up and down. This morning I finally dipped below. It might take a little time on the scale, but the results show up other places too. [Yeah, I go nuts trying to console myself with that too. hehe]
I'd like to hear a little more about the novel too. I love the South and, well, I love to write. You seem like my kinda person. ;]

Hey girl,I know it is tough and frustrating when you work so hard and see the scale not budge BUT it will probally drop a good 2-3 next weigh in,atleast thats how it was for me,honestly I went from 255-230's it felt like NOTIME but I hung out in the 220's forever now I am struggling and have been since OCTOBER with getting past 175 I bounce back to 190 we just have to keep working hard and NOT get discouraged.I hopew you have a gr8 day and congrats on all that you have lost so far,Tammy
 
I just real through your journal. You are doing soo well sticking to your diet and exercising.

Keep it up and you will see the results soon...don't get discouraged... scales are sooo frustrating.
 
Thanks for all the encouragement girls! Been kinda a rough last week with the plateau and all. Glad to know I'm not alone. I've hit this before. Seems about every 10-14lbs I stop losing for a couple of weeks. I'm doing a few new things this week to try and shake up my metabolism.

Today I went for a 3mile walk. Did it in my usual 45min, but did some interval training. I would walk at a normal pace for a few min, then walk as quickly as I could in 92degree heat for a few min. Kept that up the whole 3 miles. I was sweating like a pig by the time I was done...lol and huffing and puffing. So I think I got a good workout today.

I've been eating 6 small meals a day since yesterday, 1600 calories. Hopefully I'll notice something on the scales tomorrow--even just a pound would give me some encouragement..lol

Going to the marriage counsellor again tonight. Got an annoying email from the husband that makes me think I'm ready to call it quits. But who knows...lol
 
Exercise for this week:
7/30--30min of circuit training
7/31--3mile walk in 45min and 92degree heat (yes, I'm begging for sympathy)

Food today: 2 hard boiled eggs, one low-carb protein shake, 1/2cup strawberries and 1/2cup cottage cheese, 2tbsp organic peanut butter, low-fat chicken/veggie stir fry. Trying to eat meal #5 which is a salad with sliced roast beef, but I'm just not that hungry. Don't think I"m going to get to meal #6 today.

Went to the marriage counsellor tonight. I think it's over. I think I realize this deep down, but it's hard to put an end to a 10yr relationship--no matter how optimistic I am about the future. And I'm looking for a new or additional job. Wish me luck.

Hi there BB,

I actually read a post of yours to Rena and decided to drop into your journal. :) First off, you're doing fabulous with your workout and I give you credit for walking in 92 degrees, because I know my bum wouldn't do it! HA! (Don't forget sunscreen, a wide brim hat, and water.. I know.. I'm getting motherly. I'll stop. haha) Your meal plan sound delicious as well.

As for the marriage counselor, I hope things workout the way you want them to. If you start to get stressed over the whole ordeal put all the frustration into working out, whether at the gym or going walking around your neighborhood. Wishing you the best....

-Sheryl :)
 
Sheryl--Thanks for stopping by. I always use sunscreen when I walk during the day--otherwise my big nose turns as red as a tomato! I'm actually not that stressed about the marriage/possible divorce. I haven't lost any sleep over it..lol I guess that might be a bad thing. And after reading about some other people's horrible marital experiences on here, I'm beginning to think I've got it easy with my hubby.

Well--I had awesome news at the weigh in this morning!! Not only did I lose the rest of the 2lbs I gained, but I lost an additional 1/2 pound as well. So that makes for 37 total lbs lost, and I can finally move my ticker--first time since joining. WooHoo!!!! I don't think I've ever been so excited over losing a half pound..lol
 
Congrats on your 2 pounds plus a half:)

I used to think that a half pound or a pound wasn't that much until I found the website mypetfat.com. Seeing those globs of one and five pounds of fat really made me appreciate the little bits I lose.

I'm glad your not stressing over your divorce. Maybe not losing sleep over it means its the right thing.

Keep up the great work
~Jenna
