br!na's weightloss diary

Dangit, now I want oranges and don't have any!

That really sucks about your car...hope it's a quick fix and you don't have to pay for it.
 
Okay, you guys.... I'm in need of support today. I'm frustrated and I just want to sit down and cry. My weigh in today was 200.0. I really don't want to be back up to 200. :( even if its muscle and not fat. Right now, I want that number to go down and my inches to go down. So should I just focus on the bike and treadmill while at the gym, and not do the weights?? What am I doing wrong that I jumped two pounds in one day?? Ugh.

Oh and btw, yes the company that the delivery guy works for is covering the damage to our truck. We just have to get estimates, then contact the company and they decide which place to take it and get it fixed. So, I'm happy for that.

I know I have things to do and places to go today. But I just want to to back to bed and cry and sleep the rest of the day. Maybe I'm making too big of a deal about this weigh in. But its just very upsetting!
 
Don't worry about your weight, br!na. It could be muscle, yes. But it could also be water weight if you're very well hydrated, or near that time of month. I didn't start doing weights until a couple weeks ago, before then it was exclusively cardio using the bike and treadmill. I see no problem laying off the weights until later on.
 
Well to be honest... I havent had my cycle in 6-7 months. But I've been feeling it in the past week. Maybe that's it. :)

I can't go walking around the block today... It's rainy again and man is it humid!! BUT- I'm about to put in my workout dvd and do some interval training. :)
 
What Belinda said...could be water weight. Don't worry so much about day to day weight fluctuations. If you are concerned with building too much muscles and not losing enough weight, go full on cardio for a while. Once you start losing more you can go back to the weights to help tone and build muscle for even more fat loss.

As for your cycle...do you have women issues? If not, may be something to get checked out. Personally I have PCOS, sometimes I'm good and get my TOM every month for a few months. Right now I can't remember the last time I got it, I often don't keep track any more to be perfectly honest. I don't actually have cysts but I'm very irregular and my hormones are all over the place.

Hope the workout helps you feel better :) And glad to hear the company is paying the repairs. Hope it all happens quickly!
 
Icychic, I have been checked for PCOS. They said I don't have it. But I do get a lot of cysts (they are quite painful). And I have been irregular my entire life.... Well since I hit puberty. I had my first TOM at 11 and then nothing until I was 13. I've even been put on birth control to regulate me. As an adult, I tend to enjoy the months I don't have one, only to regret it when comes back because it comes back with avengance.

I'm better after working out. I still feel really big today. May just be bloating. But after my shower I decided to re weigh. Mind you, this was after lunch and working out. I wasn't expecting much. Plus my hair was wet. But my scale said 198.8 three times in a row. I swear, I hate my scale!! It's supposed to be very accurate, but it always weighs in 2-3 lbs heavier than every other scale. Even the one at the gym. But Melissa won't let me buy another one right now because I just bought this one 3 months ago!

We got estimates for the truck and found a place we really like!! So, hopefully our truck will be fixed soon!!

Thanks you guys, for all the support today!! :)
 
Oh my, I had a frustrating morning with my scale too. I have no clue what’s up with it. I’m going to re-weigh myself shortly just to see what number(s) it throws at me until I get to 3 identical numbers.

And, I know how frustrating the scale thing can be. I’ve been hovering at over 200lb for several months now. I’ve yet to get below it. Granted, there were definitely times where I did not deserve to be below it, but to get so close and not get there is frustrating. As Belinda pointed out it could be a number of things on why you were 200 this morning. Try not to let it get you down. Just keep doing what you’re doing. You’ll be just fine. ?


I'm glad you're feeling better after you workout. That really does seem to do wonders to morale when you're feeling down. :)
 
Okay, todays weigh in was 198.6. I really think the 200 yesterday was my scale being stupid. Either way... I'm almost back to where I was... 198.0.... Then I will go from there! :)
I'm sore from my interval workout yesterday. Who knew that 10 minutes could make you so sore! And there are places I'm sore that I didn't know I would be. My interval workout yesterday was jumping jacks. I figured my arms and legs would be sore. But so is my stomach and sides. I wasn't aware that jumping jacks worked your abs and sides and all that. Lol

Oh well... Im happy! And I'm ready to get to the gym this afternoon and see if I can make it to 197 by the weekend! :)
 
If you guys see this before I figure it out.... I decided to try making a table on my diary... That way I can edit as many times as I need to figure it out! Lol :)

Yay, okay I figured it out.... As you can see above! Lol so that's my chart for offtober! :)
 
Well... I had a complete dumb moment today, that just might have messed me up for the day. It wasn't until 3:30 pm while I was at the gym, pedaling away on the bike, (and I started feeling faint) that I realized I haven't eaten anything today!!!

So, I still tried to workout. Even though I got a headache and started feeling weak. I did 20 minutes on the bike, then 20 minutes on the treadmill. At that point, I started feeling like I was going to pass out, so I stopped. I really hope that didn't mess me up too bad! :( I gotta start paying more attention!!
 
Can we all say... 197.2???? Cause that was my weigh in today!!! Woo-hoo!!
I did finally receive my lovely TOM. So I still feel bloated! Who knows, maybe I'm actually lower! :) either way, I'm happy today! :)
 
Good job! It always sucks to weigh in around TOM with all the water retention... Keep it up, br!na!
 
YAY! That's great!

I've done the whole no eating and realizing late in the day that I haven't eaten. Sometimes life gets in the way and you kind of just forget...but glad you didn't pass out at the gym!
 
197.0 today! Only .2 down, but its something. Especially since I didn't make it to the gym yesterday. This TOM is horrible and its made me very sick. I guess since its been on vacation for so long. So, I've spent a lot of time on the couch and in bed. I hope it doesn't put me too far behind. Hopefully by Monday I will be back on track! :)
 
Another day spent on the couch and in bed. Still not feeling good. I'm still watching what I eat and counting calories and all of that. Just not working out for a day or two. Hoping I feel better soon!
 
Okay, so my lack of exercise over the past few days set me back 1 lb. My weigh in for today was 198.0 It's my own fault, but I honestly was too sick to move. But today I'm feeling better and its time to get back on track.
Now, in the past, I've done really good with workouts and eating right, then I will get sick and be down for a few days, then I can't get motivated to start again. I usually end up going back to my old ways. But not this time!! I refuse to give up! I had my few days of laying on the couch being sick. Now its over and its time to work hard again!!! :)
 
That's the right attitude--stick with it. Losing weight is hard work, but effort has to be made. Everyone has their sick days, the key is like you said: getting back on track :)
