Getting back to my glory days

Hello Tob!

Tally, thanks for the encouragement. My day was pretty good. I hope yours was too.
 
So this morning was my first weigh in and I didn't lose a thing! I am still 220lbs. I was very disappointed and discouraged because I feel like I've been working really hard. I am not sure what went wrong unless it's because it's that TOM for me. Either way I have this horrible feeling inside. I'm not going to give up. I am still going to do my workout today but I'm not looking forward to it as much as I usually do. I have the deil on my shoulder asking "What's the point?!"
Uggh
 
Despite my lack of motivation due to my weigh in this morning I still managed to workout anyway. I just put on some music and muted the volume on the dvd in hopes that it would make it more fun and it kinda worked. I started with high energy and made it all the way through. 2 days down of my challenge and 28 to go.

I know it definitely gets hard at times but if we don't keep going then we know it sure won't improve in the future :) After all I sat around and was sad about gaining weight but it didn't improve so action now means happiness later! ugh the first month is filled with self doubt but YOU CAN DO IT!! :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

I don't know anyone who is the smaller sort that doesn't work out frequently so remember it isn't getting the pounds off its getting into a good life habit!

Also good job for working out today! Another day invested so you can reap the benefits later :)
 
good effort getting in your workout despite the disappointing feeling of not loosing. Well Done
 
Thanks for all the support guys. I really needed it today.
You're right about the good life habit. I need to remember that and keep going!
 
When I woke up this morning my body ached a little all over but I got up drank some coffee, had breakfast and decided to get my workout for the day done early so I wouldn't sit around all day and eventually talk my way out of doing it. And I am glad I did because I feel great having it already accomplished. Now I don't have to sit around thinking about it for the rest of the day. Yay me! :)
 
So the past few days I didn't do so well on the eating. Besides eating some healthy things I also ate the following:
Wunderbar
3 Chocolate hearts
Bowl of Ice Cream
A small block of seasoned cheese
A few peanut butter sandwiches too many
2 beers

Ughhh.... I hate that I did that.

Also... Sunday I missed my regular workout but I played Dance Dance Revolution for 2 hours and counted it as a workout. My legs sure felt it by night time.
Monday I did a workout but it was the Zumba step basics and the the 20 minute express workout which I wasn't too impressed with. I enjoyed some of the steps but I did't like it was broken up into songs and I didn't feel I good burn like I do with Jillian's workouts.
Today I went back to the BFBM Jillian video and felt I had a good workout.

The thing is, I feel like I ate to much junk for those workouts to have really done anything. I feel as tho for the next few days I am going to have to workout twice a day. My plan is to keep doing the hour long videos but I am also going to go to the gym and do a run on the treadmill. If I do this tomorrow and Thursday hopefully it will aid with my Friday morning weigh in.

Well I woke up really sore today and I don't have much food in the fridge and I am broke.
I hope this day turns out better than it seems it's going to be.

Bec your body will adjust to the workouts and you won't be as sore the following day eventually, but immediately after your warm-down and stretch at the end of your workout have a contrast shower (hot 1 minute, cold 1 minute - repeated 2-4 times) this helps clear the waste products out of your muscles and reduced the soreness for the following day. High level athletes will use an ice plunge bath for this but the contrast shower is more pleasant :D

It's okay if you ended up gaining a bit but if you did you will gain less then what you would have gained if you hadn't worked out :) Just forge ahead and do better next time. Trying to bring about a new habit is hard work! Plus for days where I plan to eat more then I should I just try to limit it to 4 days doing well and 3 days possibly having a little more then I should. It always seemed to work.. it's just when I went over like 9 months that I gained the most weight

Hope you find some food! Good job on working out though! Sore usually mean you did awesome :)
