I was going to post this in my before and after's thread, but figured this was a more appropriate place to go!
Ok, I have decided to only weigh myself once per day in the morning in the buff. Different clothing weighs differently, so the only logical way for it to be consistant is with no clothing. So with that said, I am actually 148.5 pounds! That makes me even happier because my weight is always consistant in the morning anyway before I eat, drink, and workout. I don't think I have mentioned it before, but I am about 5' 2.5" tall and have been in a size 12 jeans since high school! Even when I went down to 132 my senior year of high school and to a size 8/9 jean, I somehow still fit in my size 12 jeans too...I think it is the number I am doomed to be forever sometimes! My first goal is to be 140 and hopefully down a full jean size (my 12's are feeling a little more roomy!).
I do think I need to buy a new scale though. I have my own which is the old fashion kind with the little red needle and spinning panel on the inside when you step on. I didn't spend much on it and set on 0 it never was accurate. We hads to set it on 10 lbs. for it to be more accurate. I am staying with my mom and she has a lower end digital scale that is atleast 5 years old. Water has spilled on it and her floor is uneven, so in different areas of the bathroom, the weight can vary by a couple of pounds. By the sink, it read as 146.5, but then in two other spots on the floor, it read 148.5. I am going by the higher weight because I got that reading more.
On another positive note, I got out my old size 9 jeans that I haven't worn in 4.5 years, they only like about 2 inches to button! This time I didn't have to jump up and down to squeeze them over my bum, so that is a good sign! I've been working out everyday alternating two videos. They are both Denise Austin (yeah, she can be overly peppy, but atleast it is something to follow!). One is the Fat Burning Dance Mix and the other is the Boot Camp Total Body Blast. When I want to give the stregth training a rest I go to the dance video so I am atleast getting the cardio for 55 minutes, ususally for 2 days. Then I do the boot camp video for 3 days....that one really makes me sweat and I can feel all kinds of different muscles being engaged while getting the cardio. So I have finally learned that a good cardio workout is THE key to burning off the weight...something that didn't happen when I'd turn on the radio and act a fool with my kids...lol....and then do tons of crunches and curls.....just not enough steady cardio. Anyhoo, I'll stop rambling on now...just thought I'd share!
