3 Months update

Feb 07, 2009

So I hit my 3 month on 02/03/2009 and woke up to 199.6 on the scale... what a great day.  Still at 199.8 so I have hit a bit of a wall.  I will not worry cause I know this too shall pass.  I am hoping to lose down to 195.00 by 02/23/2009 when I go see my huband Keith in Mississippi.  I am comfortably wearing size 16 jeans, size 8 shoe (yes gone down 1/2 a size) and a 14/16 top and even some size large tee shirts.  

I work out at the gym 1 - 3 times a week.  I do a 16 min mile by alternating walking and jogging.  Then I do crunches, some yoga stretches, leg lifts, jumping jacks and even jump rope some.  Then I move to the "Total Body Workout" which is a lot like curves but you use weighted machines and instead of walking in place you do stationary bike, or Arc Trainer (kind of like elipitical).  I have beendoing this for just over a month and can see a huge difference in my energy level, and the time getting longer that I can work out before giving up.  I am also making sure I will not burn myself out on it either or push my self too hard that it sucks and is no longer ...fun... for lack of a better word.

I have met some very friendly women at the gym and have shared my story... even though I see myself as being a plus size woman, it is odd for me to hear them say, WOW you look great!!!

Emotional Moment:  Even though I saw 199 on my digital scale at home, at the gym yesterday on the "SLIDE SCALE" it was a moment I will never forget that I put in on the 200 lbs then had to move it down to the 150 lbs then move the smaller one... I have NEVER seen that as an adult...such an amazing moment.
