I am going to have to just call this past week a bust and move on! Besides hurting my ankles and ruining my diet with the Memorial Day weekend fare, I only made it to the gym about 3 times instead of the 5-6 times that I would normally do. And to top it all off Charlie had a virus and was running a fever on Monday, so I wasn’t able to make it to the gym on that day, but I did go yesterday morning (Tues) to the gym and got a really good lower body workout! Also, my diet has been perfect this week though! I am still battling my ankles. I really don’t know what to do about them. I have been taking it easy on the cardio, but they still hurt! I have got to get over this so I can win the Biggest Loser contest! I REALLY want to win! Especially since the leader was posted and it was not ME! ;) There are still 5 more weeks left in the contest, so I still have a great opportunity to pull ahead (although I suspect that I am close to the top on the list)!
So, as far as goals go for this week, Instead of making a new goal, I am going to just try to go back to my old goal that I didn’t follow through on. I am going to go to the gym at least 5 times this week. And I am going to make my diet perfectly clean (so far so good). I have been perfect on my diet, but I have been calculating calories and I have been about 100-300 calories over what I would like it to be, so I am going to try to keep that down too. (Even though I have still been eating “CLEAN”!)
I will be posting some new pics next week for the results from week 4, though I don’t expect to see any changes since I haven’t been able to work out like I wanted to, but I will still do them! The only reason I would be afraid that I wouldn’t win this competition would be that the diet I am on is not geared at losing “weight”, but body fat and inches and gaining muscle. As a matter of fact, the book says to stay off of the scale because you probably wont see much change on it, but your clothes will fit better and you will be more tone. It actually says that my weight might actually fluctuate. I am worried about next weeks ‘mid-way’ weigh in since my weight IS fluctuating! Oh well. I will still LOOK like I lost weight. I am just such a slave to the scale, as I know most women are. We are so worried about that number, right? I wish I could overcome this!
I am starting to have people compliment me and ask if I have lost weight! That is encouraging me! Feels good when people notice! Also, I took my measurements yesterday, and I have lost a total of 9.5 inches! I am starting to see muscle definition in my legs and arms (especially when I work out!) and this is so exciting! We have our “official” mid-way weigh next week as mentioned above, so, I am excited to see how I have done on the “official” scales!
And finally, I have to announce that Lola has said her first words! I have been waving at her and saying ‘bye-bye’ just trying to get her to wave at me, and to my surprise, instead of waving, she actually said “bye-bye”! I thought it was a fluke, but she did it again and again, and then did it to my mom on the phone! She is so darn cute! She also shakes her head when you say “no-no”! Very adorable that girl! Here is a new pic of her and Charlie! Until next time….
