Woo Hoo

370

I lost another 4.4 pounds. I was bad and got weighed on Saturday at a WW meeting instead of waiting until today my usual weigh in day. On Saturday I weighed 372.2. But I am going to stick to my Monday morning weigh-ins. I bought a new scale on Sunday with YM. I had taken my old scale to work for the Walking Club but my lovely students broke it within a few days. I like this new one, its digital. I really need to work on not being obsessed with weighing in every day. It's a lot of fun and very supportive to have YM to work and talk out with. She has been an amazing rock. JB and SC have also been great supporters. I worked out with JB on Friday night. It was fun because I was telling her about my great adventures as a Chubby Go Lucky she was surprised all the BS I have to deal with. The topic came up because two stupid people said the typical FAT comments to me at 24 hour fitness. 1. The trainer showing us around the gym asked if I was Samoan or Hawiian. I'm sure a loads of Chubby Mexicans get this or anyone Fat and Brown. I said "nope, Mexican. My friend over there grew up in Hawaii", pointing to JB on the elliptical machine. 2. At the steam room, I got a mouth fulls of free advice from a man with a big pot belly himself. He blurted out every few minutes random bits "Only do swimming. Don't do elliptical..you don't want to have a heart attack. Have you talked to your doctor. Take it easy. You should be careful, people with high blood pressure should not be in here." I said, "I don't she does though" pointing to JB next to me.  I finally poked JB for us to take off. On our way home JB told me I should right about this stuff. I told her I have. Blogging has been another great support and outlet. So thanks blog. :) Until next time.

Get Fit Elvia!

374.4

Last night I spent it waking up every half hour worried that I slept in and did not make my 6:15am Bootcamp class. Alas it was 5:45am and I got my body up and rushed to the park where fit and chubbies got their asses kicked. I was worried if my body was able to handle what ever was tossed to me, but it was a good class. Everyone was supportive, including the gang at my WW meeting a half an hour later. 

I was really aiming for a high weight loss since I flatlined last week. I should be happy that I lost another 1.6 pounds off this body but it still irked me a bit....well a lot. I know that it will happen slowly but surely but I would have hoped with all the extra on top of extra activity would have shown on that damn flat square.

I'm meeting my sis tonight to work out as we have planned to do every night this week. I am also going to change up my diet by eating 6 smaller meals instead of 3 big ones. I have been sticking to my WW points (ok except for one day) but even than I only used half my extra 35 I get for the week. 

So I did some research last night at the bookstore and since I'm pre-diabetic anyway, I'm going to start eating like one. WW is great but I think I need something more detailed and specific to me. I really love livestrong.com it has a lot more tools to help you see your intake of food and your outtake of calories, by tracking all of my exercising. 

There are two other things that could have stunted my weight loss: 1. I waited too long between meals sometimes. 2. Some days I don't think I ate enough. With all the exercising and activities I have been doing I think my body held on to gordura instead of burning it. So here goes nothing. I'm not jumping ship. I was successful before and back than I did not have perfect weeks. I just need to continue to push through and see what works for me. 

Daily Affirmation: You kicked ass in class and did not complain. Keep up the good work.
