I just got back from 30 min elliptical and then upper body weights. I'm off to kickball!

Well, grocery shopping ruined my plan. I went right after work, thinking I'd get it over with. Bad move. By the time I got home, I was starving, aggravated & had a slamming headache. So although I didn't pig out, I didn't work out either. I did do crunches. I plan to make up for it tonight. Going straight home for dinner, then I'll relaxe & do some things around the house, then work out during TV time.

I went to the gym this morning and Mexican Soap Opera lady wasn't there So I put on Some Little House on the Prairie (thank you Hallmark Channel) and did a 10 minute warm-up on the eliptical...then I did arms...and then I could barely shampoo my hair

It's been a long time since I've done full-out workouts - it feels good to be getting back into it---and today? I'm wearing pants that I could not wear even two weeks ago

That's not bad, it's only one day. Did you see my note above? Oh, and yesterday I bought some size 10 jeans. You know, instead of 12? I got some size 12 pants too, but they are loose. The 10's are tight, though. Hmm, I guess I wear an 11? Whatever, my new, cute, tight, size 10 jeans look slammin' on me.

^ Yay for smaller pants!

I did it. I did the planned workout during Grey's. Then I weighed myself this morning & I'm the same as I was last week. Dammit. I seemed to have hit a plateau pretty early, I still want to lose 9 more pounds.

^^

I'm totally getting discouraged - but luckily not enough to stop what I'm doing.

I'm losing soooo slowly. But I stepping it up at the gym...though today I can't move my arms lol. The good news is - I'm wearing yet another pair of pants today that I couldn't wear just two weeks ago...so I guess I'm doing something right.

^ I'm not quitting either, but I am annoyed. Don't get me wrong - I feel better, I feel thinner, I feel stronger. MY clothes fit better & the dreaded backfat is pretty much gone. But when I did WW last (anout 5 years ago) I dropped the weight much faster. Stupid metabolism.

I hear ya...I was in my teens when I last did WW though - so more active, younger etc - I dropped weight like crazy. And they told me at WW that since I'm not "obese" that the weight will come off much more slowly....

Well it sure is coming off slowly, and it's pissing me off. But I want to get rid of the back fat too - I hate it, it's depressing. Sigh - so I'll stick with it - keep eating right and well I do need to get better with the exercise - I'm workin' on that!

Same problem here. On the "Biggest Loser", they lose like 7-10 lbs a week! It blows my mind. The women are eatting 1200-1500 calories a day. I guess they excerise HARD!! ALL DAY!! Is that why?

Yes, that's why! I want to add more exercise too but it's always hard to find the energy and time. I usually just push myself because I feel so good when I'm done! Hehe. "Do I feel like going to the gym? No, but I'm going." Right now I just want to go to bed.

Don't forget that weight training really helps boost your metabolism so you burn more calories even at rest.
