So I’m
feeling better today than I have been, and that’s a good thing! Although I am still not getting really good
sleep, and my sleep timing is all off, I feel like I’m making progress.
I finally hooked
up the Wii today, and used it for about 40 minutes (30 minutes of actual
exercising), and while it didn’t get my heart rate up too much (highest was at
120bpm), I did get a good sweat going and I can feel the muscle burn in my arms
and abs. I did the hula hooping, the
boxing, and a short step routine.
According to the Wii, I burned about 171 calories, but my fitbit seemed
to record most of the movement so I’ll go off what that tells me later today.
I’m also
down in my weight again, which is totally awesome!! I thought I was going to spend some serious
time at 205…I just had that feeling that it was going to be a tough
hurdle. I’m not completely convinced I
won’t rebound a little, but I was glad to see that my weight is my lowest
weight to date!
Obesity Boss
So last
Monday I weighed in at 207.2, here is what the breakdown for this boss looked
like for this past week:
7/15/13-207.2
(Start Fight!)
7/16/13-205.4
(Me: Stab)
7/17/13-205.4
(Boss: Stall Time)
7/18/13-204.4
(Me: Stab)
7/19/13-204.5
(Boss: Self-Heal)
7/20/13-205.5
(Boss: Self-Heal)
7/21/13-205.5
(Boss: Stall Time)
7/22/13-203.8
(Me: Stab)
As you can
see, I hovered a lot around 204-205…I really do hope I broke through that
barrier and will continue to lose after this.
As I keep seeing the number go down, I keep getting more and more
motivated to continue striving towards my goal.
My Dad told
me yesterday that he can see the weight loss in my face and neck, and I was
really happy about that! Especially
since I can’t tell yet, it’s nice to have that confirmation that others are
seeing the work I’m putting into myself.
After all, 17lbs is a lot of weight!

I did work
out on the elliptical for an hour. For
the first time, instead of just jumping on and using the average calorie
estimate, I plugged in my weight, and I have to say that the new estimate I got
was even more exaggerated! The
elliptical tells me I burned 737 calories, but my fitbit only adjusted 176, so
my NET calories for yesterday was 908-176=732
Last night
was hard…I was feeling very down about a lot of things, and all I really wanted
was brownies, cheesecake , and all things that are not on my diet plan. I had to white knuckle my way through it, and
it was very difficult. I’m lucky that I don’t
get cravings like this too much, and I know it will only get harder as I
continue to work towards my goal. I just
have to remember that if I make a mistake, to get right back on plan
afterwards.
