So I'm a little upset. I've been doing harder workouts than usual, and I've been quite active. The problem is, I don't feel like I'm losing any body fat. In fact, I feel as if I have gained! Yes, I do think my legs are a bit more toned in some areas, but there is fat covering it! I am so frustrated, I don't know how to get rid of the fat. I thought consistent working out would decrease my body fat percentage, but it doesn't seem to be doing so :( And I don't feel any thinner.
On the plus side, I went to dinner with my family tonight. I usually don't eat Mexican food, but we went to the only place where I will eat it. I had fabulous grilled scallops, which were served with guacamole, cilantro dressing, and a tropical fruit salad which was made with papaya and mango. I didn't eat the black beans, though I did eat the rice. And when we got home, I had some decaf coffee and a little piece of the funfetti. However, I decided that would be my last taste of this batch!!
Hopefully the scale will budge a bit tomorrow... it jumps 3 pounds after I go out to eat! Though it usually comes off quickly, it has been particularly stubborn as of late.
My run this morning was awful; I think it was a combination of the humidity, heat, wind, shin splints, and I got awful stomach cramps. So I only did 28 minutes, 3.5 miles. I had to blow off my plan to do 4.4 miles and a few hills, which was really disappointing. But I want to get back at it tomorrow after work, even if it is a relatively short run. I'm sick of going 3ish days between runs! I think consistency will really help me, and I need to stop making excuses!
