smartin585's Journal, 06 August 2010

Well I know I never get on here much, my mother has been ill for awhile and it is coming to a head now...so I've been spending as much time with her as possible. I do get to the gym 3x a week and manage to ride my bike the other 2 days. So I have been keeping up with my exercising 5 days a week. Weight still isn't really coming off...the scale is just stuck in the 190s ranging from 190-192...bumming me out a bit cause I"m working so hard. MWF I do weights and run 3 miles on the treadmill....8 min abs every night, and then I ride my bike a few miles on the other days. I am very active. My diet is still around 1300-1500 calories a day, which is what it should be. I haven't even been having a cheat meal or drinking alcohol. So I am assuming I'm retaining water in my muscles from lifting....grrrrrrrrrrrr....I mean I want to be tone as well is thin (well thinner), but the scale is so frustrating. I know it is just a number, but....grrrrrrrrr I really wanted to be down to 185 by Aug 14, but who knows.
