Toni Bourlon's Journal, 06 May 2019

Back up to 153 *curses silently* SO FRUSTRATING!!! I can't seem to get below 149.5, I'll get down to that number & then the weight goes back up. What to do, what to do? Well I went to the gym yesterday - first time in a long while - and lifted some weights. Naturally, today I'm very sore! Another thing I can't seem to get going is a weight-lifting routine. I'll do it for a few weeks & then it just kind of disappears. But this summer will be different, I'm determined to become a gym rat. Yeah, my gym is farther from my new house, but I pay the monthly fee so I might as well go, right? I'm looking at a program called "Thinner Leaner Stronger for Women," but whether I stay with it or not is questionable. It talks about doing up to 9 sets - NINE SETS??? We'll see if I ever hit THAT number. Yesterday I did 3 sets of 10 reps of 6 exercises: squat, deadlift, bench & overhead press with 20 lb free weights, and seated rows & lat pulldowns on a machine with 40 lbs. My goal is to increase the weight by 10 lbs, and maybe do 5 sets by the end of the month. That means I'll need to go lift 2 -3 times a week, I think. Today I also took the waist & body fat %, which is 32.5" & 38.7%. Hopefully both will be improved by June. I didn't really do any ab work yesterday, I plan to get a little bit of that in today after another 30 minutes on the treadclimber. Yup, busy night!

153.0 lb Lost so far: 0 lb.    Still to go: 12.0 lb.    Diet followed poorly.
