kmartdollie's Journal, 04 October 2012

Every muscle in my body hurts from the strength training class I took yesterday. I suppose this is a good thing. I am going to go to the gym and run tomorrow. I have to register for my 5K pretty soon. I can't believe it's coming up. I can't believe I am actually going to do it. They don't have tee shirts for this thing so I have to figure out what I am going to wear. I love working out now. I love my gym, I love running, I like doing abs, and I am loving the challenge of doing these classes. If you want to see something funny, just watch me trying to take a step class. I cannot follow choreography worth a damn and it's hilarious. I am doing better in these combination classes, where it's a little bit of cardio and then work with bands, dumbbells and body bars. I can't believe I can keep up with these classes and not get winded and pretty much follow along with stuff. There are some things I still cannot do well, but I intend to keep trying. I am definitely getting smaller because today I am wearing a size 10 pair of pants that I could barely get zipped a month ago. It's just still frustrating to see the scale not move. I never thought I could be in this big of a plateau, going on for this long. I have screwed up with food a few days if you look at my diet calendar, but nothing I feel would really set me back this far over this long of a time. I am exercising my rear off, and I am doing pretty well overall with the food. I'm not panicky, but I am frustrated.

Awesome work with the exercise - BTW, I did not lose 12 pounds in one month (my buddy CJT was incorrect) but I did lose about 12 pounds in two months - so about 1.5 pounds a week. BUT, I digress. YOU are getting smaller and building muscle tissue - which does weigh more than fat tissue! But we lose inches. Size 10 is crazy good! I am just trying to get in those damned size 16 pants! Looking smaller and feeling fit really is the goal - and you want to be in a place that is something you can maintain - and as I said before, you may not be eating enough calories! It is counterintuitive - maybe eat 1500 calories for a week and see if your body decides to release some fat when it realizes you have more than enough fuel for the exercise. The body needs plenty of protein to maintain the muscles yuo are creating! rOCK ON with the 5K, too! So cool....
