FitOKay's Journal, 06 July 2014

Bought sz6 thrift jeans, tight but button/zip. With finances been taking in my skirts & shorts by hand. Jeans are harder (insert take forever). Part of me is like, "wow, look how much I've lost, look how many inches I'm taking off this." Or, "Hey, I can zip up size 6 jeans!" Then I see pictures of my overweight 5'3" sz8 next to my 5'10" sister in law and it brings me back to earth a bit =p. Progress though =)

I took the bike resistance up to 7. I started biking on the first resistance late february and found as long as my heart rate is below 125 my lungs behave, mostly. I raise the resistance whenever my heart rate starts to stay too close to 110 (increasing speed isn't an option to raise heart rate, found that out the hard way). That's been increasing a little more often then once a month (ie started 1st late feb but increased to 6th this week. The highest resistance setting is 16, so I thought it might be neat to try and cap that out by around new years. Which requires increasing resistance twice a month. Of course I'm me so thought, "what about trying 7th now?"

I'm about 35 minutes in and my heart rate is at 145... which is probably a little elevated because I've taken my inhalor several times o.0 So that's fun, but so far I'm not doing awful with it. I mean, my lungs definitly hate me for this, but they haven't moved to homocide yet so we're good. May toggle between the two settings every other day or something, then do the same hereafter as I go up in speeds. I hope to be at maintenance by my bday (feb 5th) so it would be nice to have the resistance maxed out that last month in January and move into maintenance both on the bike and weight at the same time =)

Anywho, happy Sunday everyone, how are you all doing?

Homicidal lungs...bad. Please 5'3" and size 8. You're doing great! Just think of all the things you can walk under that your 5'10" sister in law would have to duck down to go under.

Some serious resistance on the bike.

Be proud of your accomplishments, we always tend to see ourselves through "fat" eyes. You have got to let your mind catch up with your weight loss. Start thinking affirmative things about yourself. You did a fantastic job at losing the weight, now appreciate your own hard work. Keep up the good work.
