246.9
I didn't even see 247. Let's see how long that lasts. Today is Sunday and my day off of working out, mainly b/c the gym is closed. It is always hard to stop and start the routine but I know that it is so good for my body to rest!!

Well daily I'm losing. Today I went in and did weights but it was too hard to do cardio. I need to figure out my body and how to it ease it into this new life style.

250.1
Today I had a good workout. But could only do 20min on the treadmill. My shins were killing me. Then I spent 15min on the elliptical. I felt good when I was done, but would like my legs to feel better. I guess it is because my body is in shock that I'm attempting to run/walk more than a few steps.I love working out 1st thing in the morning, I feel so good during the day!!

251.4
So I went to the Dr. on Friday and they upped my thyroid med again. The Dr. said that weight loss will be hard until I get my thyroid under control. To think that the main reason I gained weight was b/c my thyroid wasn't working right. And that for 25years I had been struggling with a hidden problem.
But after saying that I'm really excited to keep exercising and reaching those goals b/c then I think the rest will happen!

To weigh or not to weigh that is the question? So I have heard mixed reviews some say "oh no only weigh your self once a week so that if you are disappointed then it only happens once" other say, "Everyday, everyday weigh yourself everyday!".
My verdict weigh yourself everyday and here are my reasons why.
1. Waiting for a weekly weigh in can really send you in a tail spin when you have gained a few pounds and you may be more apt to gain more b/c of a bad response.
2. By weighing in every day you can put a pulse on what may have made you gain over a day, what you ate, your level of exercise...etc.
3. I also think that it is a everyday battle and by seeing results everyday, good or bad, you can start fresh daily.
Knowing your body is super important and that is something that I have avoided for 30 years. God did make us, but we didn't come with a manual to read about how we perfectly work. That is up to us to figure out, we have to all know what works for us.
THERE REALLY ISN'T A MAGIC LITTLE PILL!!!

internal dialogue
Lately I have found myself having this internal dialogue all day long. I will name the players so you can understand.
1. Lazy me
2. Healthy me
3. Just plain old me
Here is the scenario:
I've gotten up at 5:45 to get to the gym to workout. I finally get on the tread mill and start chugging along. Just plain old me thinks: Oh this is good I can do this, good job! After about 5min. Lazy me thinks (in a loud booming voice ): I'll never be able to run, I'll never accomplish anything, I should just quit now! As I get down and feel like I can't do it I hear this squeaky little voice trying to scream(healthy me): You can do it, it is not that hard, just push yourself harder.
This happens at least 8 times in a 30min workout!!
How about you? do you struggle with an ugly internal voice too?

I ran/walked a 5K on Saturday on 47min. It was so great, my body felt like a furnace for the next day. But I'm not getting the weight loss results that I really want. But I have to remind myself that it has only been a month, I think I need to measure myself b/c that is what is changing a lot. I have been consist in the gym but have just decided that instead of 3 days cardio I need to be doing 6 days. 5 days at 30min and 1 day a 5k. Then I'm going to split me weights into 6 days, 3 upper and 3 lower. That way I'm not spending forever in the gym but I am getting my cardio which is what I need for weight loss.
I get into places where I compare my body to other bodies. But I need to remember that I am a different creation than them, and God made me different. I unlike other people process food different, crave different things and have a totally different internal dialogue. As long as I teat my body like the temple that God intended it to be I know that He will bless me with what He wants me to look like. On the same note I know that He will also put me though whatever I need to go through to get there. There are no trials and tribulations that I can not handle as long as He is by my side.
That being said I'm finally going to take this blog public. I am no longer ashamed at the fact that I was 255lbs. because that was the lazy me. And I hope that I don't see the lazy me again for a while.
