So I weighed myself and retook measurements and the results....are disappointing. I've put on 3 lbs since February and my measurements haven't really changed. And to top it off, we went on vacation last week and looking back at the pictures, I look terrible. Argh! I'm so frustrated with myself. In three months, with the changes I've been making, I really expected more. So I'm trying to regroup. My approach is probably to blame, the whole making life changes slowly so they stick isn't working. Mainly because I get it into my head "oh, it's ok I didn't do well this week, I'm taking it slow and it's going to be hard the first little while." 3 months is long enough to get into gear and I'm tired of hating the way I feel when I see myself in the mirror.
So ladies, I'm going to start making bigger changes and be more aggressive about my health. I could use any help you girls can offer too. Things like what you eat throughout the day and what kinds of exercises you do and how much. Or if you have a recommendation, that would be great too. :D
Here are some of my goals for the next two weeks:
*Run 3x/wk MWF
*Circuit training THS (includes weights)
*More fruits and veggies
*No eating out or junk food

I'm sorry Michelle. That's so annoying! Those sound like awesome goals though. I was going to do the same thing, actually. Since my gym pass is now up, I've been making adjustments to my workouts. How long do you workout for, and how long do you run? Have you tried switching up your workouts? I have kind of given myself the motto, that "If I don't feel it the next day, I need to step it up." There was a few months when I felt sore somewhere on my body every single day. I loved it! Try increasing your weights, or doing different types of cardio exercise.
Also, try to chew on a piece of gum when you feel like snacking. That helps me. I'm going to try to work this week on eating when I'm hungry...and not just for fun, or cause it sounds good. Good luck this week! Just stick to it. You'll see results!
I think you hit it on the nail Cami. I hadn't been fatiguing my muscles! Duh, I learned that in school. Muscles won't change if you don't exercise them to the point of fatiguing. :P Thanks for the reminder!
