The Year of The Kat: 2/27/11

Stuck On A Plateau

It was my goal last week to get myself under 260 by today. It didn't happen. I am still at 262, only 2 lousy lbs. My favorite pair of snug jeans I just washed and they are NOT snug anymore, they are loose. I may out shrink them in the next couple weeks. I have other jeans I can wear when that happens.

I worked out on Monday and had a great workout. I ended up hurting my foot and have rested it for 2 days now. I am back to the gym tomorrow.

I am working on getting under 260 by Sunday's weigh in and measurement taking.

Back To The Gym Today

Okay, I made it to the gym today! Woohoo!

I burned almost 600 calories in 50 minutes, I am getting better. I can go longer and at a higher intensity on the elliptical. I am stepping up my workouts, now, so I get the most out of them.

Tomorrow, I do my legs and abs weight workout.

I am still cooling down from my workout. My face is bright red and I am soaked with sweat. Hungry, time to make an eggbeaters omelet with spinach.

5th Week Progress

So, my progress for this week has been pretty good. I think I am finally getting past the cold I have had for 2 weeks, now. Here are my pictures, the first one is the day I started on this new eating plan and exercising, and the one next to it is today, 5 weeks later:

This is where I know things can get discouraging. What's funny though is that I completely forgot that yesterday was my cheat day until I was about to be going to bed! I found that very interesting. That means that I was not looking forward to my cheat day. My food addiction is basically gone! Woohoo!

My stats from last week on Feb. 20:

neck: 14 3/4"

upper arm: 14 3/4"

chest: 44 3/4"

waist: 36"

hips: 53"

thigh: 33 1/4"

calf: 19"

Today, Feb. 27:

neck: 14 3/4" (no change)

upper arm: 14 3/4" (no change)

chest: 44" (down 3/4")

waist: 36" (no change)

hips: 53" (no change)

thigh: 33" (down 3/4")

calf: 18 3/4" (down 1/4")

So, I also weighed 262 lbs., which is also 3 1/2 lb. drop this week!

I'm back to the gym tomorrow, I may work out on a different machine, something like a mix between the elliptical and the stairmaster. I still need low to no-impact because my foot still gives me pain.

I am still working to get under 260 by wednesday, we will see how my body acts.
