Weight Woes

We just finished this season and yet in just a couple of weeks we’ll start a new season. I was a little disappointed because it will be a regular season of voting people out. I was looking forward to the couples and families that they did between season 2 and 3 that they didn’t play the “game” they just did challenges and learned how to change their lives.

Don’t get me wrong it was a competition to see which family or couple could lose the most. But it was a single episode for us to watch and it was just who lost the most won.

I am looking forward to it starting again though as I have a client that this really ads motivation for.

If any execs just happen across this blog, please think about switching biggest loser to it actually being the biggest loser. No more voting and drama crap. The person that loses the least amount each week goes home! Then it will truly be the biggest loser at the end.

Oh boy, it finally dawned on me how much I’ve been comparing myself to others.  No wonder why I’m depressed about my body.  I will never be the 10% body fat girl.  Nor do I want to be!  So why do I feel so darn fat when I’m around my workout buddy?  Do I not kick her butt and make her work super hard?  Do I not keep up with her on the cardio?

Yes, I do need to lose quit a few pounds.  But I am not committed to eating right.  So that is just not going to happen is it?  DUH!  When the time comes and I confront my poor eating and actually move to do something about it, then it will be the right time.  I am tempted to make it a New Year’s resolution, even though I hate resolutions.

I do look good.  I have a lot of muscle on.  My legs are stellar looking.  Yes, there is extra fat on too many areas.  If 20 pounds came off I’d be in
heaven.  But obviously that is not going to happen at this point in time.  I will keep on working out hard and impressing myself with how hard I can hit
it.  I will focus on adding more vegetables back in.  I can’t believe how much those have fallen out of many meals.  Dinner we rarely go without a veggie or salad, but the rest of the meals are lacking.  Oh and my sporadic eating is not good either.  I need to set up some kind of schedule in Jan.

I have to focus on how good I do look, not all the areas I don’t like.

I’ve rocked the workouts this week.  It’s finally friday and I’ve jogged 3 days.  Hubby and I are going to go jog outside in a few hours, he had too much breakfast and can’t do cardio yet.  lol  But alas, I’ve burned about 1800 calories on cardio machines in 4 days and I’m up to 181.5 again.  My food has to be out of control.  So it’s back to fitday.com and documenting everything.  I’ve got to, I’m working way too hard not to be losing.  I’m going to end up getting frustrated really soon and then not doing my cardio again.  That’s just not good.  So I’ll document my food and put it in the fitday site.  They have a version I can buy to keep on my computer and I just may purchase that the first of the year.  At first I couldn’t see why I would want to since the site has free accounts.  But it’s for the times like right now when I don’t have internet.  I could be loading it in there right now while I sit here writing programs at the gym.

I did a good leg workout today and my hips hurt.  My butt was killing me earlier, but I’m sure it will be worse tomorrow.  lol  I only got 100 calories on the bike, that sucks.  I’m going back to the gym tomorrow so I will hit some hard cardio.  I don’t plan on doing weights.  Just cardio and abs.

Well I woke up this morning to no internet yet again.  It’s day 3 and I’m going to lose my mind and I’m missing out on business.  Here I sit blogging old school like Doogie Houser.  lol  Just on my computer until I can copy and paste it into my blog.  I feel so cut off from the world.

Anyway, I’m just having a rough week and the lack of internet is not helping.  I’m stressing about a lot of things and I’m feeling hungry because of it.  I wish I had gone to bed earlier last night so I wouldn’t have had that last snack.  I’m tired of the emotional eating and I’m tired of the emotional roller coaster I’ve been riding on this year.

I will stay at the gym longer than normal today so I’m away from food.  I have my snacks packed already.  Then I’ll just walk here and there, and do some shoulders today I think.  Abs are in order as well.  After my last appointment I’ll hit the cardio hard before coming home.  I’m just not in the mood to move off the couch.  I’m very glad that I have appointments so I have to go.  lol

PS.  I did a killer jogging workout with a client tonight.  Burned 600 calories for the day.  100 over my goal.

Well biggest loser night means pizza around here. I swear it honestly does. It just happens that way. lol Tuesdays used to be taco’s, hmm, I need to get that habit back in. That was a much better choice than the pizza and it’s easy. BAHAHAHAHA, their jobs today as they transition into going back home are at a pizza parlor. Man I have super guilt now. lolol Oh man, the guilt!

So today I burned 431 calories jogging and also did the elliptical for 10 more minutes earlier in the afternoon. So I did my 500+ calories burnt. WOOHOO! Then I had sushi today and it was quit healthy, nothing was deep fried. Big step, it’s difficult to decipher what some of the stuff is until after you’ve had it. Course I had two rolls, so that is besides the point.

I walked a little bit and I was on the elliptical for about 10 min.  Not a real big deal, but I still moved.  My arm still hurts like hell, but I tested
it out by doing some chest machines.  It doesn’t hurt worse than normal today, it did last night though.  So I’ll slowly get my weights back in.  I’ll just stick to machines for a while on upper body and no arm specific workouts.

My eating is off today (Tues.) but I’m going to have sushi for lunch.  That will be my big meal of the day and then a salad tonight.  Yesterdays eating wasn’t very good.  I only ate twice, so of course my dinner was larger than it should have been.  I packed some more protein bars in my stuff so I have them when they are needed.

Today I will be at the gym all evening and will make sure and get a ton of cardio in.  I ran a ton on Sat. and my hip is not feeling well.  I need to just work through it and keep stretching.  It’s just not used to being so tight anymore and it’s pulling on the nerve.  So not cool!

Well I moved for over 150 calories 6 out of 7 days this week.  The 150 was only one day.  The other days were 300+ with yesterday being 507 calories burnt.  I closed out the week having burned an extra 2,200+ calories for the week.  Pretty darn good, I’m proud of myself.  Oh and the weight over the holidays?  I maintained.  But then this week I was down to 178.5.  Progress is there and that felt awesome.

My portions are back in control.  It’s so all about the portions.  I can eat just about anything as long as I keep the size down.  I haven’t been doing my late night eating either.  I guess it helps that I have to be in bed by 10 on most nights for early morning appointments.  Tonight was the first night I’ve had cheese and crackers in weeks.  I didn’t even enjoy them that much, I just needed a snack and that was about all there is.

My only worry about the weight loss is that I’m losing muscle.  I can’t lift right now because I hurt my arm.  It’s been two weeks since I’ve lifted and I know that I’ve lost muscle.  Next week I will at least hit my legs and see what I can do for upper body.  Maybe I can hit a few machines at least.  So I don’t have a lot of options for the muscle loss, I will just keep up with the cardio and do what I can.
