Plateau

Body stats beginning of Week 6:

·         200lbs. – again no loss. But now that I’m back into an exercise routine maybe we’ll see the change.

·         Waist: 34inches - that's another half inch!!

It seems I’ve hit a bit of a plateau on my weight-loss and it sure seems awfully early in the process for that to be happening… but I’m pretty sure it’s more my laziness than it is an actual plateau. I’ve just got to keep up the regular exercise and really start pushing myself a little more. I’m sure it would also help a ton to start lifting weights again since I’ve completely pooped out on that for almost 3 weeks now.

Stats for Sat/Sun:

11/13:

·         Total calories: 1880 – probably my highest calorie count in a while. It was the wine. In large quantities.

·         Calories burned: 550 – I did my 3 miles today even without my mom and I even jogged about half of it! I’m really proud of myself. I felt amazing afterward!

·         I made it 4 days without smoking and then broke down and had a couple Saturday night at a friend’s party. Restart.

·         2:30am bedtime. EESH.

·         $0 spent

11/14:

·         Total calories: 1679

·         No workout – I’m a little disappointed in myself here because my mom totally called to ask if I wanted to walk in the afternoon and I opted out because I was EXHAUSTED from staying up too late the night before. Then Mike and I were gonna go before James got home from his dad’s but we opted to clean out the car for our upcoming trip instead and by then it was dark and James was gonna be home any minute. I’m sure cleaning out the car burned SOME calories, at least that’s what I’m telling myself. Lol

·         Didn’t smoke – day 1

·         12am bedtime – then proceeded to have zombie nightmares all night. Damn Walking Dead…

·         $5 spent on starbucks

So I’m excited to do my walk this afternoon – I even packed a bag of workout stuff this morning and brought it to work so I don’t have to waste any time! I’m going to try to jog some of it again today too. I have to be careful about jogging though because I get shin-splints really easily and they’re incredibly painful. If I get them that will set me back a LOT I know, so I really have to watch it.

The hubby came home from his “guys night” with fever last night. He’s definitely caught whatever virus James brought home from school last week. I’ll be pumping myself full of water and vitamin C this week (and exercise!!) in an effort to avoid contracting the virus just in time for us to leave for our trip. This, unfortunately, also ruins our plans of taking a half-day of work Friday to get on the road at a decent time. *sigh* Yay for driving until 2am!!
