Everything you know is wrong.

It’s the truth. Everything you know is wrong. If you think diets don’t work, then you’re wrong. If you think exercise makes you hungry, then you’re wrong. If you think your diet is the perfect one for everybody, then you’re wrong. If you think hard exercise is the best way to lose weight, then you’re wrong. No matter what you think about diet and fitness, you’re wrong. There is always someone out there who does well on a wacky diet. There is always someone out there who reacts to exercise differently. We are such a diverse species that there is a way for everything to work and there is a way for everything to fail.

You need to find what works for you and keep doing it until it doesn’t work anymore and then start the process all over again.

The next time that you feel like you can’t follow your diet anymore, repeat to yourself, “Everything you know is wrong.” The next time you feel like you are going to stop your workout before it’s finished, repeat to yourself, “Everything you know is wrong.” Make it your mantra any time that little voice inside your head is telling you that you cannot do something and you’ll find out all the different ways you have been wrong your entire life.

discouraged.

I am becoming very discouraged.

I mean really really really discouraged.

I'm sick of hearing or seeing people lose weight when they are not working as hard as I am, or not doing a damn thing at all! & here I am not losing an ounce!

I'm not gonna let it get the best of me,

but I had to put it out there.

This is exactly why I feel like I would benefit from WW meetings.

But I still have been unsuccessful at convincing the hubbs.

Walking

Well, we walked 5 miles Friday night.
& it wasn't nearly as hard as I imagined it would be.
Nor did my legs hurt the next day. whew!

That was a total of 10 miles last week!
But did I lose any weight?
Nope, of course not!

I had my appt w/the fat doc on Friday.
I also went ahead and got my shot so I could be back on Fridays.
He gave me lots of good tips. Especially about carbs and protein.

He also told me to take Fish Oil and Vitamin E. ugh

This is week 4.
If I don't lose any this week things are gonna get intense!

Still!?

2 weeks and 4 shots later,
& I'm still stuck at 185! ugh
Talk about heartbreaking!

I know that I didn't work out that much the first week or this last for that matter but I dang sure know I haven't been eating like I used to! And a little exercise is much more than I used to get!

It would have been nice just to see 1 pound gone at least!

Sooo proud!

I am sooo proud of myself!

I walked 3 miles with Marianne last night.
Granted, that might be nothing to some of you but that is a lot for me!

& let me tell you, it is not an easy, flat trek.
The last part is straight up hill, and it is tough!

The second time I thought I was going to die but by the 3rd I guess my legs went numb and I pushed on through easily.

We're gonna try and do 5 miles Friday!

On another note, I'm considering joining Gold's Gym.
I really have no excuse now that my hubbs work schedule is weird.
I'd have plenty of time to go...

Yesterday...

I was down 2 lbs according to the fat doctor.
BUT, I don't go by their scale so oh well.

I told them that I was miserable and starving all last week and they think it may have been the extra B12 I got. But it also could have been the stress I was under, and my cycle making an appearance.

Anyway, I did not get B12 yesterday. I did get 2 shots, but it was extra lipo. Hopefully it'll work this time. If not, I'm gonna have to get some pills next week. The girl that did it about killed me. Like to the point I am nervous of going back! Her hand was heavy as hell! And I've never had someone hurt me so bad while they were taking blood. I was pissed by the time I left. I'm considering telling Mrs. Vickie that I only want her to do it even if I have to wait all day or that I'm gonna have to start taking the shots home for Kevin to do. Seriously, it hurt that bad. I don't want to be afraid to go every week...

I have to go back on Friday to see the doctor. Even though I've seen him twice in the past 2 years...

I think I'm having a protein problem.
I'm gonna spend all day trying to find foods with 15 grams of protein. Wish me luck!

Last night was my first night walking with Marianne.
Thanks the heavens I am not miserable today. My thighs are a little tender but it's a good burn. Reminding me not to eat junk because I worked my ass of last night. haha

We did 2 miles.
Hoping for 3 on Wednesday.
Maybe we can get up to 5 next week...

185, still.

I didn't weigh on Friday.
I knew I hadn't lost any.
I actually felt like I had gained.

& I didn't get to go to the fat doctor because I had to take an emergency trip to Jacksonville. But, I'm going today. I don't want to be on Mondays but oh well, I don't want to wait until Friday to get another shot.

When I go today I'm going to make them explain every single shot to me.

I know for a fact I will not get what I did last time. It made me extremely hungry. Like, ridiculously hungry! Not cool, at all.

I didn't want to get on the scale this morning, but I did.
It said 185. ugh!

I did really good with food last week.
Super proud of myself!

& this week I'm going to start walking with Marianne.
Monday, Wednesday & Friday.

The rest of the week I will do the elliptical.
Here's to hoping we get enough back in taxes that I can get a treadmill...
