3

3 days in a row!
I am so proud of myself!

Though my back is sore.
Between my shoulder blades.
And I'm unsure what is causing that...

After swearing off narcotics I am eating my words.
I will be getting phentermine (Adipex) on Friday.
I know I said I wouldn't. yada yada yada
But when I have 3 friends being successful on it,
I have to give it a try to.
Though I can promise you that if it doesn't work for me that I will go completely mental. I will be updating this blog from a padded cell. I am serious. It is getting in my head deep. Which is scary, because it's never bothered me this much. blah

Big note:
I got on the sscale this morning.
It said 182!
BUT since today isn't weigh in day,
I'm not counting it...
Hopefully it will still say that, or lower, Friday morning!

2 in a Row!

I've done my BL dvd 2 days in a row now!
How exciting is that?!

I wasn't going to do it yesterday because I went walking with Marianne but I wanted to show it to her and we ended up doing it.

& I AM NOT SORE!
Woo Hoo!

Good News!

I can walk today!

I am only a little bit sore.

Whew!

That means I know my limits

and can work out the rest of the week!

Woo Hoo!

Again...

It's been a week since I worked out...
I was sore all the way unil Thursday from last Sunday's workout.

I went kinda easy w/it today.
Hopefully I will not be sore tomorrow.

Lunges

Lunges are NOT my friend.
Period.
I don't know how some people can be so obsessed with them!

Level 1 of the dvd I spoke about yesterday is full of lunges.
I thought I was ok until I couldn't get out of bed today.
And my legs are sore in places they have never been sore before.
But I kinda like it, makes me think my saddle bags are going away!

The Biggest Loser

I've been wanting to go to a Zumba class for some time now.
But I'm too afraid because I am well aware of my lack of coordination.

So, I bought The Biggest Loser Cardio Max dvd to see if I could keep up with.





















Um, I was sweating during the warmup!
But I did keep up with it and made it through the first workout.
Wether I will be able to move tomorrow is still unknown.

The big news is, I LOVE IT!
It was people my size and bigger doing it!
Not some skinny bitches.
It made me go "Ok, I CAN do this if SHE can!"

I'm going to try and do it every day,
but we shall see...

Metabolism Test

I had my metabolism tested yesterday.

First let me say it was not fun.
Very claustrophobic!

And it told me just what I though it would.
That mine is slow.
Only 5 points below normal, but still...

I counted calories all week and the test proved to me I was not eating enough. I am maintaining my weight. I need 1400 calories to lose. But the trick is to eat more often. I keep flatlining my metabolism by only eating breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Yes, I knew all this by word of mouth.
But my husband was not satisfied. He sees me busting my ass and doesn't understand what's going on. So, I needed something to show him in black in white if you know what I mean. (he's one of those that don't believe in eating 5-6 small meals a day)

Now that I know for sure that is what's causing my problem it's time to work harder. I've already downloaded the calorie counter app on my new BlackBerry so hopefully it will make everything easier.

I am going to start with a clean slate...
