Good Morning Botts!

Not a good day today. Im exhaused and hurt everywhere. Wondering when all this exercise is going to start paying off. I SEE the changes in my body. Thats nice. But everything hurts. The scale is up 3 pounds. I woke up at 2 am, fell asleep at 5 and got up at 5:20. I just want to throw myself on the ground and cry like a baby. I have the trainer again tonight. I really like her, but wish she would give me a few minutes to talk to her.

Eats for today:

Extra large coffee w/ cream
Greek yogurt w/ PB2 Fresh strawberries and Kashi Go Lean Crunch
Leftover chicken basil parmesan meatballs with onions and zucchini
Quest bar
Not sure whats for dinner...

 Mary have you taken your measurements lately?  I stopped losing weight in January.  I did see 155 lbs. over the weekend but I am back up to 157 lbs. this morning.  I am still eating the same items.  I have taken my measurements and I have lost about another 6 inches all over.  My size 12's are loose and my 10's just a tad tight except for my worn out 10's (they are comfy).  With all the exercise and strength training that you are doing, I just can't imagine that you are not dropping inches if not pounds.  Look for other NSV's besides the scale.  I know that is harder said than done but you are doing so well in your consistently, maybe you need to up your food intake.  Take care, and try to have a good day.

Im not opposed to taking measurements. I find that when I take my own, unless there is a couple inches difference, I dont see it. Its hard for me to track exactly where Im putting the tape or how much pressure to use. Wimpy answer?

I keep a tight eye on my clothes. I may notice a slight difference in one particular pair of jeans. They are more comfortable and dont squeeze up my muffin top so much! 

part of me wants to forget the scale, but thats hard to do at 230 (today) pounds.

Im thinking of getting a body fat analyzer. The Tanita kind that you hold out in front of you. If I could see some measureable difference it would help.

 Right now I am judging everything by a pair of white Gloria Vanderbilt size 10 jeans.  I try them on about every two weeks.  I can get them zipped and can now sit in them okay but I don't like the muffin top I get with them.  When the muffin is gone then I will be happy to sport these around town.

 I understand completely!  I saw 155 lbs. on Saturday and Sunday.  On Monday the scale said 156 lbs. This morning it said 157 lbs.  I gonna slap it silly if it saids 158 lbs. tomorrow.  Also, I get so sad when I hear people enjoying cucumbers.  They use to be my favorite raw veggie snack and my pouch absolutely will not let me have one bite of a small slice.  It revokes for hours afterwards.  So go enjoy your kirby cucumber and take a big bite for me!  And, show that three pounds who is BOSS!!!

I am taking a few days off from measuring and monitoring. Just got busy.  I ate a lot and pooped a lot... that seems to be the norm. Lots of fiber.  

Overall maintaining my  high protein - low carb eating ... more or less of fiber...

Glad to see you guys doing so well...

BTW Tess: my pouch loves cucumbers... but give it raw carrots - baby or normal carrots and I get issue for hrs..

We been missing you.  Carrots don't love me either raw or cooked, same with broccoli.  Now that I think about it, I guess I don't do any raw veggies.  Too hard on the pouch no matter how much I chew.
