Counting Every Ounce!
Ok, I have been really slow now. I am not giving up and have a plan to get past it. I weighed in on Saturday and I was exactly 251. Last week I was 252.8. That means that I have lost 1.8 pds this last week and I am glad. I think that my workout (the cardio part - training is great) has hit a slump. I worked up to a 3 and have been doing 20-30 minutes but it is not challenging. So on Friday I worked at a 3.2 and did an incline of 3 for about half the time. I really felt like I was working harder and I think that will make a difference. Also today I could not get to the gym so when Gordon got home we put the girls to bed and Josh and Ted played the WII while Gordon and I went out and biked the neighborhood. Without the kids I could really push it with Gordon (keeping up with that guy was hard) and we biked a mile and a quarter together. So I managed a good workout today and tomorrow I hit the gym. Even if it is 1.8 pounds a week I will keep going. I really want to lose 15 pds more before Thanksgiving so I am praying this slump passes and I can get back to 3 to 4 pds. (Not that I am greedy)

Keep up the great work. I lost 2 pound while on vacation. I start at the GYM tonight ... I did 4 incline at 3mph at the Y, but wasn't breaking a sweat. I'm going push it today.
ReplyDeleteRuth, does your treadmill have classic workouts on them? It's what I use on my treadmill. I love that it changes speed and incline without me even thinking about it. It gets my heartrate up and is a great workout, and the best part is it's 30 mins. Check into that. I think you'll find it's a better workout. I like the one that only goes up to the 3.5 speed but changes incline up to a 6. Good Luck! And as Dory would say, "Just Keep Swimming!"
