losing 3.6 lb a week
26 November 2012
I HAD to take advantage of at least one Cyber Monday deal, so I bought a pair of SIZE 20 TALL jeans... I haven't worn a size 20 in 3 or 4 years, but I'll be wearing them in 3 months! Mom and I made a pact!

I'm scared to weigh myself. I know I'm putting on muscle, and I have to be losing fat with the amount of calories I'm eating and burning, but I know if I get on the scale and it hasn't moved - I will be devastated. Is it wrong to skip the first week's weigh-in just so I can be assured of some progress when I finally do weigh in?

I'm seriously having a hard time getting in all the calories I need to eat. This is something totally new to me. Maybe this calorie counter is wrong. I'm weighing my food, so I know I'm not underestimating. I guess not eating fast food and pizza has really made a difference!
I've just gotten some protein powder for shakes, so I will be trying to have a couple of those on the days I work out at least. I need to find some good recipes.
My best friend right now is soy sauce. I'm loving the steak stir fry, and using bags of pre-cut veggies makes it a quick and easy meal. I'm not working out as much as I would like - still avoiding it. Gotta get on the ball if I plan to win this contest. I'm a little depressed and I use that as an excuse to skip classes. Not good... at least I still have my trainer, and he will be up my ass tomorrow!

Today is the first day of my Total Body Makeover challenge. At the end of my rope with my lack of fitness and the sick of the miseries of being overweight, I signed up for 6 months with a personal trainer, spent a lot of money at the gym, and entered the contest there to INSURE that I would not stop this time until THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
I had done a boot camp for a few months previously, but found an excuse to quit, as usual. While my beloved friend K is doing incredible in the class, I myself don't like group classes and I HATE aerobics. I'm uncoordinated and slow; I felt like a hippo running with gazelles. I daresay the gazelles were none to pleased to have me slowing them down. I've found, though, that I love weightlifting! My goal now is to lift a lot, build muscle, lose fat, and try to get my endurance up slowly instead of doing hours of crazy aerobics.
First thoughts on this plan, now that I have begun:
- I'm smart. I won't be able to give up this time, because I have entirely too much invested in it. I could have bought a good used car with what I have spent on my future smaller butt.
- I'm sore! I love lifting. I am naturally strong and my trainer, a nice young man who seems to know what he's talking about if you ask those muscles of his, thinks I'll move along to heavier weights quite well.
- I'm having trouble getting in all the protein I need! In fact, I've had very little desire to eat at all. When I do eat, I eat veggies and meat. I did order some kind of protein shake today, so maybe that will help, but right now I'm barely over a third of what I've calculated I need to prevent muscle loss!
- I'm scared. I really want to do this, and I think I can, but I've failed and given up so many times. SO many times. If it happens again... well, that will really suck.
I'm getting married in March, for the first time at age 43, to a guy who loves me to pieces just as I am. I hope I look better than I do now (the human thumb) in six months.
